Most travellers drive straight to Lo Manthang and never stop here.

There’s a trail near Dhakmar in Upper Mustang that barely anyone takes. No jeep queue. No crowd at a viewpoint. Just a wooden bridge over a river that sounds like it’s been running since before anyone thought to name it.

I stood there for ten minutes doing absolutely nothing. Wind. Water. Birds I couldn’t see. Red canyon walls on both sides. And the slow, heavy realisation that this is what luxury actually feels like not a thread count, not a rooftop pool. Just a place that belongs to itself, and for a few minutes, you’re allowed to be in it.

Upper Mustang has hidden trails like this all over its quieter side. You just have to be willing to take the longer way.

If this is the kind of travel that makes sense to you, talk to us.

There’s no road to Dhaulagiri. There’s no supply track, nothing that rolls.

Between Japanese Base Camp and the ice above it, every tent, every stove, every sack of rice and every kilo of climbing gear moves the same way it has always moved — on a doko, on someone’s back, over glacier.

Watch his feet. Not his load. That’s where the skill is. He’s reading ice that most trekkers cross roped up and staring at their boots, choosing every placement, and making it look ordinary. It isn’t.

In 1960, a Swiss team tried to solve this problem with an aeroplane. It’s still up there in the ice. This is the method that actually works, and it hasn’t changed.

Who do you think should get named when an expedition succeeds?

There is a 1960s aeroplane frozen inside this mountain.

Not a helicopter. A fixed-wing Swiss Pilatus, nicknamed the Yeti, flown by a 23-year-old pilot named Ernst Saxer. It landed on Dhaulagiri’s Northeast Col at 5,700m — a record for a fixed-wing landing that the histories say has never been beaten.

On 5 May 1960, during a takeoff from Dhampus Pass in deep snow, the control joystick came off in his hands. The plane was finished. The crew survived.

The wreck is still at 5,200m.

Eight days after it crashed, the expedition it had supplied put six men on the summit the first ascent of Dhaulagiri, no supplemental oxygen.

The Dudh Koshi runs cold and loud beside the trail. The wind stays soft. The sun holds its warmth on your back. And somewhere between one footstep and the next, you stop noticing the distance because the mountain doesn’t feel like a destination anymore. It feels like a presence.

This is what a good day in the Khumbu looks like. Not the summit. Not the base camp. Just the walk in between.
Ama Dablam. 6,812 meters. The Mother’s Necklace of the Sherpa people. Two thousand meters shorter than Everest and somehow the mountain everyone remembers.

If you’re planning the EBC trek for 2026 spring or autumn, this is the section that will stay with you.

The sun's gone. The cold's arrived. And Machhapuchhre is still right there — clear as anything.

Above the teahouse at the top of Mohare Danda, flags from all over the world move in the evening wind. Each one left behind by a traveller who sat here first.

Find your country's flag in the video. Drop it below. 🇳🇵

The Everest Base Camp alternative route — same Base Camp, completely different trek.

Everyone flies into Lukla and crosses the Hillary Bridge. From Namche Bazaar, most trekkers head straight up the main trail. This one goes the other way.

Breakfast at the Hotel Everest View at 3,880m — walked up, not flown in. Then two days north to the Gokyo Lakes at 4,750m, with Everest sitting right there and almost nobody else on the trail.

From Gokyo you cross Cho La Pass at 5,420m and rejoin the main route for Everest Base Camp. 16–18 days instead of 14. Cho La is a serious pass — ice, altitude, long day — so it’s not the soft option. It’s the better one.

Days 1–8 here. Would you take this route, or stick to the classic trail?

Machhapuchhre Model Trek doesn't get talked about much next to Annapurna Base Camp, which suits the people who walk it.

A few days through Tamang and Gurung villages, farmland, forest, and then evenings like this one from the ridge at Korchon.

No queue at the viewpoint. Usually no one at all.

Bungaa, in the Annapurna foothills. Terraces, buffalo, a kitchen with a fire going in it. The last place on the way up where somebody cooks your dinner and asks where you’re from.

Mardi means spine. This is the bottom of it.

From here the ridge runs unbroken for about 20 kilometres and finishes at a summit at 5,587 metres. Same ridge the whole way. One end has rice growing on it and the other end has a glacier.

People book the mountain. They remember the village.

Every trek we run starts somewhere like this.

The weather that hides the mountain also feeds it.

People come in monsoon and spend the whole trek apologising for their own trip. Cloud all afternoon, no summit, wet boots. They post the two clear minutes they got and skip the rest.

But the rest is the point.

This cloud comes up the valley every day and it’s the reason there’s moss on every rock, water in every gully and wildflowers all the way to the last camp. Take the cloud away and the green goes with it.

The view you came for and the view you’re standing in are made by the same thing.

📍 Machhapuchhre Base Camp east Annapurna region, Nepal

Eight days east of everything, the trail opens onto water that hasn’t been touched all morning.

Kumbhakarna stands there twice. Once in stone, once in something that will disappear the second the wind picks up.

Nobody talks for a while. There isn’t a version of this you can bring home.
