Walking, trekking and mountaineering adventures and expeditions worldwide. The Himalayas, the Andes, Kokoda trail, Mount Kilimanjaro, the Drakensberg and Simien mountains.
Walking
Trips with the 'Walking' activity associated with them, offer easy day walks and shorter walks, often returning to the starting point the same day. They differ from 'trekking' holidays in the sense that trekking trips tend to follow a longer route, hiking to a different point each day, over a longer period and often at much higher altitudes. The accommodation will often be in a lodge or guesthouse.
Trekking
'Trekking' trips are usually for extended durations of at least 4 days and as long as three weeks. Examples of shorter treks are the Inca Trail in Peru (4 days), or Mount Kilimanjaro (5 days) in Tanzania, while our treks in the Himalaya can be as long as three weeks. Longer, more remote region like Around Dhaulagiri, treks will be camping treks. Peregrine includes a trek pack on all treks and a portable altitude chamber on all trips that sleep at an altitude in excess of 4500 metres. |
