Trekking Grades
For many of our treks,
you can choose between
camping or staying in
Mountain lodges. which
are locally-run guest
houses, but standards
vary enormously. In the
popular areas, such as
Annapurna, lodges are
more like hotels, with
hot water, Western food,
and private rooms, in
more remote areas, they
are far simpler and more
authentically Nepalese.
Mountain Lodge trekking
is less expensive than
camping, and is suitable
for smaller groups. With
larger groups,
irrespective of the
area, it is more
practical to camp. We
provide all the
necessary camping
equipment dining and
toilet tents plus our
guides, porters and
cooks, you trek in
comfort with Western
food of a high standard.
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.
