Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) Trekking 2026
The Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) is one of the longest and most challenging trekking routes in the world. It stretches over 1450 kilometers along the entire length of the Himalayan range in Nepal. One of the stages of the GHT leads from Ghunsa to Hilsa, offering breathtaking landscapes and unique cultural experiences. The stage begins in Ghunsa, a remote village in the Kanchenjunga region in eastern Nepal. From there, the path leads through dense forests, over high passes, and past picturesque villages. The route offers spectacular views of the snowcovered peaks of the Kanchenjunga massif, including the world's third-highest mountain, Kanchenjunga. Along the way, there are opportunities to see all of Nepal's eight-thousanders. From east to west: Kanchenjunga at 8,586 meters above sea level, Makalu at 8,485 meters, Lhotse at 8,516 meters, Everest at 8,848 meters, Cho Oyu at 8,188 meters, Manaslu at 8,163 meters, Annapurna I at 8,091 meters, and Dhaulagiri at 8,167 meters. The trail continues through the remote valley of the Tamur River and eventually reaches the Dolpo region. Dolpo is known for its pristine nature and unique culture. One passes picturesque villages like Phoksundo and Shey Gompa and has an opportunity to learn about the traditional way of life of the Dolpo communities. The GHT is a demanding route that requires good physical condition and experience in trekking. However, it is a rewarding experience for adventurers who want to experience the untouched beauty of nature and the cultural diversity of Nepal. The highest point of the trek is at 5,755 meters above sea level, and numerous valleys are crossed. The duration of the trek is 111 days. There is the possibility to participate in individual stages. The trekking route consists of a total of 8 stages, where anyone can join the group as well as leave the group again.
