Thorsborne Trail

The Thorsborne Trail is a 32km point-to-point trekking route along the eastern coastline of Hinchinbrook Island, within Girringun National Park, Queensland. Running between Ramsay Bay in the north and George Point in the south, the trail traverses a diverse tropical landscape of mangrove systems, granite headlands, and rainforest. Hinchinbrook is an uninhabited wilderness island, accessible only by organized boat transfers from the mainland hubs of Cardwell or Lucinda. The route follows the Hinchinbrook Channel side and the open Coral Sea, passing significant features like Zoe Falls and the granite peaks of Mount Bowen.

Nepal's glacial giant. The Tsho Rolpa trek is a hidden gem located in the Rolwaling Valley, tucked between the Everest and Langtang regions. It is a journey to one of Nepal's largest glacial lakes, situated at an altitude of 4,580m. The trail is rugged and less developed, winding through traditional Sherpa villages like Simigaun and Beding, and offering spectacular views of Gauri Shankar (7,134m). Unlike the crowded trails of the Khumbu, Rolwaling offers a sense of profound isolation and a raw, uncommercialized look at Himalayan life and its fragile glacial ecosystems.
