Want to go on a trek in Nepal? Here we have come up with the best trek picks from thousands of trekking enthusiasts! At the very least, they are the most popular trek in Nepal at the moment, depending on the number of trekkers.

Nepal attracts around 200,000 trekkers each year. That implies that over 200,000 travelers must make the difficult decision of which trekking destination in Nepal to visit every year. Let's face it: this isn't a simple decision.

It's a bit strange deciding which trek option would be the best for you in a foreign country from your home country! Well, it is better to be prepared first-hand with your options than to get confused with the penultimate of options handed to you! Well, even if you trek via a tour operator, a bit of information from your end will make you look prepared!

In the worst-case scenario, some of the pieces of advice tour operators offer may be motivated more by profit than anything else. In the best-case scenario, you'll get sound guidance from a variety of reputable trekking agencies in Kathmandu. After all, which trek in Nepal is the best one?

While some may assume there is a definitive answer to that question, it all boils down to your personal trekking preferences. Let us illustrate a few important aspects of trekking that you should think about before deciding on THE BEST TREK IN NEPAL for you:

  • How difficult do you want the trekking to be?
  • How many days have you allocated for trekking?
  • Do you want a mainstream touristic trekking route or off-the-beaten more adventurous trails?
  • Do you consider budget or money is not the point?
  • Which season do you prefer?
  • Do you want a remote destination with extremely challenging routes?
  • Are you a lone trekker or do you consider to trek in groups?

Here, we have come up with the list of best trekking options for you which are based on the personal preferences of thousands of clients we have had over the last two decades!

Exotic fauna, diverse Himalayan foliage, glistening rivers, and breathtaking vistas of the soaring mountains make this a real-life movie that should not be missed!

Namche Bazaar, the pride of the Khumbu Region, serves as the entry point for climbers aiming to conquer the world's tallest peak. Many people seek out the EBC trek for a variety of reasons. It is unquestionably lovely, but it also offers its visitors a variety of challenges in exchange for rewarding views!

It connects the region's two most popular trekking valleys: the one with Everest Base Camp and the one with Gokyo. A trek through Cho La to Gokyo is probably your best bet if you want to extend your journey to Everest Base Camp (besides hiking over Everest and into Tibet).

This journey encompasses the entire Everest region and offers one of the best adventure experiences in the Nepalese Himalayas.

The Everest high passes trail follows the conventional Everest base camp trekking trails until Dingboche village, then it breaks right and heads to Chhukung via Imja valley. This trek can also be done in the reverse direction. However, going in the opposite direction will be easier and require less climbing! You can look at some maps!

The 22-days high pass trek is fairly new, thus, finding a trail can be tricky. So, hiring a guide who is familiar with the trial is strongly recommended. The other high passes treks only have one pass apiece, but this journey requires you to cross three. Of course, crossing via three major passes is more daring than passing through only one.

The tourism hub for the Annapurna Circuit and Tilicho Lake Trek is Manang village.

Many ancient monasteries or gompas dating back to the 15th century reminisce the memories of the past!

Upper Mustang is a culturally and geopolitically sensitive region that was only opened to trekking in 1992. The region's culture and geography are similar to Tibet's. The region has been able to preserve its centuries-old culture and landscape due to its seclusion from the rest of the globe. Many trekkers throng Mustang because the 16th- century Buddhist monasteries and caverns cut onto sheer mountain faces. Mustang features a spectacular semi-arid desert landscape with deep ravines and rock shelves, all framed by snow-capped peaks. Mustang is a hidden paradise in Nepal, nestled behind the gorgeous Himalayan hills.
