trekking grade |

The level of difficulty of our
treks is symbolized by one to five trekkers. While
grading our treks we have taken the following
factors into account
• The total duration of the trekking.
• The duration of stay at high altitude (+3000m).
• The maximum difference in altitude per day.
• The condition of the terrain.
• The average duration of the daily stages.
|
 |
|
• The night temperatures.
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 3 - 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 4 - 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 5 - 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 6 - 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. |
