Georgina Lawrence March 10, 2016 Take an alphabetical journey through the world on two feet, covering some of the finest, most famous, and underrated trekking locations our planet has to offer. Want to know more? Check out our handy Walking & Trekking Guides, designed to give you all the information you'll need! A - The Amalfi Coast The Amalfi Coast Spectacular walks through lemon groves, beech woods and along one of the most beautiful coastal paths in the world… the Amalfi Coast is the perfect Italian escape! B - Bromo Mount Bromo From the surreal sea sands at the base, to the gaping, smouldering chasm of the crater, the mist-shrouded cone of Mount Bromo in Java is one of the most eerie volcanic treks you can undertake. C - The Camino de Santiago Walking the Camino de Santiago It could be the world’s oldest trekking route. The historic Camino de Santiago is an ancient pilgrimage route traversing northern Spain’s rolling golden fields and sunburnt monasteries. D - Dolomites Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Sexten Dolomites The unmistakable Tre Cime di Lavaredo might be the most recognisable silhouette in all of Europe, but the Dolomites have no shortage of jagged, white limestone spires overlooking green valleys. E - Everest Basecamp At Everest Basecamp The highest mountain on earth, Everest is the definitive base camp trek. Pass between the gargantuan icy peaks, visit colourful Buddhist monasteries and conquer this iconic trek. F - Mount Fuji Mount Fuji Perfectly symmetrical Mount Fuji is the textbook volcano. What makes it special is the shrines and temples studding the trail, the magnificent sunrise, and the relaxing onsens (hot springs) after. G - GR20 GR20 climb Notoriously vertigo-inducing, “Europe’s toughest trek” is starkly beautiful. Endurance and stamina are needed to secure the rewards on the GR20: horizon spanning vistas, sparkling lakes and dramatic rock faces. H - Himalaya Gokyo lake The Himalaya is on every trekkers bucket list, and there’s a good reason why: towering spires of snow and rock standing sentinel over azure lakes, prayer flags fluttering on the wind, and almost endless trails. I - Inca Trail The Inca Trail Walk in the footsteps of history on the Inca Trail, past ancient ruins and through atmospheric cloud forests in the towering Andes, to arrive triumphant at magnificent Machu Picchu. J - Jotunheimen National Park Hiker, Jotunheim National Park “The Home of the Giants” is a walker’s wonderland, carved by glacial arms. Expect lush greenery, multi-coloured lakes and a healthy dose of dramatic views over the gleaming fjords of Norway. K - Kilimanjaro Summit shot on Kilimanjaro Kilimanjaro: a trekking giant in more ways than one. It’s an enigmatic and evocative summit, a solitary volcanic peak unlike anywhere else on Earth. L - Ladakh Verdant valley below Stok Kangri The lesser-known Indian Himalaya is a must for the off the beaten track trekking aficionado. Vast, echoing plains are surrounded by jagged multi-coloured mountains and steep, sparse passes. M - Mont Blanc Circuit Brevent The Tour du Mont Blanc began with the Victorian explorers, in search of geological secrets. Now the route, which traverses six high passes and seven fertile valleys, is world-renowned for its beauty. N - Nanda Devi View of Nanda Devi Nanda Devi is a hidden gem, a beautiful mountain surrounded by acres of alpine meadows, mammoth ice-covered ridges, and the spectacular Milam Glacier – a remote and rewarding hike. O - Oman's Grand Canyon Grand Canyon 'Balcony Walk' This little known balcony trek is one of the greatest secrets of the trekking world. Get off the beaten path and delve into Oman's dramatic wadis and narrow gorges, then head for the open air as you trek along what's known as Oman's Grand Canyon. Truly spectacular, but you don't have to share. P - Patagonia Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia Patagonia is a raw, almost empty realm of unfettered beauty. Vast rolling grasslands are interrupted by the jagged, monochrome peaks of the Andes, and the skies burn with beautiful sunsets. Q - Queyras Trekking in the Queyras A forgotten corner of the Alps, the Queyras are a wild and wildly underrated. Alpine lakes, craggy summits perfect for scrambling and long deserted ridges: a bona fide treat for any serious walker. R - Rysy Group on the summit of Mount Rysy The highest mountain in Poland is a diva: Rysy is a tough, vertiginous scramble demands you earn the dramatic 360 degree panorama of more than 100 peaks, many lakes and into neighbouring Slovakia. S - Stok Kangri Admiring the panorama from the summit of Stok Kangri This mighty 6,000m beast is a colossal achievement: a remote trek past rock cathedrals, huge valleys and the final exposed scramble up the snow-covered ridge, armed with ice axes, to the summit. Can you take on Stok Kangri? T - Toubkal Peak of Mount Toubkal Step up to the challenge: Toubkal is your perfect first time summit. Start in dusky pink Berber villages, moving steadily upwards to this usually sunny summit – a tantalising taste of trekking glory. U - Ugljesin Peak Looking out from Ugljesin Peak in Sutjeska N.P Bosnia & Herzegovina may be over-looked but certainly not overrated: craggy limestone mountains and lush valleys, and Ugljesin is the perfect vantage point to survey the encircling panorama of peaks. V - Via Ferrata Via Ferrata Hikers with a head for heights should try Via Ferrata. Think serious scrambling clipped into harnesses. Follow WWII routes across the Dolomites, tackling iron ladders and precarious bridges. W - Wall of China Great Wall at Sunset Iconic, imposing, terrifying: the Great Wall of China is a monument to man’s ingenuity and ego. Trekking here is to tread upon history, from remote ruins to where it has been restored to glory. X - Xlendi Bay Gozo coastline, Xlendi Bay in the distance Xlendi Bay is the rest stop a walker's dreams are made of: an idyllic cove hugged by rugged cliffs and the Mediterranean Sea. The picturesque village is perfect to kick back with a drink or an ice cream in the sun. Y - Yellowstone Yellowstone National Park's Grand Prismatic Spring America’s first national park, Yellowstone dazzles and surprises: geysers, Grizzlies and glaciers at every turn, and no better way to traverse its scenic splendour than on foot, away from the day tripping crowds. Z - Zugspitze Austrian landscape Germany’s highest peak, Zugspitze is a Bavarian beauty: serrated teeth biting at the sky, glaciers icing the sides, and a whole network of cable cars ideal for whisking you up to the best view points.
