Nepal is a trekkers paradise. A cultural awakening with treks passing ancient Stupas and crossing spectacular bridges adhorned with colourful flags, all the while in the shadow of the worlds highest, most spectacular mountains. While there are hundreds of valleys and regions, there are just a few that stand out as exceptional for trekking holidays in Nepal. Here is our guide to 5 of the best trekking regions.

No name captures the spirit of high-altitude trekking quite like Everest. The Khumbu region is synonymous with adventure, home to the world's highest peak and welcoming Sherpa people.

Our treks to Everest Base Camp trek follow in the footsteps of pioneers, winding through rhododendron forests, across swaying suspension bridges, and into bustling Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar. As you ascend, the landscapes grow more dramatic, with towering ice walls, ancient monasteries, and the unforgettable sight of Everest itself dominating the skyline.

The Annapurna region is a microcosm of everything trekking in Nepal has to offer: lush lowlands, alpine meadows, high mountain deserts, and soaring peaks.

The Annapurna Circuit trek is often described as one of the world's greatest walks, circling the massive Annapurna massif and crossing the thrilling Thorong La pass at 5,416m. Each day reveals a changing tapestry of landscapes and cultures, from Hindu villages in the fertile valleys to Tibetan settlements higher up.

For a shorter but equally rewarding experience, the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek leads you into the heart of the Annapurna range, culminating in the natural amphitheatre of the Annapurna Base Camp. Surrounded by towering peaks, trekkers find themselves at the centre of one of the world’s most dramatic mountain panoramas.

Less crowded than Everest or Annapurna, the Langtang Valley is a hidden jewel perfect for trekkers seeking solitude and authentic cultural encounters.

Only a day's drive from Kathmandu, Langtang feels a world away. Our treks explore a region of serene valleys, alpine meadows, and glaciated peaks. The local Tamang people, whose culture is closely tied to Tibet, offer a warm welcome to visitors.

Circling the world’s eighth-highest mountain, the Manaslu Circuit is a trekking experience for those who crave challenge and seclusion.

Compared to the Annapurna Circuit, Manaslu offers fewer trekkers, wilder trails, and a stronger sense of adventure. Our treks here pass through authentic villages inhabited by Gurung, Tibetan, and Nubri peoples, cross the dramatic Larkya La Pass at 5,106m, and reveal pristine valleys rarely touched by modernity.

For true wilderness lovers, Upper Dolpo is the ultimate trekking destination. One of Nepal’s most isolated areas, Dolpo offers raw landscapes of immense beauty: towering cliffs, crystalline lakes, barren plateaus, and ancient monasteries that seem to blend seamlessly into their surroundings.

Our treks through Dolpo are expeditionary in nature, often camping in remote areas, crossing high passes over 5,000m, and encountering nomadic communities untouched by the outside world. Highlights include Shey Gompa, a centuries-old monastery sacred to both Buddhists and followers of the ancient Bon religion, and the stunning Phoksundo Lake, whose deep turquoise waters defy imagination.
