Discover less-crowded trekking trails in the Manaslu, Kanchenjunga, Mustang, Dolpo, and Makalu regions of Nepal.
Nepal is world-renowned for trekking, but there’s so much more beyond the popular Everest and Annapurna regions. For travelers seeking less-commercialized, off-the-beaten-path trekking experiences, our Other Trekking Regions section opens the gateway to Nepal’s most untouched and culturally rich landscapes.
These hidden gems — Manaslu, Kanchenjunga, Mustang, Dolpo, and Makalu — are perfect for trekkers looking to escape the crowds and immerse themselves in raw nature, authentic village life, and spiritual mountain trails. From the mystical walled city of Lo Manthang in Mustang to the wild and remote Dolpo valleys, each route offers a unique perspective of the Himalayas, shaped by ancient traditions, sacred mountains, and breathtaking biodiversity.
Whether you're trekking around Mount Manaslu, hiking deep into the wilderness to Kanchenjunga Base Camp, discovering the high desert plateaus of Upper Mustang, witnessing turquoise Phoksundo Lake in Dolpo, or challenging yourself with the rugged ascent to Makalu Base Camp, these regions provide unmatched diversity and adventure.
These routes are ideal for experienced trekkers or those seeking deeper connections with nature and culture. Less explored doesn’t mean less rewarding — in fact, these alternative trekking regions in Nepal are where the true soul of the Himalayas still thrives.
