Moderate
|
| The average walking duration is six to eight hours on this trip. You will need a good level of fitness as it involves many ascents and descents. Walking on the hills with a rucksack on can be a good preparation for this kind of trek. |

| |
| Challenging |
| As this type of trek involves walks through remote areas for seven to eight hours at the average altitude of 5,500 meters, you will need a very good physical fitness and ability to climb steep uphill and downhill. On few occasions, like climbing a peak or crossing a pass, you might need to walk for ten hours a day. Hill walking, carrying eight kilogram (twenty pound) pack in variable weather condition can be a good preparation. |
