OUR NEPAL GALLERY
At Great Goat Expeditions, our team has journeyed to the most remote corners of the Nepalese Himalayas, uncovering alternative, more scenic routes beyond the popular trekking paths. Together, we’ve traveled thousands of kilometers across Nepal, from Everest and Annapurna to Kanchenjunga, Manaslu, and Makalu. Here are some of our favorite photos from these unforgettable adventures.
KANCHENJUNGA
Nepal’s far eastern region, which borders Tibet to the north and Sikkim (India) to the south, is home to some of the most stunning and remote landscapes in the world. At the heart of this awe-inspiring area stands Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain on Earth, rising to an impressive 8,586 meters (28,169 feet) above sea level.
The Kanchenjunga range is a place of raw natural beauty, with snow-capped peaks, dense forests, and alpine meadows.

MAKALU
To the east of Khumbu lies Makalu Barun National Park, a pristine sanctuary that is home to Makalu, the fifth highest peak on Earth, standing at an impressive 8,485 meters. This remarkable park boasts the highest vertical elevation range of any protected area worldwide, with its landscape ranging from lush, tropical forests below 1,000 meters to the towering heights of Makalu itself.
Tourism in Makalu Barun is a fraction of that seen in the more frequented Khumbu region. Most visitors tend to gravitate toward the area around Mera Peak, leaving the vast wilderness surrounding the Barun Valley and the Sherpani East/West Col largely untouched. This makes the park a rare gem of untouched natural beauty, offering a true sense of isolation and adventure that is increasingly hard to find elsewhere in Nepal.
