The style

What to expect

A week or less is enough for the Himalaya to work on you. Routes like Poon Hill, Mardi Himal and the Langtang foothills stay mostly below 4,000 m, walk four to six hours a day, and still deliver dawn panoramas across 8,000 m giants — a full dose of the mountains in a fraction of the time.

Short does not mean lesser. These trails pass through some of Nepal's liveliest villages and finest rhododendron forest, and their gentle altitude profiles make them honest choices for new trekkers, tight schedules, or the last free week of a longer journey.

Who it’s for

Travelers short on time, walkers easing in, and anyone testing their legs before a bigger trek.
