Mosaic Adventure Trekking Grades

1. Leisurely - Activities are optional. None requires prior experience or fitness level.

2. Easy - You don't have to be in great physical shape, all you need is the desire to go. You'll do easy sightseeing on foot through cities, towns, monasteries, etc., with optional day hikes as long as three to four hours

3. Moderate - Expect to walk, hike or ride four to five hours a day, although you should be prepared for several long, spectacular days on the trail of up to six hours or more.

4. Strenuous - These trips push you, but if you're in reasonably good physical condition, you can do it. In other words, if you regularly ride a bike, ski, run, or work out in a gym, you will enjoy the rigors of these treks and finish the trip in great shape. Most days are five to six hours of trekking, but could occasionally be more depending on your endurance.

5. Alpine - You must have previous trekking experience and be prepared for long days into remote  wilderness where elevations are above 18,000 feet. Extremely demanding treks sometimes in very remote areas on rough terrain and includes 'trekking peaks’ which require technical climbing on snow and ice. Participants should have at least a basic knowledge of use of crampons and ice axes. Medical certificates are required prior to acceptance on any climbing treks.
