| Nepal Trek Grade: |
| |
Asian Journey Treks & Expeditions (P) Ltd have graded the treks to help you to decide if a particular trek is suitable for you. However, please contact us to ask about tailoring treks to suit your particular needs.
You must first make a realistic assessment of your fitness level and experience before taking on any trek. The table below shows how we grade our treks, but you should note that taking longer to do a particular trek may well reduce its difficulty. You must also consider altitude as a serious factor, as fitness levels are not necessarily an indicator as to ability to cope with high altitude. All treks to altitude contain acclimatization days to help you achieve your goal.
