Reality Check
This trip features walks at grades B on all departures, as well as grade C on the multigrade departure dates.
With such a large variety of walks in the area, leaders generally choose each day's route based on weather conditions and group ability.
B Grade 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 B 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 should be between 5 to 8 hours long and no experience is necessary.
C Grade For walks at this level, fitness is most important and you may have to improve yours before departure. Most C grade treks are equivalent to extended walking in mountainous terrain at home, but usually at significantly higher altitudes; climate and remoteness can also play a part. Walking days are usually between 6 to 8 hours although there may be some longer days for pass crossing or similar. Previous trekking experience is desirable but not essential if you are confident of your physical condition. Usually, some scrambling is involved.
Altitude maximum 3152m, average 2350m.
Normal group size and age
Normally 9 to 26, plus 2 leaders who lead a different walking grade each day. Minimum age 16.
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.
With an excellent variety of walking in some areas/regoins, it is sometimes limiting when there is only one grade of walking offered. By offering two walking grades in the same week you have greater flexibility to choose each day.
If you are unsure of your fitness or want to travel with friends who are at different walking levels then this is the perfect opportunity to walk at your preferred level each day.
