Going Global: The World's Most Iconic Hikes

Boundless Journeys specializes in crafting memorable journeys for adventurers. For those who appreciate the beauty of nature and the joy of discovery, certain hikes stand out as timeless experiences. Here is a selection of three iconic hikes that every explorer should embrace.

While this is just a glimpse into the world’s most remarkable hiking opportunities, these journeys are sure to get you started and inspired for more adventures.

Tour Du Mont Blanc

A thrilling hiking circuit around Mont Blanc, Western Europe’s highest mountain. It combines the perfect mix of awe-inspiring mountain views and the vibrant influence of three distinct European countries—France, Italy, and Switzerland. The hiking route leads us between small Alpine villages, over mountainous passes, and along ancient glaciers as we travel through the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps. Cultural delights range from the French resort town of Chamonix, to the medieval city of Courmayeur, Italy, to quaint Alpine villages in Switzerland where you’ll enjoy delicious and hearty meals of local specialties.

Himalayas

An awe-inspiring adventure that combines Bhutan with a five-day trek through the foothills of the Annapurna Mountains of Nepal. While in Bhutan, you’ll explore the monasteries and fortresses of this ancient kingdom and discover the unique Bhutanese culture. In Nepal, jaw-dropping mountain scenery, terraced hillsides, beautiful forests, and friendly villagers greet you on its cultural trek. Take a flight across the Himalayan range, passing the world’s tallest peaks, including Mount Everest. Experience the best of two complementary worlds.

New Zealand South Island

The South Island of New Zealand has long been held sacred by nature lovers for its soaring alps, sweeping green valleys split by coursing rivers, pristine glacial-fed lakes, and incredible coastal beauty. Boundless Journeys has carefully crafted a hiking itinerary into the heart of it all, so you can connect to both the grandest vistas and the tiniest trailside details.

The locals call it “tramping”; we simply call it awe-inspiring, as we follow mountain-ringed footpaths, seaside walkways, and rainforest routes from east to west. For more selections, visit www.boundlessjourneys.com/
