How to read these maps
Every itinerary on this site has its own dedicated map, drag to pan and scroll to zoom, paired with an elevation chart for that specific route.
Markers mark overnight stops
Each marker on the route map is a real village where that itinerary spends the night, plotted at its actual GPS coordinates. The larger gold marker is the trek's final destination.
The line traces the trail
The route line connects overnight stops in the order the itinerary walks them. It approximates the trail's direction rather than tracing every switchback, since the actual footpath twists far more than a straight line between villages.
The elevation chart shows daily altitude change
Below each route map, a separate chart plots elevation in metres against each day of the itinerary, making the acclimatisation schedule (and any unusually long climbing or descending day) visible at a glance.
Switch between street, satellite, and terrain
Use the layers control in the top-right corner of each map to switch the base view: OpenStreetMap for village names and trails, Esri satellite imagery for real terrain photos, or OpenTopoMap for contour lines and topographic detail.
Why altitude matters more than distance
Every itinerary that reaches Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) or Kala Patthar (5,644 m) climbs well above the altitude where acute mountain sickness becomes a real risk. The golden rule is no more than 300-500 m of net elevation gain per day above 3,000 m, which is exactly what each itinerary’s elevation chart lets you check before you book. Read the full altitude sickness guide for prevention and the Lake Louise self-assessment score.
