Hiking
A day activity — a few hours to a full day.
Done on well-marked, maintained trails.
Requires minimal gear, usually a light daypack.
Terrain is predictable and generally easier.
Accessible for beginners and spontaneous plans.
Trekking
A multi‑day journey involving overnight stays.
Passes through remote, rugged, or mixed terrain, sometimes unmarked.
Requires more preparation, detailed route planning, and heavier gear.
Physically more demanding with changing conditions.
Simple way to remember:
Hiking = a day’s walk on a trail.
Trekking = several days of walking through wilderness.
