Accommodation in Nepal

The Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) is a network of existing trails, which together form one of the longest and highest walking trails in the world. Winding beneath the world’s highest peaks and visiting some of the most remote communities on earth, it passes through lush green valleys, arid high plateaus and incredible landscapes. Nepal’s GHT has 10 sections comprising a network of upper and lower routes, each offering something different, be it adventure and exploration, authentic cultural experiences, or simply spectacular Himalayan nature. The route offers an incredible diversity in terms of landscapes, flora & fauna, people and culture: from snow social tours and social leopards to red pandas; from sub-tropical jungle to fragile high-altitude
eco-systems; from the famous Sherpas, to Shamanism, to the ancient Bön Buddhist culture of Humla. There are many more places to visit in Nepal that just Annapurna, Everest or Langtang, beautiful as they are. Discover Nepal through The Great Himalayan Trail!
