About

Find Trek is an independent online magazine about trekking in the Himalaya and across Asia: the teahouse trails of Nepal, Ladakh and Bhutan, the Karakoram, the pilgrim paths of Japan and the high pastures of Kyrgyzstan.

We are not a tour operator, a guide service or a shop. We sell no trips and no gear and take no commission from anyone we mention. What you read here comes from our own time outside, checked against park authorities, official sources and maps, and written for readers who want distances, seasons and honest advice rather than a brochure.

What we cover

Four sections organise the magazine. Nepal covers Everest Base Camp, the Annapurna Circuit and Sanctuary, Langtang, Manaslu and Gokyo. Wider Himalaya takes you to Ladakh, Bhutan, K2 Base Camp, the Valley of Flowers, Sikkim and Kailash. Asia Trails is the Kumano Kodo, the Japan Alps, Ala Kul, Yushan, Fansipan and Kinabalu. Know-How deals with altitude sickness, teahouse life, porters, packing, Lukla flights and seasons.

Our editorial approach

Every article is researched and written by the Find Trek desk. Fees, permit systems, schedules and seasons change, so we describe them in general terms and point you to the authority in charge for the current text. Altitude above 3,000 m carries real risk: nothing here replaces a slow ascent schedule, a guide who knows the valley, a forecast or your own judgement. We name no brands, accept nothing in exchange for coverage, and say so when something is a matter of opinion. Corrections are welcome and made quickly.
