Is Kokoda Harder Than Nepal

[sas]

Having trekked to Everest base camp in Nepal, I was curious as to how hard the Kokoda Trail would be.

Now having completed it, I would say that the trail (especially at 9 days) is Easier (by a considerable margin) than Nepal.

I trekked with some other trekkers who had done Annapurna, they had the same feelings.

The first day's walk from Kokoda to Issurava is about the same as Nepal. However, Nepal is far more sustained. The altitude there knocks you round more than the heat in PNG.

Any other trekkers done both?

Hi sas, thanks for your info… this has been a question often asked by many to us and we didn't know until now <img src="http://developer2/board/upload/style_emoticons//smile.gif&#8221; style=”vertical-align:middle” emoid=”:)” border=”0″ alt=”smile.gif” />

I'm just curious, is Annapurna the name of the track in Nepal or is it another one?

thanks

Hi,
I must agree, Nepal is harder, mainly because of the height and it goes on and on, longer than 9 days. I took three weeks and that was pushed a bit.
The best part about Kokoda is the historical links to Australia and it is still a great trek.

Nepal can be tricky with the cold weather but it has a lot more opportunities to stop and recover if you want to stay in some of the villages etc. They are both great, just different.
