Hiking Time Calculator (Naismith's Rule)
Distance (km)
Total Ascent (m)
Walking Pace (km/h)
Naismith's rule: 1h per 5km + 1h per 600m ascent
Naismith's Rule estimates hiking time: 1 hour per 5 km of distance plus 1 extra hour per 600 m of ascent. Adjust for terrain, fitness level, and weather conditions.
- 1Base time = Distance / Walking pace (km/h)
- 2Ascent time = Ascent (m) / 600 h
- 3Total = Base + Ascent time
- 4Add 20–30% for rough terrain, poor weather, or heavy pack
10 km hike, 450m ascent, 4km/h pace=Base: 2.5h; Ascent: 0.75h; Total ≈ 3h 15min
| Terrain | Typical speed |
|---|---|
| Flat good path | 4–5 km/h |
| Undulating | 3–4 km/h |
| Steep, rough | 2–3 km/h |
| Scrambling | 1–2 km/h |
