The travel distance in the mountains

Question

In a journey through mountains, at what distance does a person become a traveller?

Answer

In the time in which one stage is covered by walking on land — the distance of which is approximately 16 miles, while the distance of three stages is about 48 miles — whatever length of mountain road is covered in that same time will be deemed one stage, and three stages will be called the travel distance.
