What is the longest trek in the Himalayas?

The Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) is widely considered the longest trekking route in the Himalayas. It spans approximately 1,700 kilometers (1,056 miles) along the entire length of the Himalayan range, from the eastern border of Nepal with India to the western border with Tibet (China). The trail passes through diverse landscapes, including lush forests, high-altitude passes, remote mountain villages, and pristine valleys.

The Great Himalaya Trail is not a single established route but rather a network of existing trails and routes that link various regions across the Himalayas. It offers trekkers the opportunity to experience the incredible natural and cultural diversity of the Himalayan region while challenging themselves with long-distance trekking.

Trekking the entire Great Himalaya Trail typically takes several months, and it requires careful planning, physical fitness, and trekking experience due to the challenging terrain and high-altitude conditions. Many trekkers opt to complete sections of the trail rather than the entire route.
