Trekking in Nepal is a dream come true for adventure seekers worldwide. Known as the birthplace of commercial trekking since the early 1960s, Nepal offers an incredible diversity of routes that cater to every type of trekker – from short scenic hikes to challenging high-altitude expeditions.
With the towering Himalayas as its backdrop, Nepal’s trekking routes showcase spectacular mountain views, vibrant cultures, and pristine natural beauty. From the iconic Everest and Annapurna regions to remote trails in Langtang, Manaslu, Mustang, Dhaulagiri, and Kanchenjunga, every journey promises unforgettable moments. For true explorers, the Great Himalayan Trail – stretching from Humla and Darchula in the west to Kanchenjunga in the east – offers the ultimate long-distance challenge.
Nepal’s geographical contrast is truly astonishing: its lowest point lies at just 59 meters above sea level, while the highest, Mount Everest (8,848 m), stands among the clouds – only 200 km apart. This incredible variation makes trekking in Nepal a once-in-a-lifetime experience unlike anywhere else on Earth.
Getting Started
Most international travelers arrive via Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, the gateway to Nepal’s trekking adventures. Permits and official documents—such as the TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) card and conservation area permits—must be acquired in Kathmandu, either through trekking agencies (Adventure Friendship) or government offices. These documents are checked along popular trekking routes.
For those with limited time, there are also short treks and half-day hikes from Kathmandu and Pokhara that provide stunning Himalayan views without the need for extensive travel or preparation.
