Are you a thrill seeker with a passion for hiking? Buckle up as we take you on a virtual tour of some of the most dangerous hiking trails around the globe. These treks aren’t for the faint-hearted, but they offer breathtaking views and exhilarating experiences that are second to none.
- El Caminito del Rey, Spain
Perched high above the Gaitanes Gorge, El Caminito del Rey (the king’s little pathway) is a narrow walkway that promises heart-pounding thrills. Once known as the world’s most dangerous walkway, today it’s safer but still offers an unforgettable experience.
- Mount Huashan, China
With steep staircases and wooden planks bolted onto the mountainside, the trail up Mount Huashan is as dangerous as it is ancient. The reward? Stunning views and the chance to sip tea at a teahouse perched on 1 of the mountain’s peaks.
- Kalalau Trail, Hawaii
This 35km round trip on Kauai’s Nāpali Coast isn’t just treacherous due to the narrow paths and sheer drops… The weather can turn in an instant, making the trail slippery and even more hazardous.
- The Maze, USA
Located in the Canyonlands National Park, Utah, The Maze is a labyrinth of red rock canyons that’s easy to get lost in. It’s remote, challenging, and requires self-sufficiency and a sense of adventure.
- Drakensberg Grand Traverse, South Africa
Last but not least, the Drakensberg Grand Traverse in South Africa is a test of endurance and navigation skills. With unmarked routes and the threat of sudden weather changes, it’s a trail that demands respect.
