trekking route
Long-distance walking course
A trekking route is an established path for long-distance hiking, typically through wilderness or mountainous terrain.
Unlike casual trails, trekking routes often span multiple days and may include marked waypoints, campsites, or lodges: The Annapurna Circuit is one of Nepal's most famous trekking routes.
Some routes follow ancient trade or pilgrimage paths.
