Trek the Himalaya

The Himalaya is the world’s highest mountain range, spanning an impressive 2,400km and encompassing five countries including Nepal, Bhutan, China, India and Pakistan. Many come to conquer majestic peaks and trekking circuits like the Everest Base Camp and the Nubra Valley, while others are drawn to the region because of its fascinating culture mix of Hinduism and Buddhism, where ancient monasteries, remote shrines and fluttering prayer flags, pepper each route. Whatever your reason may be to visit, a trek in the Himalaya is undoubtedly a once-in-lifetime experience.  

Home of Mount Everest, the Annapurna range, Langtang and Manaslu, Nepal is a must-do for avid trekkers looking for a challenge. With over four decades of experience in Nepal, we’ve got a wide range of Himalaya hiking tours to suit all abilities. When it comes to landscapes and terrain, you can expect to see dramatic glacier-carved valleys and snow-covered summits, but also terraced fields, deep river gorges, rhododendron forests and subtropical forests like Chitwan National Park, which hosts a variety of interesting wildlife.

The Himalayan Mountain range spans northern India and is renowned for the breathtaking peaks of Kanchenjunga and Nanda Devi. On our Himalya hiking tours, you can take on the Nubra Valley trek in Ladakh, traverse past ancient monasteries, remote villages and picturesque tea plantations on our Darjeeling, Sikkim & the Singalila Ridge route, or challenge yourself to summit Vatseri Peak (5,640m) and Mount Dzo Jongo East (6,218m). With fewer tourists on the trail and beautiful summers, the Indian Himalayas are an excellent choice. Find out more about our India walking holidays.  

Bhutan is a beautifully remote kingdom that’s often overlooked when travellers wish to trek the Himalayas. Known for its deeply rooted Buddhist culture, colourful monasteries and striking mountainside dzongs, trekking in this region is also fantastically varied, with its alpine meadows, rhododendron groves and high mountain passes. The highlight for many is reaching the breathtaking Tiger’s Nest Monastery while walking the Druk Path Trek. Taking its Gross National Happiness (GNH) and environmental conservation efforts seriously, there’s nowhere in the world quite like Bhutan. Find out more about our Bhutan walking holidays.
