Trekking Levels Suitable for Different Ages

Whether you are new to trekking or already an experienced trekker, you will know that trekking is clearly divided into different levels. From Nature Walking and Mountain Hiking to Trekking, you need to choose the level that suits you. Trekking is a group activity that requires good coordination and teamwork among everyone on the trip. That is why choosing the right trekking tour for yourself and your travel companions is always very important. 

Trekking levels suitable for different ages

 

Nature Walking for all ages from 8 to 50

Many people trying trekking for the first time have average fitness and no previous trekking experience. Do not rush into difficult routes. Start with Nature Walking, a trail-walking activity focused on enjoying life and admiring the beauty of nature. This is the simplest trekking level and is suitable for almost everyone. You can join with your family without worrying that children or adults will become exhausted. If your purpose is to relax and walk through the mountains and forests without using too much energy, Nature Walking is a suitable choice. 

Nature Walking for beginners

 In a day, you will usually need to move for no more than 6 hours, conquer peaks below 1,800m, and handle a small elevation change of around 600m. Some level-1 trekking tours from To Ong include 8 Nang Tien in Ninh Thuan and Khanh Hoa, the Easternmost Point in Dam Mon, and Ta Nang – Phan Dung in Lam Dong and Binh Thuan. 

Mountain Hiking – a trekking level suitable for ages 18 to 40

For those with good fitness, some experience on easier routes, and a desire to move up a level, choosing a mountain hiking trip is a very sensible decision. This activity follows trails with gentle slopes, mostly in forested and mountainous areas. Hiking is also an exploration activity that follows existing trails, rarely entering unfamiliar paths or overly remote areas, and usually has a clear destination. 

Mountain Hiking, a choice for ages 18 to 40

 This is an ideal choice for people aged 18-40 who have both stamina and experience. You will need to move for at least 5 hours a day, conquer peaks from 1,800-2,500m, and handle elevation differences of 600-1,000m. Some To Ong tours at this level include Nui Chua National Park in Ninh Thuan and Lao Than in Sa Pa. 

Trekking – a level for experienced trekkers

For those who are used to long-distance walking, have good health, and train regularly, trekking at this level helps you explore your personal limits. Suitable for ages 25-40, this level requires passionate mountain lovers with solid experience. It is an activity of exploration and adventure through terrain that is often dense forest, rugged hills and mountains, or steep rock faces. Trekking also demands a strong spirit of conquest and the willingness to face difficulty. 

A choice for experienced trekkers

 On these trekking tours, you may spend 7-9 hours moving each day, conquer some of Vietnam’s highest mountains from 2,500-3,200m, and face complex elevation differences of 1,000-1,800m. To Ong offers adventurous trekking tours such as Ky Quan San peak in Sa Pa and Putaleng, the third-highest mountain in Vietnam.
