Trail Regions & Routes

The scenic middle hills between Kathmandu and Pokhara — preserved Newari hilltop towns, panoramic viewpoints, and quiet trails off the tourist circuit.

The Khumbu homeland of the Sherpa — Everest Base Camp, Gokyo Lakes, the Three Passes, and the lower Solu viewpoints.

A ring of forested hills around the Kathmandu Valley — Shivapuri, Nagarjun, Champadevi, Phulchoki, Chandragiri, Kakani, and beyond. Short cultural walks and half-day ridge climbs within an hour of Thamel.

The closest major trekking region to Kathmandu — glacial valleys, sacred lakes, and the culturally rich homeland of the Tamang and Hyolmo people.

A restricted-area trek around the world's eighth highest peak — the 'new Annapurna Circuit' with far fewer trekkers and rich Tibetan culture.

The walled medieval kingdom of Lo Manthang — Trans-Himalayan desert and living Tibetan Buddhist culture.

Nepal's adventure capital — Sarangkot sunrise, Peace Pagoda boat-and-climb, Australian Camp, and the gateway trails of the Annapurna foothills.
