Route descriptions and maps

Eight trekking routes are described in this guide, each divided into day stages. You may want, however, to change the proposed schedule and shorten or prolong your trek, or alter stages. Where possible, information on alternative routes and places to camp is given to let you arrange your trek accordingly.

Each stage description consists of a detailed description of the trail, enabling you to find the way. It should be sufficient guidance for anybody with basic experience of independent trekking. Details of starting and finishing points are given, with their respective altitudes, and the altitude range.

Distance for each stage is given, and the approximate time required. These are based on the author’s own experience of trekking independently with a heavy backpack. You may find yourself walking faster or slower – please treat the figures given for reference only and not as the exact time required. Individual hiking speeds are too variable to quantify.
