Craving something a bit on the ambitious side? Look no further than the Annapurna Circuit! This legendary trek winds through the heart of the Himalayas, offering breathtaking views of snowcapped peaks and lush valleys. The lengthy distances and the elevation gains make for a demanding trip, but thankfully there’s a well-established network of teahouses that provide food and lodging when it’s time to recharge.
3. West Highland Way, Scotland
The most well-known long-distance trail in Scotland, the West Highland Way covers nearly 100 miles (160 km) and leads hikers past serene lochs, open moorlands, and dramatic mountain backdrops. The path itself is clear and well-worn, making it a breeze to navigate. There are quaint Bed&Breakfasts as well as backpack hostels in the towns and villages along the path, and if you’re not up for walking the entire length of the journey, public transportation is very accessible.
