What is a ormal trekking day like?
In the mountains it is always wise to make a reasonably early start. This allows for a relaxed walk and allows our porters and pack animals time to carry substantial loads to our next camp. The morning weather is often the clearest and we like to have time to relax and explore once we have reached our destination. So a typical day will start with a cup of tea brought to your tent around 6am. Breakfast at 7am and then we head off when everyone is ready, usually around 8am. We may walk for 3 to 4 hours and then take a long lunch break. This break gives the enthusiastic time to add to their collection of photographs. We continue in the afternoon usually reaching camp around 3 or 4pm. More hot drinks are available at camp and there is plenty of relaxing and exploring time before eating an evening meal around 7pm. A game of cards, reading or visiting a local family may be the evening activity and most people will be in their sleeping bags by around 9pm.
