The lower, or ‘Green Route’ of the Great Himalaya Trail in Nepal
The Great Himalaya Trail is a network of trails. There are two main routes and many alternatives connecting trails and treks. The upper GHT route passes through many established trekking areas, and some of its sections take in passes over 5000m and some over 6000m requiring some mountaineering experience.
The lower route, or the ‘Green Route’ so-called because of the green line on the as yet unpublished GHT map. And of course, as a lower route, the surroundings are generally a good deal greener.
