Discover Nepal'sHidden Treasures

Seven days through Tamang villages in Rasuwa, north of Kathmandu, on a trail that never goes above 3,165 m — the one Himalayan trek where altitude is not a factor you have to plan around.

Twelve days up the Dudh Koshi to the Gokyo lakes at 4,790 m, beside the longest glacier in Nepal, and up Gokyo Ri at 5,357 m for a panorama holding four of the world’s fourteen 8,000 m peaks.

Nineteen days over the Kongma La, Cho La and Renjo La, taking in Everest Base Camp, Kala Patthar and the Gokyo lakes — the hardest trek in Nepal that still sleeps in lodges every night.

Seven days up the Modi Khola into the Annapurna Sanctuary — a glacial amphitheatre at 4,130 m ringed by 7,000 m peaks, and the only trek in Nepal where you sleep inside one.

Twelve days up the Budhi Gandaki and around Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain on earth, finishing over the 5,106 m Larke La into the Annapurna trail.

Eighteen days up the remote Hinku valley to the summit of Mera Peak at 6,476 m, then over the technical Amphu Laptsa pass into the Khumbu and on to Everest Base Camp — an expedition rather than a trek.

Fifteen days to Everest Base Camp and up Lobuche East at 6,119 m — the peak that rises straight off the Base Camp trail, and the most sustained climbing of the three Khumbu trekking peaks.

Thirteen days north of the Himalaya into the old Tibetan kingdom of Lo — red cliffs, cave cities, and a walled capital at 3,840 m — and the one trek in Nepal that works during the monsoon.
