A new route has been declared. I’d love to see someone thruhike it. I’d love to do it myself. Alas, I suspect that the various governments will not allow independent hikers. Perhaps there could be a movement to encourage them to change their stance. It is surely one of the nicest long distance hikes in the world.
As I understand, the Nepal segment is done. Some of the trail has been hiked by pioneer Australian Robin Boustead. It’s estimated to be 3400 miles (5500km) long.
Bhutan – 440km
China (Tibet) – 500km
India (Northwest) – 1,100km
