I’m impressed.
wikiexplora has the best TOP 10 and TOP 50 treks list I’ve seen online, aside from our own. 🙂
1 Chile Torres del Paine Trek, Patagonia Spanish | English
2 Perú Inca Trail
3 Tanzania Mt. Kilimanjaro
4 France-Italy-Switzerland Haute Route
5 Nepal Everest Base Camp
6 New Zealand Routeburn track, Fiordland-Mount Aspiring Nationals Parks, South Island
7 Pakistan Snow Lake/Biafo-Hispar/Lupke La Region
8 Pakistan Baltoro glacier / Concordia
8 India Zanskar river, Ladakh
10 USA Kaibab trail, Grand Canyon (Rim-to-Rim), Arizona
(Disclaimer… Inca Trail doesn’t deserve to be in the top 50, the most overrated walk in the world.)
That list was arrived at via recommendation of these 9 guidebooks:
Book 1: A Journey along the World’s Great Treks by Jeff Salvage and Kirk Markus
Book 2: Classic Hikes of the World: 23 Breathtaking Treks by Peter Potterfield
Book 3: Top Treks of the World by Steve Razzetti
Book 4: The World’s Great Adventure Treks by Jack Jackson
Book 5: Outside Adventure Travel: Trekking by Outside Magazine
Book 6: Ultimate Adventures a Rough guide to Adventure Travel by The Rough Guides
Book 7: A Year of Adventures by Andrew Bain
Book 8: Lonely Plante’s 1000 Ultimate Experiences by Lonely Planet
Book 9: Classic Treks, The Most Spectacular Hikes in the World by Bill Birkett
wikiexplora.com is mostly in Spanish, but the treks list is in English.
I’ve added a permanent link in the right hand navigation. It’s a fantastic resource for hikers.
