Where the legendary routes are
Some trails have shaped trekking as we know it. The Annapurna Circuit. Everest Base Camp. Poon Hill. These routes are famous for a reason: the scenery is extraordinary, the teahouse culture is rich, and the mountain views are among the finest on earth.
On the Annapurna and Everest routes, you walk through living communities with centuries of history. The Langtang valley adds a quieter alternative north of Kathmandu, with its own dramatic ridgelines and Tibetan-influenced culture. Three regions, three very different experiences. All iconic.
Where Nepal gets quiet
Beyond the classic routes lies a Nepal that most trekkers never reach. The Manaslu Circuit takes you around the world’s eighth highest mountain on a trail that feels nothing like the busy corridors further south. Mustang opens up a high-altitude desert kingdom with Tibetan architecture and wind-carved canyons. Dolpo is one of the most remote regions in the Himalayas. Kanchenjunga puts you in the far east, on the edge of the world’s third highest peak, with almost no one else around.
These are the regions we know well. And the ones we love to share.
