Top 10 Treks in Nepal – Our Personal Picks for 2025

Top 10 Treks in Nepal – Our Personal Picks for 2025

We’ve guided treks across Nepal for years, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that the Himalayas never offer the same journey twice. Each trail has its own soul — whether you're walking under Everest’s shadow or exploring remote mountain valleys where time seems frozen. So here’s our handpicked list of the top 10 treks in Nepal — perfect for all kinds of trekkers, from first-timers to seasoned adventurers.

1. Everest Base Camp Trek
This is the one everyone dreams of — and for good reason. When we guide treks to Everest Base Camp, we’re not just walking to 5,364 meters; we’re entering the heart of Sherpa culture, visiting sacred monasteries, and standing where mountaineering legends once stood. It’s challenging, yes, but incredibly rewarding.

2. Annapurna Circuit Trek
If variety is what you're after, this circuit has it all — waterfalls, high mountain passes, Tibetan villages, and apple orchards. We love guiding here because the landscapes change every day. Crossing Thorong La (5,416m) is a highlight for many of our trekkers.

3. Upper Mustang Trek
This is more than a trek — it’s a journey into a lost kingdom. Every time we take groups to Mustang, we feel like we’re walking through history. With its cave dwellings, wind-swept cliffs, and the walled city of Lo Manthang, Mustang is perfect for those who love culture and mystery. A special permit is required, but it’s 100% worth it.

4. Dolpo (Upper/Lower) Trek
Dolpo is one of the wildest and least-visited regions we operate in. When we trek here, we often don’t see another group for days. Shey Phoksundo Lake, yak caravans, and ancient Bonpo monasteries — it’s like stepping into a different world. We recommend this for experienced trekkers looking for solitude.

5. Manaslu Circuit Trek We personally love this one because it still feels raw and untouched. It’s got everything: mountain passes, Tibetan culture, suspension bridges, and remote villages. The views of Manaslu are just as stunning as Annapurna or Everest — but with a fraction of the crowds.

6. Langtang Valley Trek This trek is close to Kathmandu, so it’s a favorite for shorter trips. But don’t be fooled — the views of Langtang Lirung and the warm hospitality of the Tamang people make it one of our most heartwarming experiences to guide. Great for families or anyone new to high-altitude trekking.

7. Pikey Peak Trek Everest without the traffic — that’s how we describe Pikey Peak. It’s short (5–7 days) but has some of the best sunrise views we’ve seen, especially over the Everest range. Plus, it’s off the radar, so we love taking guests who want peace and authenticity.

8. Mardi Himal Trek Tucked near the Annapurna Base Camp route, Mardi Himal offers a spectacular ridge-line walk with epic views of Machapuchare (Fishtail Mountain). We often recommend it for those who want a short, scenic, and less-crowded experience. It’s one of our personal favorites for “wow factor.”

9. Tsum Valley Trek This hidden valley is a spiritual journey. Every time we lead a group here, we feel a deeper connection to the mountains and the people. The monasteries, the untouched culture, and the kindness of the locals make this a special trek that stays in your heart long after you leave.

10. Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek This one is for the bold. Remote, wild, and demanding, Kanchenjunga is a trek we only recommend to experienced hikers — but the rewards are immense. Fewer crowds, pristine landscapes, and the sense of being on the edge of the world. We love taking adventurers here who want something truly different.
