Reality Check
Grade C/D
This trek is graded C/D. This is a strenuous trek over rugged terrain including boulders, scree and glaciated terrain. It is not suitable for people who suffer from vertigo. Some of the ascents and descents are steep and some of the days are long. You should be fit and confident of your walking ability and be prepared for around 7-8 hours walking each day.
This is a light backpacking trip and you will need to pack appropriately. A 40-litre rucksack is recommended. A typical pack would include 2 litre water bottle, lunch and snacks, a sleeping bag liner, waterproof jacket and trousers, warm jacket, trousers, spare socks and underwear, hat and gloves. In addition, you may bring a torch, toiletries and personal extras such as cameras, sun cream and a book. A small First Aid kit and blister kit is also recommended.
Group size and age
Min. 6, max. 12. 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.
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 Challenging/Tough. 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: Trips are wholly trekking-focused or simply include a significant number of walking days during the itinerary.
