Pick the region before the trek.

Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, Manaslu, Mustang, and Dhaulagiri each ask for a different kind of trip. Some routes are about famous viewpoints. Some are about quieter valleys, restricted permits, older villages, or a stronger sense of space. LHJ starts here because the right region makes the itinerary, pace, and support level easier to choose.

Altitude first

Decide how much time you can give to acclimatization before choosing the biggest route.

Trail feel

Compare crowded classics, quieter valleys, desert routes, and longer pass crossings.

LHJ planning

We match the region to your dates, fitness, comfort level, permit needs, and guide support.
