One way to increase the challenging nature of your trek is to increase your altitude. The landscape and wildlife change, as does the amount of oxygen you breathe with every step. We have a great selection of holdiays that will take you to a new height. Here’s just some of our favourites:

Classic Himalayan Trekking
All of our treks in Nepal journey above 2500m – let’s face it, that’s the reason why you’ve come to this incredible mountain region. We’ve put together a handy infographic on our blog to help you decide which is best for you – whether you want to make it to Everest Base Camp or watch the sunrise at the summit of Poon Hill.
Hit the Peaks of the Balkans
Although just one of the peaks and ridges you’ll reach, a highlight of the Peaks of the Balkans is sure to be Mount Korab (2756m).
Go Beyond the Silk Road
On this holiday you’ll find yourself climbing in the Gehama Mountains (between 2500m-3500m) which are in fact, large extinct cone-shaped volcanoes and craters. Keep your eyes peeled for golden and white tailed eagles, then move on to Armenia’s highest mountain, Aragats (south summit is 3900m).
Make your way to Machu Picchu
Hike a lesser-known trail - the Ancascocha Trek - to the mysterious Machu Picchu.
Before you depart on a walking holiday at altitude, don’t forget to follow our tips on how to prepare for a high altitude trek.
This was just a selection of our walking itineraries reaching over 2500m. Check out more online in our Demanding and Strenuous categories.
