Highlights
Overview
If you are up for a challenge, you might want to consider the Trail Himalaya Signature Nepal Tour with Trekking, a 2500 km walk across the entire spine of the Nepal Himalaya, from Kanchenjunga in the east to Humla in the west. There are several logistical hurdles to overcome, not least coordinating a whole fistful of timed trekking permits, but at least one trekking company offers the trail as a commercial trip lasting for 157 days and costing a cool USD $40000. Several extreme athletes have completed the route in as little as 47 days.
The trail is partly a pre-existing network of trekking routes and partly a slick marketing campaign aimed at getting trekkers into regions currently not benefiting economically from tourism. Perhaps the best way to attempt the trail is to do it in segments, biting off chunks such as the Annapurna-Manaslu route or Jiri Everest section and doing it over several years.
Walking on a high route makes you feel the most remote villages on earth, where life remains as it was centuries back. Trekking along the GHT high route requires crossing high passes with altitudes up to 6,146 m and the whole trek takes about 150 days on average. camping is required for most parts of the adventure Nepal’s high route starts north of the Kanchenjunga Base Camp and ends in Hilsa at Nepal’s Tibetan border in the Western District of Humla
