World treks are a great challenge for many travellers. If you have already done the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, it's probably time to move on to a more challenging adventure. Trekking is a very popular activity that women, men, children and adults are enthusiastic about. Trekking is generally associated with mountains where you can find peace and beautiful views.
- Walking tours
- Several days of hiking
- Sleeping in the middle of the mountains
As far as world treks go, it's definitely not for the faint of heart. On such a trek you will spend several days and walk tens of kilometres. You will be rewarded with a lifetime of experience and the sincere joy of having made it through mentally and physically.
What are the world's famous treks?
Virtually every destination in the world offers an unforgettable trek. However, it is true that some places have better conditions for these physical activities. A typical example is Iceland and its Rainbow Mountains. Among the locals, you will certainly learn about Laugavegur trekwhich is about eighty kilometres long and the time needed to complete it is about three to five days.

As you can see, you'll find something to do no matter what continent you go to. For example, the last mentioned Tasmania, or rather the Cradle Mountains region, offers a total of eighty kilometres of track full of views, adventures and extraordinary experiences.
