Big Map of the Himalayas

Welcome to this Himalayan trekking blog, where I’ll be sharing some of my experiences trekking in the Himalayas over the last 6 years. In this first post, I'll show you some satellite image maps giving a little overview of all the great trekking places in the Himalayas. Places I’ve either been to or want to go to.

I don’t know about you, but personally, I love maps! Especially these topographical satellite maps that show the terrain from above. You can see valleys, mountain ranges, lakes, elevations, vegetation etc. Always makes me want to go grab my boots and my backpack and head out there! Now the Himalayan mountain range is a pretty big place. Certainly too big to fit into this blog! So I’ve sliced it up in three smaller parts: The Eastern, Central and Western Himalayas. Just to give you a chance to see a few details here. This is as good as it gets on a computer screen. Hopefully enough for taking the first step in deciding where you want to go trekking on your next trip! There'll be more details for you when you click on the individual regions of the map, but this will give you the big overview of the Himalayas!
