10 amazing adventures that will blow your mind

8. Great Himalaya Trail, Nepal

Superlative central! The Great Himalaya Trail is a network of treks and trails that 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 and incredible landscapes. October and November are the most popular months because chances are high for clear skies and great mountain views. There are a number of trails to choose from including the Annapurna Circuit (160-230km) and the Manaslu Circuit (252km). Trips can be booked from World Expeditions at around £2,300.
