“One day the snow-covered crown of Asia may become one of her greatest assets…”
The Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) is the longest and highest alpine walking track in the world, as it winds between the largest mountains and remotest communities on the planet. Connecting 5 Asian countries; Bhutan, China, India, Nepal and Pakistan, the GHT covers more than 4,500km from Namche Barwa in Tibet to Nanga Parbat in Pakistan.
As at July 2010, only the Bhutan and Nepal sections have been walked and mapped in thoroughly. The other countries are still being researched, so if you want to do some real exploring and become part of the GHT then contact us for ideas.
