Nepal has more the treks I actually recommend than just about any country on earth, and that can make choosing where to go feel overwhelming. This page is the shortcut. Below are honest overviews of the regions and routes I know best, from the iconic Everest Base Camp trek to quieter corners like Langtang and Gokyo. Each one covers what the trek is really like, how hard it is, when to go, and who it suits. Start with whatever pulls at you, and if you are torn between a few, the quick quiz at the bottom will point you to the right fit.
