The exotic landscapes, remote terrain and wonderful mountain vistas makes this tiny Himalayan country a hunting paradise. With so many incredible trails, it is sometimes very difficult to pin the right one of for you.

The term best depends on personal preference, difficulty, cost and scenery.

Here are the list of top five best long treks in Nepal:

Everest Three Pass Trek

Everest Three Pass Trek is one of the best long treks in Nepal that takes you deep into Everest region and lets you explore all the feature it holds. On this trek you will cross three high passes – Kongma La pass (5,535m/18,159ft), Cho La Pass (5,420m/17,782ft) and Renjo La Pass (5,340m/17,520ft) and explore Everest Base Camp, climb Kalapatthar and Gokyo Ri summit and admire the beauty of Gokyo Lakes. It takes roughly 18 – 20 days to complete the trek walking 7 – 9 hours a day.

Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek

Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is yet another exotic destination to enjoy the long treks in Nepal. It is one of challenging treks in Nepal which lets you explore a wild, remote and off-beaten tracks of Nepalese Himalayas. Trekkers need to physically fit and must have extreme endurance capabilities. It actually is a physical test. Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek need to done in both teahouse and camping mode; as there are no teahouses beyond the Italian Base Camp Trial. The magnificent geographical varieties, tantalizing mountain views, exotic culture and dramatic scenery will keep tempting you throughout the trial.

Manaslu Circuit Trek

Often Dubbed as the best alternative to Annapurna Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek is for those who wants an off-beat experience in remote and wild vicinity of Manaslu Himal, eight highest peak in the world. Despite the improvements of teahouse and tourism infrastructure, this region still sees very few trekkers; meaning it offers highly unexplored nature and intact culture which have been preserved for centuries. If you want long trekking trip and wish to enjoy the panorama that the 8th tallest peak holds, then Manaslu Circuit Trek is the best option for you.

Upper Dolpo Trek

Probably the best long trek in Nepal. Upper Dolpo Trek is the perfect combination of mountain vistas, diverse geography, unique culture and Tibetan-like landscapes. If you want to step on different era, where the modernity is million miles away and simplicity is still part of life, then trekking to Dolpo region is the best trekking option for you. The serenity of Dolpo region is well portrayed on Oscar Nominated Movie in foreign language category – "Caravan" and the famous book "The snow leopard".

Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek

Another famous destination for long treks in Nepal. Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek takes you to the foot of 3rd tallest peak in the world while explore the diverse geography and ethnic culture it protects. The Kanchenjunga region is considered as one of the last remaining pristine Himalayan environment in Nepal. Very few trekkers till date have made their way to the Base Camp of Kanchenjunga; so it is yet to get flourished by the impact of mass tourism.
