The Difference Between Hiking dan Trekking

Trekking – Recently there has been a refraction of the meaning and understanding of the words trekking and hiking, this is because there has been a refraction because it is influenced by tourism businesses that take the trekking business brand without doing an academic study, including in this case search engines such as Google also contribute in refracting the understanding and meaning of the words trekking and hiking, as well as the writer who wrote “Trekking Puncak Kencana via Mount Paseban” which should in this paper use the word hiking instead of trekking, this is because the writing content is included in the category of hiking instead of trekking.

For more details, the difference between trekking and hiking can be seen from several factors that form it, namely 1. from the route, 2. travel time, 3. based on distance traveled, 4. based on preparation, and many more that differentiate between hiking and trekking.

Based On Explored Route

Trekking – Routes to do hiking activities use official paths or existing trails, trails that have been used before, or paths that have been made specifically for hiking activities. While trekking uses a route by opening a new travel path and there are no directions or resting places. as well as the facilities and infrastructure of the trekking route, which is still in minimal condition to pass. In this case, trekking can be said to be a journey that opens new paths with high risks and challenges. Even though it already has its own path, in hiking there are some risks of obstacles, but the risk of obstacles will be smaller than trekking, therefore trekking requires extra skills in exploring terrain that is barely sloping or flat, sometimes steep and sometimes perpendicular.

Based On Traveling Time

Trekking – The length of time required for hiking is relatively shorter than trekking. In trekking activities, the travel time will be longer than hiking, this is because the terrain taken will be longer and difficult to pass, as well as the time required to pass through the surfaces of the terrain which will take a long time. Meanwhile, hiking can be taken in less than a day’s journey or in the range of 2 hours to 8 hours, while the travel time in trekking will be difficult to predict, it can be a day, up to weeks, even months.

Based On Mileage

Trekking – The distance traveled will be directly proportional to the time. Some hiking trips have a short distance, namely the path that connects one venue/destination to another and it’s less than 40 km, while trekking has a long journey ranging from 40 km to hundreds of kilometers.

Based On Preparation

Trekking – Hiking doesn’t require a lot of equipment to carry on a trip, it’s just enough to bring a set of outdoor activities, trekking poles, water and snacks. Meanwhile, trekking requires a lot of equipment / equipment that is qualified to carry such as tools for a temporary stay or camping equipment, survival kits, travel equipment tailored to the purpose of trekking to excellent physical condition, strong mental preparation, ability navigation, and more.

It can be concluded that trekking has a longer travel path than hiking, in trekking the travel route is in an area that lacks facilities and infrastructure that can be reached for several days or even months and can cross between regions. This is different from hiking, where the journey only connects between destinations to other destinations with the distance of a day’s trip using official paths or those that have been made for hiking.

  • The type between the two is called the middle cut or mid cut. This shoe model protects the ankles with a medium level of protection, the feet can move more freely because they have a wider movement area.
