The trail is good at any time of year and is designated as a 'Great Walk' by the New Zealand Department of Conservation, with four maintained shelters along the way.
El Camino de Santiago (Spain)
El Camino de Santiago, often known as the Way of St. James in English, has been a pilgrimage route in Spain since the 9th century. The walk, which is considered a rite of passage for serious trekkers, includes a network of pilgrims' paths going to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great, which is located at the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. Many people take the road as a spiritual path, but it is also well-known among hikers and cyclists for its journey through villages, monasteries, and vineyards, as well as its spectacular vistas of the Pyrenees.
The Zanskar Gorge (India)
The track, which is best experienced in January and February when conditions are at their coldest, takes you walking in between cliff sides that are practically vertical and over 600 metres high in parts. The journey takes around six days and connects the settlements of the Zanskar Valley with Chilling, a hamlet on the way to Ladakh. Temperatures at night drop to roughly -25°C, making it not for the faint of heart.
