Trekking

The term trekking is traditionally applied to overland journeys made on foot, usually involving the support of a trek crew to carry personal belongings, along with any tents, food and cooking equipment that may be required. This is the very form of travel used by pioneer explorers and mountaineers in the world's greater ranges, from the Andes to the Himalaya. Over time, this notion of trekking has evolved and now encompasses everything from extended camping trips into true wilderness areas, to shorter holidays, staying in guesthouses and hotels and involving a series of day-hikes. Whichever form of trekking you undertake, you can be sure you'll enjoy breaking out of your day-to-day routine and walking through exotic landscapes, with the chance to experience different cultures. It is important that you read the trip description and the trip dossier carefully before booking your trip. Depending on the grade of the trip, the average day's walk can vary between 4 and 8 hours.
