Explore Far-Western treks4 trekking areas to explore
Follow stone paths through Sherpa villages, past prayer wheels and hillside monasteries. Above it all, Everest and Ama Dablam rise into an impossibly wide sky.
From green foothills to the high lakes of Annapurna and the ochre landscapes of Mustang, discover a region shaped by remarkable contrasts and living traditions.
Walk through forested river valleys and mountain settlements toward the open landscapes of Larkya La. In Tsum Valley, the journey slows around monasteries and village life.
Venture into the open spaces of western Nepal. The blue waters of Phoksundo, old monasteries and far-reaching mountain trails reward a slower, more considered journey.
