Height
It is well to remember that the Himalayas begin where other mountains finish. Whether you begin your trek at a roadbed or fly into a remote mountain airstrip, a large part of your trek will be in the middle hills region at an elevation between 1000 meters and 3000 meters but the trek to Everest base camp will reach 5545 meters. Most of the time you will be within the altitude range 1500 to 2000 meters. In this region there are always well developed trails through villages and across mountain passes. Even at high altitudes there are intermittent settlements used in the summer by herders, so the trails, though often indistinct, are always there. All trails are easily traversed without the aid of ropes or any mountaineering skill.
