GRADING

We have graded our trips in four different categories and you should choose one that suits you the most. Grading of a trek has been done keeping in mind a lot of factors like the trip duration, the altitude, the terrain, the no. of hours of walking everyday, the likely temperatures and the level of fitness needed.

Easy: Easy walking holidays with the occasional longer walks. Travelers need to be regular walkers to fully enjoy the experience.

Moderate: Usually having some long days and some steep ascents these treks could go up to a fairly high altitude of 4500m. These could include treks away from villages on ill-defined mountain trails. A bit of a pre trek training would help.

Demanding: Treks of demanding nature often enter remote alpine areas and sometimes reach altitudes over 5500m. Some pre-trek training such as hill walking, jogging or cycling is required.

Alpine: These are extremely demanding treks, sometimes in very remote areas on rough terrain. Participants should have at least a basic knowledge of the use of crampons and ice axe, though first time climbers may be accepted on some of the routes. Pre-trek training is essential including either hill walking with a backpack, jogging or cycling.
