The 50 Best Hikes in the World
Himalayan treks. Rocky Mountain trails. Countryside rambles. This mammoth list of the 50 best hikes in the world has something for everyone.
Choosing the world’s best hikes was a real challenge. It would be impossible for any one person to complete every trail there is in order to select the best, so I’ve collated hikes that stand out in terms of popularity, acclaim and natural beauty.
This list features classic Himalayan greats such as Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit; revered European treks such as the Tour de Mont Blanc and the Haute Route; US National Park favourites such as Half Dome and The Enchantments, and so much more.
In no particular order, here are 50 of the best hikes in the world.
Annapurna Circuit Trek
Location: Nepal | Distance: 108 miles (205 km) | Time: 17 days
Revered as one of Nepal’s classic treks, the Annapurna Circuit traverses the awe-inspiring Annapurna mountain range over the course of about 17 days.

Trolltunga Hike
Location: Norway | Distance: 17 miles (28 km) | Time: 1 day
The impressive rock formation of Trolltunga (Troll’s Tongue) might just be one of the most iconic images of Norway’s fjord lands.

Inca Trail
Location: Peru | Distance: 26 miles (43 km) | Time: 4 – 5 days
