Trip Grades

Adventure Tours Pakistan doesn’t explicitly use a standardized grading system for their treks and trips. 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 hikes and 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: Strenuous

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: Hard

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: Extremely Hard

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.
