The Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) is one of the world's longest and highest trekking routes. It runs below the tallest mountains on Earth and takes you through remote villages, green valleys, dry high plains, and stunning landscapes. In Nepal, the GHT stretches from Taplejung in the east to Humla and Darchula in the west.
