Trekking grades in Nepal are necessary to know which trek matches most with your physical capabilities in order to enjoy your trekking in Nepal. Thus, we have categorized all our treks in the following ranks.

1. Grade A (^)

This is also called easy grade. Obviously, the easiest trips are designed to enjoy everyone, even for family groups with younger children.

In this grade trekker have to pass up to 3000 meters of altitude, with 7–10 days of trekking camp. Who leads a reasonably active life can pass these trekking trips easily.

2. Grade B (^^)

This trip is slightly tough then easy trek. Here also, fresher people can go on this trek, but they need to be more enthusiastic, with a little more challenging perseverance and energy. In this grade, children may not be suitable because the trek will reach an elevation approaching 4000 meters of altitude, around 7 hours of walking, mixed with some longer and shorter walks. The trekking is no more than a 14-day trip in this grade.

3. Grade C (^^^)

Grade C trekking conditions are tough trekking, which requires a lot of stamina for long walks with little knowledge of techniques for steep up and down on well at hill. Here, climbing exceeds 5000 meters of altitude, but rope climbing skill is required. Treks at this level can be made for a time period of 7–15 days, and the walk is not more than 7 hours per day. You might get high altitude symptoms like headache, dizziness, breathlessness, and disorientation, but your experience guide will minimize the chance of getting sick by making you prepare in advance and ensuring proper acclimation.
