Trip Rating Scale
One of the hardest things to determine when making a booking is ‘how hard is this trip?’
What makes this even more challenging is that our opinion on what is challenging is different. What is easy for you may be challenging for another traveller booking on 10Adventures Tours.
We have come up with a 5-point difficulty scale, which we explain below. While the scale is useful, we recommend you check out the daily itinerary to make sure you have experience completing similar activities and distances before. Please be aware that elevation greatly curtails most peoples capabilities, and a 10km hike at 4,000m is significantly more difficult than a 10km hike at 2,000m elevation.
