Moderate: The trails on these treks do not exceed 4000 Metres. in height. Walk will be somewhere between 6-7 hours a day and can be undertaken if in good physical condition.
Demanding: Trips operating in remote areas and in altitude more than 5000 Metres. You need to be in very good shape and physically fit. You will have some really arduous days on the trail. Physical preparation beforehand is very necessary.
Strenuous - The most difficult treks, involving many long days, often in isolated areas and usually at extreme altitudes of up to 6,000metres. These treks might also include difficult pass crossings, use of ropes and require basic mountaineering skills and equipment. A high level of fitness and previous trekking experience is essential.
