Albanian Coastal Trail

The Albanian Coastal Trail is a rugged multi-day trek traversing the Ionian coastline of the Albanian Riviera. Bounded by the Ceraunian Mountains to the east and the Ionian Sea to the west, the route connects the high Llogara Pass to the coastal town of Himarë and beyond to Lukovë. The trail is defined by its transition from high-altitude pine forests to isolated pebble beaches (Gjipe, Grama) and ancient Orthodox villages. It operates in an underdeveloped coastal wilderness zone where significant segments lack road access, requiring self-sufficiency and navigation through dense Mediterranean maquis and karst limestone terrain.

The steps of giants. The Everest Base Camp trek is more than a hike; it is a pilgrimage to the highest point on Earth. Starting with a thrilling flight into Lukla, the trail winds through the vibrant Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar, past ancient monasteries like Tengboche, and through high-alpine landscapes dominated by often regarded as one of the most famous peaks: Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Everest itself. Reaching the base camp (5,364m) at the foot of the tumbling Khumbu Icefall is a life-changing achievement that places you at the very heart of mountaineering history.
