The most beautiful treks in the world
The most amazing marches on this planet
In this overview, selected treks that have a duration of at least a week are selected. All of them have breathtaking views, monumental mountains, wild glaciers and deep canyons.
Gondogoro Trek
Trek into the heart of Karakoram
One of the most impressive mountain areas of the world lies on both sides of Baltoro glacier. Mountain range Karakoram is dominated here with the ridge Baltoro Muztag with the second highest mountain in the world – K2 (8,611 m asl). And right here leads Gondogoro trek (sometimes called Baltoro trek, K2 trek or Concordia trek). The starting point to the entire area is the provincial town of Skardu reachable not only by bus along Karakorum highway, but also by air from Islamabad. From there it is only a few hours away by jeep to the beginning or end of trek in Askole, or rather in Hushe. Unlike the „competitive“ area around Everest, which sometimes looks like a recreation place for retirees and where mass tourism abounds at every turn, it still has a nice expedition atmosphere here. The trip to Pakistan is worth even just because of the area around Baltoro glacier. From Askole it takes at least five days before arriving at fabulous place Concordia that is surrounded by lots of beautiful mountains and the best view of K2. continue reading

Trek over three passes (Renjo la, Cho la and Kongma la) leads you through more challenging, but very beautiful and far less crowded parts of Khumbu region. Also here is your destination Everest BC and the most beautiful mountain outlook point in the world Kala Patthar.

Trek around Annapurnas
The most colorful trek in Nepal
If you want to see virtually all types of landscape in Nepal during one long walk, there is no other choice but to walk a nice trek around the ridge of Annapurnas. Picturesque canyon of river Marsyangdi with many waterfalls, amazing terraced systems of rice fields, glaciated giants of three eight thousand high massifs, almost moonscape of Tibet, the deepest valley in the world Kali Gandaki, rhododendron misty forests, typical villages – all this can be seen here. In addition, in the high season is very stable weather. What else to wish then to walk in beautiful landscape with the sun over your head. continue reading
Alpamayo BC Trek
Below one of the most beautiful mountain
Alpamayo BC Trek belongs among one of the most amazing treks in Peru. In addition, most of its route leads through uninhabited landscape, co you can enjoy a bit of adventure and romance along the way. On the other hand, you will have to rely on yourselves, because any possible help may be very far away. Along the way you will see a lot of beautiful mountains, including Alpamayo, considered as one of the most beautiful mountains in the world ever. continue reading
Trek through Mugu Himal to Dolpa
Or how to walk 333km in 23 days and climb 25km
We went on a trek in November 2015, after a devastating earthquake. The route led through MUGU HIMAL, around Lake RARA, to the kingdom of DOLPO, a visit to SHEY GOMPY, around Crystal Mountain and back around Lake PHOKSUNDO. A total of 333 kilometers, a total elevation gain of 25 kilometers in 23 days. There were eight of us trekkers, 10 Nepalese porters, a guide and a cook. Our group carried everything with them, from tents, stoves, fuel and especially food. The trek began with a domestic flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgnj and the following day a flight to Jumla. continue reading
Manaslu Circuit trek + Tsum Valley
19-day trek around Manasl
From all the beautiful treks in Nepal, we chose the circuit around Manaslu 8 163m (Ghost Mountains and the eighth highest mountain in the world), which lies in a less visited tourist area, until recently banned border area with Tibet. The road is geographically beautiful and culturally fascinating. The inhabitants of the upper Buri Gandaki are direct descendants of Tibetan immigrants who settled here in the early 17th century. Thanks to that, the language, clothes and customs are exclusively Tibetan. The pearl of the trek is a five-day visit to Tsum Valley – a valley opened since 2010. We went to the trek at the end of October to mid-November and the weather was absolutely luxurious. continue reading
Trek in Upper Mustang
Forbidden kingdom
Trek in Upper Mustang takes you into the landscape of the upland plateau at an altitude of over 3,000 meters above sea level. The entire area had until recently a partial autonomy, which was canceled in 2008. But the access is still regulated by the need to obtain (and pay for) the entry permit and have the Nepalese guide. Upper Mustang is located around the river Kali Gandaki. On its banks are even today many wonderful fossils of plants and animals. The views of Himalayan peaks dominated with the ridge of Annapurnas and Dhaulagiri will accompany you throughout the entire trek. And Buddhist monasteries and buildings give the whole journey a pleasant spiritual dimension. continue reading
Markha trek
The most typical trek in Ladakh
There is perhaps no more traditional trek in Ladakh than walk through Markha valley, during which you will see in just one week nearly all types of landscapes that are offered by Ladakh. Markha river flows parallel with Indus, from which it is separated by the ridge of Stok mountain range. To the south are Zanskar mountains with massive peak of Kang Yatse. On the trek you will experience not only crossing of the five thousand high pass, but also several fordings of the river continue reading
