mountain treks

Peak-bound trail walks

Mountain treks are extended hiking journeys through mountainous terrain, typically lasting multiple days and involving significant elevation changes.

The term suggests adventure and physical challenge beyond a casual day hike: We planned a mountain trek through the Himalayas.

Trek implies ruggedness—you trek where trails are rough or nonexistent, carrying supplies and camping along the way.
