Trekking Grades

Adventure Tours Pakistan doesn’t explicitly use a standardized grading system for their treks. However, we categorize our tours based on difficulty levels, which can be roughly correlated to common trekking grade systems.

Level 1: Easy

These tours are suitable for most people with average fitness levels. They involve moderate walking on relatively flat terrain.

Examples

Cultural tours, valley walks, and shorter treks.

Level 2: Moderate

These tours require a good level of fitness and some experience in trekking. They involve longer walking distances, steeper ascents, and descents.

Examples

Treks to base camps, valley crossings, and some high-altitude treks.

Level 3: Challenging

These tours demand excellent physical fitness, experience in high-altitude trekking, and the ability to carry a backpack. They involve steep ascents, long days, and exposure to high altitudes.

Examples

Treks to remote valleys, high passes, and glacier crossings.

Level 4: Demanding

These tours are for experienced mountaineers and trekkers with exceptional fitness levels. They involve technical challenges, such as glacier travel, rock climbing, and exposure to extreme weather conditions.

Examples

Expeditions to high-altitude peaks and remote regions.

Level 5: Extreme

These tours are reserved for highly skilled mountaineers and are often considered expedition-level. They involve significant technical challenges, extreme weather conditions, and long periods of isolation.

Examples

Expeditions to 8000-meter peaks like K2 and Nanga Parbat.

It’s important to note that these are general guidelines, and the actual difficulty of a trek can vary depending on factors such as weather conditions, group pace, and individual fitness levels.

To get a more accurate assessment of the difficulty of a specific trek, it’s best to consult with Adventure Tours Pakistan directly or research the trek in detail.
