Hiking, trekking and peak climbing may all sound like they are the same thing. However, when you are in Nepal, you will quickly realize that there is a major difference between the three! A hike is normally a one-day thing, although in Nepal, they end up being a few days in length. When you are talking about trekking, you are talking about a week long hike and sometimes longer. Peak climbing is hiking or trekking, as well as a few technical aspects. Those technical aspects include walking on snow and ice, climbing walls and glaciers, and maneuvering through crevasses. Any of these three things can have you experiencing altitude sickness in this part of the world, since the mountains are all quite high.
