Description of trekking

2. Trekking is making a journey on foot, especially to hike through
mountainous areas often for multiple days and along lovely
mountains villages and enjoying nature and/or close contact
with people in remote mountain villages where lifestyle
sometimes is unchanged since many generations.

3. Trekkers without previous experience are offered a diverse range of
easy treks. The easy trek involves no difficult climbing or ascents to
high altitudes and is usually less than a week suitable for everyone.
However, it is not loss of height means loss of interest while lower
altitude treks often provide colorful horizons of a whole series of
mountain ranges. The easy treks are considered of full access of
teahouses and low altitude.

trekker looking for something a bit more energetic. In general they are

altitudes. At this altitude, you will be rewarded with close-up views of
bigger mountains. The medium treks are considered of full access of
higher altitudes.
