Going Himalaya trekking in Nepal? Let's help you with a snapshot overview of what are likely the best treks in Nepal. At least, they are currently the most popular treks in Nepal, based on number of trekkers.

Every year Nepal allures +200,000 trekkers. That also entails that every year +200,000 people are encountered with the hard choice of picking which trekking destination to discover in Nepal. Let's face it – this is not an easy option.

Everest Base Camp – 12/13 days, +25,000 trekkers/year:

When it comes to Himalayan trekking in Nepal Everest is a fascinating trekking terrain! You'll stand face-to-face with the world's highest mountain – Mountain Everest (8,850 m), and witness multiple other majestic peaks. You'll also meet the Sherpa people, well-known for the climbing skills. In short, fantastic trekking experience.

Trek facts:

  • Accessible during Winter (Dec-Jan): Yes.
  • Trekking Difficulty: Level 3 – Medium difficulty
  • Best Season: March-May and October-November

Poonhill Trek – 5-7 days:

Poonhill (3,210 m) offers great views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Mountain Ranges. It's a great trek for a sneak-peak into the trekking world. Highly recommended if only a few days available for trekking in Nepal.

Trek Facts:

  • Trekking Difficulty: Level1/2 – Easy to Moderate difficulty
  • Best Season: March-May and October-November
  • Max elevation: 3,210 m, Poonhill

LangTang Trek – 7-13 days:

Mansalu Trek: 14 Days:

The Manaslu trek officially opened for trekking in the early 90s, a cutural trek par excellence, and without a doubt one of the best treks in Nepal. An appropriate name might be 'Anaslu' as this trek is likely to take over the popularity of the infamous Annapurna Circuit trek. Highly recommended!
