Reality Check

9 days trekking and camping in the dramatic and wild Ala Dag Mountains, plus daywalks through spectacular scenery of Cappadocia; all vehicle or mule supported.

Altitude maximum 3723m, average 2250m. Grade B/C.

The walking in Ala Dag is graded C as it's quite strenuous, with some steep ascents and descents. There is also quite a lot of scree in some places where some scrambling may be required.

On the June departures there may well be snow so you will need to be prepared for this.

The daywalks in Cappadocia are much more moderate and are the equivalent of a B grade.

The trip is a good mix of trekking and cultural exploration, and the camping is fully supported. The camp sites are in spectacular and remote locations and as a result the facilities are basic.

All the camps have showers and toilets although hot water may be limited or unavailable.

Normal group size and age

Normally 7 to 16, plus leader and local staff. Minimum age 16.

Adult Group Holidays 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.


Moderate / Challenging In order to provide a more accurate grading system, where a trip falls between two grades we use an intermediate or split grade, for example Moderate/Challenging. Occasionally, there are optional activities available en route, in this case the optional grade is indicated in brackets, for example Grade Challenging (climb Tough+). Clearly, conditions may differ from region-to-region or month-to-month and as such the information given on these pages is designed to act as a guide only. In all cases you should refer to the respective holiday's Trip Notes for further details.


Walking & Trekking Walking & Trekking: Trips are wholly trekking-focused or simply include a significant number of walking days during the itinerary.
