What is the difficulty level of the treks?

How challenging are the treks? The complexity of a hike is tough to categorize because it depends on your fitness and experience hiking in the mountains. The difficulty of a trek in the Himalayas is determined by the steepness of the trail, the overall altitude, and the duration of the walk. In general, the higher you go, the more difficult the journey.
 
Most treks in the lower foothills (Ghorepani, Ghandruk, and Pikey Peak) are generally easy, however, some days will be more difficult than others. Higher-altitude hikes (Everest Base Camp, Gokyo, Annapurna Circuit, and Nar Phu) are more difficult because you’ll be crossing 5,000m passes and walking for longer periods.

Do I have to carry my equipment?

Your daily necessities (sunscreen, water, cap, light jacket, and camera) will be carried by you, but your porter will carry the majority of your gear, such as extra clothing and overnight necessities. Porters are especially useful on longer hikes where you will be carrying more goods. If you’re comfortable carrying your luggage on shorter treks (2-3 days), you can choose simply a guide, but hiring a porter is a terrific way to support the local economy and is relatively reasonable.
