Reality Check
The trek involves around 5-7 hours of walking each day on well-established trails and you should be confident of your physical fitness before the trek starts.
There are some longer days, particularly the trek to the Goecha La. There are a few steep ascents, but these are compensated by the spectacular scenery.
This is a fully supported camping trek and we provide spacious two-person tents, dining and toilet tents, stools, tables, cooking and kitchen gear and a team of support staff.
All groups will be accompanied by a leader, who will be supported by assistant guides, cook team and porters.
Walking Conditions This trek is nearly all on well-established trails, and there are no particularly difficult sections, although above Lake Samiti some of the walking is over rough ground. The day to the Goecha La will be a very long day but otherwise the walking will be between 5 and 7 hours a day. Grade C; 9 days walking; maximum altitude 4940m, average 3800m.
Normal group size and age
Normally 6 to 16, plus leader and appropriate local staff. Minimum age 18.
Icons explained
The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together.
All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please
see our Solo Departures page.
Fitness is important and you may have to improve yours before departure. Most treks at this grade compare to extended walking in mountainous terrain such as the Lakes of Snowdonia, but usually at significantly higher altitudes; climate and remoteness can also play a part. Previous trekking experience is desirable, but not vital if you are confident of your physical condition.
Walking & Trekking: Trips are wholly trekking-focused or simply include a significant number of walking days during the itinerary.
