What is the GHT?
The Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) is a network of trails forming one of the longest, and definitely the highest continuous walking paths on earth. Stretching from Pakistan to Bhutan, the GHT promotes sustainable tourism in remote mountain regions, ensuring that the benefits of adventure reach those who live at the top of the world.
The GHT is an all volunteer project, supported by contributions and sales from the store.
The Future of The GHT
We are working on the biggest update to the GHT since inception. A massive community lead digitization project to make the trail safer, and more sustainable for all.

Routes
- GHT Alpine: A brand-new, high-altitude mountaineering line for those seeking extreme adventure.
