Hi Audrey,

I realized there was a typo in my comment. The Himalayas are stunning if both India and Nepal, but the Mount Kailash Trek was in Tibet! I started posting the recap. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks, Kimberly! Nepal has been coming up quite a lot on our radar recently, so hope we have an opportunity to return sometime soon. The Himalayas – both the Nepalese and Indian side – are stunning, and full of culture and history as well.

We enjoyed our Salkantay Trek to Macchu Pichu, but the Lost City Trek in Colombia does hold a special place in our hearts. You must have had the Lost City to yourself when you were there 10 years ago.

Hope you have a chance to try the other treks soon and maybe you can convince your husband to come with you on a few of them 🙂

I did the lost city trek in Colombia 10 years ago and loved it, more so than Macchu Pichu which I did a couple of months prior to that.

The Kawlaw to Inle Lake and Xela to Lake Atitlan were on my list when I visited recently but my hubby isn’t a trekker and we were on limited time so had to settle for smaller treks! They look great though so I’ll try to return to do these by myself at some point

Hi Monika,
Here is the Peaks of the Balkans Beginner’s Guide: https://uncorneredmarket.com/peaks-of-balkans-trek-beginners-guide/

If there is anything else you’d like to know, just leave a comment there and we’ll be sure to answer it. It’s a wonderful trek, so hope you have the opportunity to go!

Hi Audrey,
Awesome list thanks for showing us a lot of alternatives to Kili, Machu Picchu, and all the big name hikes. Central Asia looks incredible and a lot of these are simply of the beaten track for travelers. These places are special in their own right and have so much to offer. It’s one one of those things though, you want to share but also want to keep the secret in haha.

We did a hike with Queztaltrekkers and loved the organization. This is gonna be copied around the world I’m sure especially with the rise of social entrepreneurship. Guatemala was incredible and we love love love Lake Atitlan (even if we didn’t do the hike).

In preparation for Kilimanjaro we hike through the Usamabara mountains just a bit east from Kili and it was beautiful. The hikes that allow you to walk through and with culture are often times over looked. We started this hike at a village and it was market day. Truly unforgettable.

There could easily be a part two on this post and we hope to hear about more of your hikes sometime soon. In the meantime keep kicking butt on the road. Thanks again for the post 🙂
