Your Tour Choosing
With so much choice, it’s hard to know where to start. We’re here to help you choose your perfect walking or trekking holiday!
Which continent…? Which country…? What distances and what terrain...? How challenging…? When you’re trying to choose your ideal walking holiday it can be hard to know where to start.
We’ve graded and described all the tours in this brochure to help make your decision-making easier. Every tour has been given a Trek Grade, a Tour Comfort rating and a Tour Style. Have a look through the tours by Trek Grade on the right and you’ll be able to see exactly which walking or trekking holiday is best for you.
Trekking Grades Easy, Moderate, Challenging, Tough
All of our treks are graded to help you choose the right tour. Our grading takes into account the daily distances, as well as the terrain, the altitude and the amount of ascent. When a trip falls between two grades we use an intermediate grade, e.g. Easy to Moderate. Individual tour pages include information about the route and the terrain. All tours have a chart detailing ascent and descent, plus a guide to the number of hours spent walking each day. For more detailed day-by-day descriptions of the walks, along with picture galleries, reviews from previous customers and current tour dates and prices, please take a look at our website.
Easy
Suitable for most people in good health, these easy walks are predominantly on good paths, at low altitude and on undemanding terrain. Previous walking or trekking experience is not necessary.
E
Moderate For those who are fi t and active, these moderate walks are normally on good paths and tracks at low altitude. Days may include some fairly demanding ascents and descents, so previous experience is preferable but not essential.
E
Challenging You need to have a good level of fi tness and previous trekking experience is recommended. Trekking days are generally longer, challenging and at higher altitudes. Terrain may be diffi cult and ascents and descents are often demanding.
U
Tough For our toughest treks, you must be physically fi t and a confi dent and experienced trekker. Trekking days are long and tough, with diffi cult terrain and you should expect demanding ascents and descents with long periods of time at high altitude.with high levels of fi tness and stamina.
