The 5 best treks in the world

The 5 best treks in the world

• GR20, France

The 15-day (168 km, 104 m) journey through Corsica is legendary for the diversity of landscapes it traverses. There are forests, granite moonstone, wind storm craters, glacier lakes, torrents, peat bogs, maquis, snow-capped peaks, plains, and nevas. But it’s not easy: the path is rocky and sometimes steep, and includes rickety bridges and slippery rock faces - these are all part of the fun. The GR20, created in 1972, connects with Konka, just north of Puerto Vecchio.

• Inca Trail, Peru

The 33km (20 miles) ancient road to the top of Machu Picchu was buried by the Incas and brought to mainstream attention in 1911 when it was discovered by Hiram Bingham. (Not so) The 'lost city' and its counterpart were limited to 200 daily climbers in 2018. The result is a more relaxed experience for those lucky enough to be licensed, with greater protection for the archaeological site, suffering from the consequences of its popularity (and climbers should be more concerned with making sustainable choices when traveling). The road to the city in the 15th century starts from the Sacred Valley, with three highways leading up and down the hills and around the mountains. The views of the white hills and high cloud forests combine with the magic of walking from one hill to another, all growing up to the Great Crescendo in the first scene of the iconic stone settlement on a hill.

• Indian Himalayas, India

The Indian side of the world's greatest mountain population is low. So, if solitude is your thing, try traveling to Himachal Pradesh. Visitors can try climbing from Spiti to Ladakh for 24 days. This extremely remote and challenging walk follows ancient trade routes. A dark, high-altitude desert led to Rudyard Kipling saying, 'Surely the gods live here; This is not a place for men.

• Routeburn Track, New Zealand

Check out the amazing subtitles of New Zealand's South Island around this mid-day (32km, 20m) runway. At the foot of New Zealand's Southern Alps, it passes through two national parks: Fireland and Mount Aspirin. Notable events include sights at the top of Harris Saddle and Conical Hill - from there you can see the waves breaking on the shore. The main challenge for this popular increase is to find a place among the limited number of tracks allowed at any given time.

• The Haute Route, France-Switzerland

The Hot Route from Chamonix, France, through the Southern Wallis to Zermatt, Switzerland passes through the highest and most scenic country in the Alps. The summer hot root walk (which takes a different course than the famous winter ski route) takes about two weeks to complete. It mainly includes the Pass Hop model, which demands a high level of fitness, and a high-hop factor in every aspect.
