Tibet’s rugged terrain and rich spiritual heritage offer some of the world’s most unique trekking experiences. Whether you’re seeking profound pilgrimage routes or high-altitude challenges, Tibet has a trail that will inspire and test you.

Here’s our guide to the best treks to consider for 2025:

1. Mount Kailash Kora

A legendary pilgrimage trek circling the sacred Mount Kailash. This 52 km route takes 3–4 days and traverses high mountain passes over 5,600 meters. Pilgrims and trekkers alike find this journey deeply transformative.

2. Everest Base Camp (Tibet Side)

Starting from the town of Tingri, this trek offers stunning views of Everest’s north face. Less crowded than the Nepal side, it’s a challenging trek but with spectacular panoramas of the Himalayas.

3. The Druk Path

A moderate trek connecting Paro and Thimphu, known for beautiful forests, alpine lakes, and Buddhist monasteries. Though shorter and in Bhutan, it’s often included in regional Himalayan trekking overviews for comparison.

One of the world’s toughest treks, it crosses multiple 5,000+ meter passes through remote areas of western Tibet. This two-to-three-week expedition is for experienced trekkers only.

5. Nyingchi Valley Trek

Famous for its rhododendron forests and lower altitude, this trek is ideal for those who want scenic beauty without extreme altitude. Springtime here offers colorful floral displays.

6. Yangtang Trek

A remote and wild trek through the Tibetan Plateau’s high grasslands, yak pastures, and traditional nomadic villages. It offers an authentic insight into Tibetan nomadic life.
