The grades are our own definitions and should not be interpreted in a literal sense. Please call us for friendly and well-informed advice.

Access-Himalaya adventure travel treks are, by definition, adventurous. We have awarded grades to our treks according to our observations over the years as regards clients' average ability and stamina, although it should be borne in mind that what might indeed be described as Moderate at the age of 30 might be a little less so as the 70s approach! Clients need to understand their own strengths and weaknesses, and address these honestly if they are to get the most out of any trek. All treks will be easy sometimes, yet may also be challenging at other times, even though perhaps for just an hour or two: the Himalayas are a unique range of mountains - the highest in the world - and there is no such thing as 'flat' terrain as defined elsewhere, even in the foothills! If you are particularly interested in any trek, and are wondering about your own ability to cope with its demands, please get in touch and we will be happy to discuss the matter with you.
