The Great HimalayanTrail
The Great Himalaya Trail is a network of existing treks and trails which together form one of the longest and highest walking trails in the world. Winding beneath the world's highest peaks and visiting some of the most remote communities on earth, it passes through lush green valleys, arid high plateaus and incredible landscapes. Nepal's Great Himalayan Trail has 10 sections comprising a network of upper and lower routes, each offering you something different, be it adventure and exploration, authentic cultural experiences, or simply spectacular Himalayan nature. The 1,700 km Nepal section of the trail begins near Kanchenjunga on the eastern border and heads west navigating the domains of eight of the world's 8000m peaks, from the beautiful but lesser-known Makalu to the famous Everest. It is not the easiest nor most direct route across Nepal, rather a route through the Greater Himalaya. The Nepal section ends in Humla on the Tibetan border. The route offers an incredible diversity in terms of landscapes, flora & fauna, people and culture: from snow leopards to red pandas; from sub-tropical jungle to fragile high-altitude eco-systems; from the famous Sherpas, to Shamanism, to the ancient Bön Buddhist culture found still in Dolpa.

Posted by rudolf | February 10, 2012, 12:30 pmDear Simone and Denis,
I have been watching your progress from the begining. I have sent my wishes after your press conference with Messner. To be honest, I was worry about your safe on Kinshofer route without the fixed rope. I remember this “path” because today is 15th anniversary of my summit attack. The next days we were able to reach the foot of Diamir Face. I can not imagine doing it without fixed ropes.
You have not good time during the expedition, especially you have lost your friends…
The Nanga Parbat gave us the respect lesson too. We have lost the higher camps three times,… my partner and me got frostbites.
Good luck on your new route! Be carefull. I hope you will do IT!
