You don’t have to be an avid traveller to enjoy the sheer thrill of seeking an undiscovered location when you can go on a long trek, you just have to be someone who loves going on adventures and treks at gorgeously scenic locations.
So, if you were planning on going for a trek anytime soon, these eight beautiful locations should be on the top of your list:
1. Inca Trail.

No matter which season you choose to make this trek, the Inca Trail will welcome you to the coldest nights ever, so make sure you prep accordingly.
2. The Snowman Trek.
Situated in the most obscure valleys of Bhutan, The Snowman Trek initiates from Paro and is considered one of the most difficult treks in Bhutan.
If you are planning to explore this heaven, be warned that it will take you at least twenty-five days to finish the whole trek. That might sound a bit daunting at first, but the experience makes it totally worth it.
3. Kilimanjaro.
Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest peak, situated at 19,340 feet above ground level. Additionally, it is the highest free-standing mountain in the world, situated in the Northern parts of Tanzania.
Comprised of three different volcanic cones, this is certainly going to be one of the most fascinating and beautiful treks you could possibly add to your list.

5. Kalalau Trail
Located on the Hawaiian island of Kauai weaves, the Kalalu Trail runs for around 18 kilometers. It is widely known to be one of the most beautiful, and at the same time, dangerous treks one could possibly make.

6. Gomukh Tapovan
The Gomukh Tapovan trek, located in Uttaranchal, starts from River Ganga and one thing that most trekkers look forward to here is the heavenly view they get to witness.
And unlike some other treks, this one is not dangerous at all and so you could easily bring along some of your friends and family members (who’d be complete novices at trekking) with you.
7. The Markha Valley.
The Markha Valley trek takes you to the remote regions of Laddakh, a place that has been aptly described as being ‘paradise on earth’.
Your trek through Markha Valley won’t just be about the snow-covered mountains you’d be seeing as it’ll also make you witness the mesmerizing rivers that’ll be passing through while you are climbing up.
