I have given each trek a difficulty grade: Easy, Moderate, Strenuous and challenging. If you are trekking for the first time, In order to enjoy your trekking experience, you need to know which grade best matches your physical capabilities.
Easy Treks
Experience is not necessary at this level, anyone who is in good health and fit enough to enjoy a good weekend hill walk can manage this grade. Usually, easy grade treks are short in duration and at lower altitudes; when part of a package holiday they are often optional, giving a chance of a rest day. However, walking always involves some exertion: trails are seldom flat and you must still expect to have a reasonable amount of ascent and descent. An easy graded trek will last from 2 to 4 hours.
Moderate Treks
The Moderate treks begin to present more of a challenge to first time trekkers and are tougher than easy treks. These treks are suitable for any walker looking for something a little more challenging and energetic. Most people who enjoy a weekend in the hills or mountains at home are capable of undertaking a trek at this level, you need to be in good health and reasonably fit and you will almost certainly be taking regular exercise. A trek could be graded Moderate either as a fairly easy medium-duration walk, or as a harder, shorter walk. Some walking at higher altitude and the occasional longer or more difficult day may be involved, but generally conditions underfoot will be fair. A walking day would normally be between 5 to 8 hours long and no experience is necessary.
Moderate to strenuous
A moderate to strenuous trek requires a medium level of fitness. During these treks you will be required to walk up to 6 hours in one day. The trails will not always be clear and may at times be narrow and steep. Moderate to strenuous treks are normally in well facilitated areas but at times you should be prepared for minimal facilities and amenities and you will be more isolated from major roads and towns.
Strenuous Treks
For any trek at this level, fitness is most important and you may have to improve yours before departure. Most Strenuous treks are equivalent to extended walking in mountainous terrain at home. Walking days are usually between 6 and 8 hours although there may be some longer days. Previous trekking experience is desirable but not essential if you are confident of your physical condition.
