How tough will it be ?
There are treks for people of all fitness levels and / or determination. Our
treks vary from relaxed village strolls to demanding multi week expedition
style explorations. We can guide you in choosing an appropriate trek.
Almas has
always said, “90% of the trek is all in your head”
We have
trekked with people from all walks of life & age groups with varied trekking
experience. This said for non-technical treks i.e. ones where ropes crampons
and ice axes will not be required; you need not be an avid hiker or have
trekked before to embark on a journey on foot in the Himalaya.
After a
few days walking you establish a rhythm the hours and days melt into one!
In reality you can go as slowly as you want, walk at your own pace, days
can be between 4 & 9 hours. We will tailor a trek to suit you.
The
distance you walk each day is varied, Its hard to give reliable distances,
without a doubt 13 km of flat ground will require less time and effort than
climbing and descending a mountain pass!
The stages are planned to be
comfortably do-able by average walkers - many of our clients are surprised
by their abilities.
NB The availability of places to pitch
tents, clean water and acclimatization may mean we have to reach a certain
camp an a given day but generally we have options to cut days short or go a
bit further down the trail. We schedule in rest days & contingency days.
In all but the most remote
regions you will have the chance to meet other trekkers.
