Here are some of the best ones across the world.
The Great Himalaya Trail, Nepal
Sapping across the entirety of the Himalayas, this trek is not for the faint-hearted. This route totals over 1000 miles, but many people choose to do specific sections only. Either way, you’ll be rewarded with the most unbelievable views of the Himalayas and the surrounding landscapes, as well as passing through fascinating ancient towns and historical sites.
Tokai Nature Trail, Japan
This fantastic route takes you from Tokyo to Osaka in just over 650 miles. You’ll pass through a huge range of Japan’s scenery, much of which is often missed by tourists and travelers. The route takes you through various mountain ranges and gets you up and close to the iconic Mount Fuji, as well as through some exciting cities such as Kyoto.
The West Highlands Way, Scotland
Scotland features some breathtaking landscapes, and this route showcases some of the most incredible areas. Scotland is amazing in the fact that wild camping is permitted and a popular choice for many, so this trek can be done very independently and for little cost. Starting in Glasgow and ending at Fort William, at just under 100 miles this hike is pretty accessible.
