OVERVIEW OF ROUTES

TREKKING GRADES

Each of the treks has been rated according to difficulty within the following guidelines:

 moderate: 6–12 days of trekking, with some reasonably demanding ascents/descents, but on mostly good paths.

 strenuous: 7–14 days with some high or steep passes to cross – could involve exposed sections.

 demanding: 10+ days with a succession of high or steep passes, occasional difficult and exposed terrain and/or glacier crossing.

Where a trek’s classification falls between these categories either a + sign is given to indicate a higher level of difficulty, or two grades have been amalgamated. The table below lists all 20 treks showing their total distances, ascents, average daily ascents and estimated completion times.
