what a fascinating site – and great that someone has time to write it all down and create a book!! i walked across in 2007 with my friend/porter/guide – sonam sherpa, from bhotebas in sankwa sabha. we took 75 days and raised almost £30,000 for the britain nepal medical trust – it was a brilliant trip. obviously there is no single route – but the places visited create future trekking ideas and routes in ever more wild and remote places. i look enviously at your photos and wish i was out there now! this year sonam and i were up in the jalejale himal between northern sankwa sabha and olangchung gola – caught in blizzard conditions we were unable to make our final pass – but returned down the thudum khola into the arun valley… maintaining flexibility is the secret to a successful trek! gillian holdsworth 15/12/10

Thanks for pointing out Max – we put that in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Himalaya_Trail this page but haven’t managed to add it to this page yet.

There is also this from circa 1990:

“Two men’s successful attempt to run the 2000-mile length of the Himalayas in less than 100 days. They ran from Darjeeling in India, through the ancient kingdom of Nepal back into India to finish in Gulmarg. Their route traversed fourteen of the highest mountains in the world and passed through areas which could have erupted into civil war at any moment. Their objective – to run, without any back-up support, almost a marathon every day.”

There’s also two french guys, Alexandre Poussin and Sylvain Tesson who made a great part of the trail, walking (only cutted between rolwaling and manaslu), beginning from bhutan and arriving in tadjikistan…

there’s a book of their trip “la marche dans le ciel: 5000 km a pied a travers l’himalaya”
