Each trek has been
given a grade based on the level of difficulty to be encountered. Most of our
treks in the Indian Himalaya including easy treks can go up to at least 3500m
to 4000m. The grading system is subjective to a degree and conditions can vary
year to year, but it gives a good overall picture of what you are likely to
experience. Please contact us if you have any question about the grading
levels.
EASY: These treks have 3 to 4
hours walking per day and can involve some ascent and descent. These trips are
open for the first timers and families.
MODERATE: These treks generally
have 4 to 6 hours of walking per day and can involve a reasonable amount of
ascent and descent. This grade would suitable for someone in good health and
who is regular walker. Suitable for anyone who is used to walking on weekends
or so, no previous trekking experience required.
STRENEOUS: Anything from 10 to 15
days trekking with some crossing mountain passes at over 5000m. Challenging
mountain terrain will be encountered including scree slopes, glacial moraines,
or areas with no proper paths. No technical climbing/mountaineering skills
required but considerable stamina will be needed.
