Treks are basically backpacking trips without the heavy packs. Trekkers carry just a light daypack with the day's essentials while all other gear is transported from camp to camp by ponies or yaks. Nor do trekkers have to fuss with setting up camp and cooking. A well trained staff sets up the tents, prepares the meals and generally take cares almost everything except for the walking! Everything from dining to sleeping tents is provided and First Time trekkers are often amazed by the level of creature comforts possible on a well organized trek. With these aspects taken care of, you are left free to enjoy the hike and the spectacular scenery.
