Gentle Trek

Typically up to about a week’s trekking, or series of day walks. Around 4 to 6 hours walking per day, on average, at low altitudes, in areas of cultural interest and with opportunities for interaction with local people. Really flat paths are unusual in the Himalayas, and walks normally involve a reasonable amount of ascent and descent. Suitable for anyone who enjoys long weekend hill walks at home, carrying only light day sacs. Gentle treks may be teahouse or camping, and are eminently suitable for those wishing to experience the magnificence of the Himalayas without too much strain.
