What does grading (Easy, Moderate, Difficult, Strenuous) mean?

Easy Treks: No prior trekking experience or special preparation is needed—just an interest in walking. These treks typically last 2–5 days, reach up to 3,000 m, follow well-maintained trails, and involve 3–5 hours of walking per day.

Moderate Treks: Require 6–7 hours of walking daily, often on rough trails and over high-altitude passes around 4,000 m. Physical fitness, a positive attitude, and some hiking or camping experience are recommended.

Difficult Treks: Require prior trekking experience and some technical knowledge. Treks include 6–7 hours of daily walking, high passes up to 5,000 m, glacier crossings, and low-oxygen conditions. Perseverance and a positive mindset are essential.

Strenuous Treks: For experienced trekkers only. Expect long, challenging days over difficult terrain, snow, glaciers, and passes above 5,000 m. technical skills like rock and ice climbing, and the use of ice axes and crampons are required, along with excellent physical and mental fitness.
