Trip Grading:

Easy These trips can be enjoyed by anyone who leads a reasonably active life. The walking part of these trips is relatively easy and should not exceed 5 to 6 hours a day.

Moderate These trips are a mixture of some longer and shorter walks. During these trips, hill walking experience is desirable. The walking hours are usually no more than 7 hours a day. Please note that some of our non-trekking trips are graded moderate due to altitude or other conditions that require a higher level of stamina than our easy trips.

Challenging The day stages on these trips are a combination with strenuous and moderate walks - normally 6 to 8 hours a day. Participants should expect to trek above 4,500 metres on these trips.

Mountaineering These trips are known to be the most strenuous and are regarded as a genuine adventure. An experience of mountaineering with the capabilities of carrying on normally at an altitude of 4,000-5,000 metres and a degree of good stamina is important. Daily walking is approximately 8 to 9 hours.
