mountain trekking

Summit trail walking

Mountain trekking is hiking through mountainous terrain, typically over multiple days and covering significant distances.

Unlike a casual day hike, trekking implies sustained effort, elevation changes, and often overnight camping or stays in mountain huts: We spent two weeks mountain trekking in Nepal.

The activity combines physical endurance with wilderness navigation.
