Nevertheless we want to warn our trekkers that
the level of difficulty of a trek is very
subjective. Weather conditions, your physical
condition, possible health problems during the
trek and other factors can have an important
influence on the way you experience a trek.
Grade A - Moderate :
These trips are not so hard. Maximum walking 6-7
hours and it's below 4000 meters. Any reasonably
fit person should be able to manage these trips.
This grade applies for 7-16 days walking.
Grade B - Moderate +:
These trips are not so hard either. The
elevation comes below 5000 meters and the
duration of these trips is 12-19 days. Any
reasonably active person should be able to
manage these trips.
Grade C - Strenuous :
We consider this level the hardest available
trek in Nepal, but still these treks are in
reach of most people. However, you must be very
fit for this sort of trip. Those who suffer from
asthma, high blood pressure, heart disease or
complicated medical conditions adversely
affected by strenuous exercise may not
participate. These trips are above 5000 meters
and for the duration of 20 days and above.
Grade D - Strenuous + :
Extremely demanding treks sometimes in very
remote areas on rough terrain and perhaps
including (in Nepal) one or more of the
so-called 'trekking peaks' - maximum altitude,
Mt. Mera at 6,461m/21,192ft. participants should
have at least a basic knowledge of use of
crampons and ice axes, though first time
climbers may be accepted on some of the
so-called 'easy' routes on these peaks. Medical
certificates are required prior to acceptance on
any climbing treks. |
