About Stage 2 of the Trail

Join the GHT
The GHT is not a one-off trek. We invite travellers interested in one of the world's most remote and beautiful challenges to join us every year as we operate each of the seven stages of the GHT as independent trekking stages. If you are short on time you may want to choose one or more of the stages with the eventual goal of completing the entire GHT over a period of years.
If you've been on a trek to a remote wilderness, you'll likely appreciate the people and cultures you encounter along the way. World Expeditions' Great Himalaya Trail treks were founded on our commitment to bringing the benefits of responsible tourism to remote communities and reflect our enduring philosophy of exploring paths less travelled.
We hope you'll enjoy reading the GHT blog. Here you can see and hear from our trekkers who are currently on the trail. If you feel inspired, visit the Great Himalaya Trail section of the World Expeditions website to plan your involvement in the GHT.
