GRADING OF TRIPS

Grading of each trip has been done keeping in mind a lot of factors like the trip duration, the altitude, the terrain, the no. of hours of activity everyday, temperatures and conditions encountered, and the level of fitness needed.  Any kind of exercise which gets you fitter before this trip is advisable, as it will enable you to enjoy the region more.
