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. |
