Best hikes, treks, tramps in the world.
Ahmed Almaziad from Saudi Arabia started hiking 2011. And is now addicted.
I found his Mt Kilimanjaro Rongai trip report useful.
(I’ve still not climbed the highest mountain in Africa.)
Check his Corsica GR 20 2013 (north) trip report, as well.
Like me, Ahmed found the start of the GR 20 very difficult. In face he backtracked to town to lighten his pack. And start fresh the next morning.
His blog is SaudiHiker.com.
Tongariro Northern Circuit is the best hike in the best trekking region in the world — New Zealand.
How can that be?
Why do we like the circuit better than the dozens of other awesome Kiwi walks?
These videos make it clear. 🙂

If you’ve hiked the John Muir recently, check that page for accuracy. We’ve not been there since 2007. Too long.

…The video below is a full episode of that series which happens to be focused on one of my favorite places – the Himalaya. If you have 49 minutes to spare, you’ll get a great look at those mountains and the people that live there, with some of the most breathtaking scenery you’ll find anywhere. So sit back, turn up the volume and enjoy the show. It is one of the greatest on Earth.

I’m doing some research for a planned trip to the BIG mountains.
James Handlon signed on with adventure travel company Arctic Adventures to finally trek Laugavegur.
After several hours of bumpy off-roading we finally arrived late in the day at the Landmannalaugar campsite, a weird mix of surreal landscape, Glastonbury Music Festival and refugee camp all thrown together creating the most bizarre of places to start a trek .…
Gorgeous.
Read his entire trip report following the links from the bottom of THE LAUGAVEGUR ICELANDIC TREK – DAY 1 page.
It’s on our list of top 10 hikes in the World. It’s on many top 10 lists.
What’s it all about?
Discover Tasmania calls this the best Overland tramping video they’ve ever seen. Kids, rain, mud, snow … and plenty of FUN on a family adventure. 🙂
