Short Treks
A short trek is a great way to get into the mountains in 2 – 8 days, without committing the time or effort to get over high passes or into high altitude.
Short treks range from easy but that’s “Himalayan” easy so do expect some challenges along the way). They have short daily walking hours with plenty of time to recover or explore the villages in the afternoons.
And there are the more strenuous treks – they have some bigger ups and downs to conquer and longer daily walking hours if you’re up for more of a challenge or are an experienced trekker.
Whether you want to be off the beaten path, or would like to explore one of the classic routes, the one thing in common with our short treks is that they’re all beautiful!

I just finished my second trip with Himalayan Trails, and it was just as epic as the first in 2019. Across both trips (first trekking in Solukhumbu, and then motorbiking to Mustang this time), the itinerary, the food+ activities, the scenery and the crew have been fantastic. The company is ethical, sustainable, knowledgeable and fun, and the crew mirror this. We went as a family group of 12, crossing 3 generations, and both times they worked with us to make sure everyone had a great experience, including our 70+ yr old 'Umma'. A huge thank you for 2 'trips of a lifetime' 🙏

Perfectly crafted custom MTB trip in the Annapurna region. Our guide, Suman was truly incredible and made our trip 100% Type 1 fun with just the right mix of adventure and luxury. This company goes above and beyond to support sustainable tourism and perfects the combination of cultural experiences with hardcore adventuring. Already looking forward to my next adventure!
