Sham Valley Trek (The Baby Trek)

The classic 3-day Sham Valley route is a beautiful, cultural trek often called the 'Baby Trek' because of its lower altitude, short daily distances, and absence of river crossings. It takes you through the agricultural villages of Likir, Yangthang, Hemis Shukpachan, and Temisgam, ending near the famous Alchi Monastery. This trail is less about wilderness and more about walking from village to village, sleeping in family-run homestays, and sharing tea in shaded apricot orchards.

The Three Capes Track is a 48km point-to-point trekking route within Tasman National Park, Tasmania. Starting at the Port Arthur Historic Site with a marine transfer across the bay to Denmans Cove, the route traverses the high sea cliffs of the Tasman Peninsula. The track is highly engineered, featuring wide gravel paths and boardwalks that provide safe access to vertical dolerite columns reaching 300 meters above the Southern Ocean. Management is handled by the Tasmania Parks & Wildlife Service, with a regulated north-to-south flow. The route transitions through diverse environments including coastal heathland, dry sclerophyll forest, and temperate rainforest.
