The famous trail winds through the world’s largest mountains and remotest communities and five Asian countries (Bhutan, China, India, Nepal and Pakistan). It covers more than 4,500km, from Namche Barwa in Tibet to Nanga Parbat in Pakistan.
Only the Nepal section (1,700km) is available to traverse since it has been walked and mapped thoroughly. During the Nepal section, all the country’s 8,000m peaks can be viewed along the legendary mountain trail.
