What is trekking?
Trekking generally involve walking
along the well defined trails of approximately 6 to 7
hours a day or so. There will rarely be flat trails, as
most of the trails go upward or downwards. Trekking does
not involve any technical climbing and as such be
enjoyed by any fit individuals, i.e., especially if they
prepare themselves physically before the trip. Porters
carry all the equipments, foodstuffs and personal
baggages (Except your cameras, water bottle and parcel).
They are also helped by pack ponies and yaks
occasionally. English speaking Sherpa guides keep an eye
on the fast and slow walkers and with the individual
they can travel or trek as one pleases.
