What is trekking?
Trekking is long-distance walking on natural trails that can cross mountain country or remote regions.
Unlike an ordinary hike, trekking often means carrying your own kit and covering serious distances.
The emphasis is on adventure, self-reliance and being close to the country you are crossing.
It can involve nights in huts, refuges or camping where it is allowed.
