Do I need to train to participate in the trip?

For our levels 1-3, you do not have to train to participate, but Footprint recommends some exercise prior to departure. For outdoor adventures levels 4-5, you may want to train or be skilled enough to participate at this level.

What If I can not trek or ride all the way to the destination?

Most of the cycle trips have a supported vehicle going along with you, so you can easily jump on it at any time you wish. However, there are still bad trails that no vehicle can support. Please consult this with a Footprint travel expert or our tour guide prior to your adventure.

All trekking are off the beaten track and most of them are not accessible by car or motorcycle, however, we will see your fitness, weather and suggest you proper routes that are more suitable to you and will also have a porter to support us along.
