Best Treks in the World
One of the best ways to explore the best that nature has to offer is by walking. There is something about journeying by foot that makes the trip much more special and intimate, as if you’re brought closer to nature with every step you take. Sure, it could get pretty tiring, especially if you choose to take the more challenging paths, but those who’ve tried this are sure of one thing: it’s undeniably fun and pleasantly rewarding.
Planning on trekking this year? Here are some of the destination that we highly recommend. In no particular order, here are some of the best trekking destinations in the world. Prepare those boots and begin exercising–these places will surely give you an experience that you definitely won’t forget.
Paine Circuit (Chile)
This trekking destination in the Torres Del Paine National Park offers a breathtaking scenery of forests, granite peaks, glacial lakes, and a wide array of wildlife. If you’re looking for a place to trek in an unspoiled location, this is definitely one of your best bets.
Snowman Trek (Bhutan)
To those looking for a challenge, this is the trek that you may want to take on. Considered as one of the most challenging treks in Bhutan, the Snowman Trek that begins in Paro is something that will take you to beautiful landscapes, a unique culture, and of course—the highest spots in Bhutan.
GR20 (France)
The GR20 trek in Corsica is considered as one of the best places to trek in Europe. This trek will take around two weeks, and will be very challenging. The scenery, however, is what will make you have the most fantastic time–the French Island of Corsica offers beautiful slopes, mountain ridges, torrents, plains, and so much more.
Everest Base Camp (Nepal)
The Himalayas has always been associated with climbing, and trekking, and what better place to do this than on the base of the highest mountain on earth? This trek could take weeks, and serious preparation is needed for you to have a hassle-free trek. The scenery is just so magnificent, and perhaps if you see the magical surroundings of humble villages and smiling faces, you’d let go of any hint of exhaustion.
Tour du Mont Blanc (Alps)
This is one of the world’s most famous places for hiking and trekking, and has been a venue for adventure-seekers for hundreds of years now. You’ll be overwhelmed just by looking at the awe-inspiring views of the Alps, but wait until you get to see the real thing. This place in the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps does not only offer spectacular views–it poses challenging and rewarding walks for adventurers as well.
Routeburn Track (New Zealand)
New Zealand is no stranger to picturesque views of natural treasures, and this is a trek that will allow you to experience its mesmerizing southern Alps. This track links Mount Aspiring and the Fiordland National Park, and could take about 2-5 days.
Mt. Kilimanjaro (Tanzania)
Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is known to be the world’s tallest walkable mountain. This snow-capped summit is the highest peak in Africa, and there will be different routes to choose from, so you will not have a difficult time finding the right path for you (There’s the relatively easy routes of Marangu and Rongai, and then there’s also the more challenging paths in Machame and Shira).
