Segment times are from my own track — my pace, not advice. Every station's position and name was checked one by one.Route is for reference only.This route wasn't planned — it's a record of a hike I did myself in April–May 2026, GPS-tracked the whole way: 14 days, actual distance 116.7 km, total ascent 6294 m. Five things to note in particular:
- Between Day 09 and Day 10, days of continuous snowfall meant switching to a helicopter transfer to Gokyo instead — I did not walk across the Ngozumba Glacier myself, so this stretch is deliberately left unmarked on the map.
- There are four short stretches across the whole trip, totaling about 4.68 km, where recording stopped and wasn't captured: about 915 m on Day 09, about 1,308 m on Day 12 (the 28 minutes from 13:35–14:03), about 2,035 m on Day 13, and about 425 m on Day 14. These stretches were genuinely walked and the path is clear — Day 09 and Day 13 are filled in using my own field-measured track from walking the same route in the opposite direction; the rest are filled in using OSM routing data, and are labeled as such. Still, follow the trail markers and your guide's instructions on the ground. These lengths were measured segment by segment from the timestamps in the exported file.
- There are a few places where I strayed off the main trail onto a wrong path — these are clearly marked on the corresponding day's map. They're not suggested routes; they're a warning not to follow them.
- There's a GPS jump in the Day 11 record — it landed 183 m off the trail and 58 m lower, then snapped back 16 seconds later. I never actually walked that spot, so it's been removed from the track.
- This GPX keeps the original timestamps — that's a record of my own pace, not a recommended pace. Judge your own pace by your own condition and the weather. The points without timestamps are the stretches that weren't recorded and were filled in from the road/trail network — the file itself makes the distinction, no explanation needed.
Follow actual on-site trail conditions and your guide's instructions when hiking — mountain weather and snow conditions vary year to year, so don't judge difficulty from this record alone.
