- 7 Days solo hiking the Huayhuash trail in Peru. This is one of the best multi-day hikes in the world and it certainly lives up to it's reputation.

Full trail guide soon to be release on my blog: www.nickstraveldiary.com
This route maximises all the alpine alternative routes that are possible WITHOUT mountaineering equipment. All you need for this route is some good hiking boots and a good sense of direction!
Gear: Tent Durston X-mid 1p
Sleeping Bag: Rab -9C down filled bag
Backpack: Lowe Alpine Manaslu backpack 65L
FAQs...
I used a tour bus to shuttle me to the trail head. If they have seats spare from the tour group you can hitch a ride for a small fee. This was the most cost effective way I could find for a solo hiker to get to the trailhead.
Security Fees: You have to pay security fees to hike this trail. Carry cash with you on trail. Fees are generally collected at the campgrounds but there are some checkpoints on trail too.
Great stuff, was looking for this for quite some time!
Amazing you did it solo!! Best trek in the world 😍
What a hike. The scenery is incredible. I strongly support your solo hiking. Nice day! ✨💕
Thanks! It's a beautiful Place
Wow, this thumbnail is freaking awesome my friend. Absolutely stunning and enjoyable presentation! 🔥🔥🥾
Thanks, It's a beautiful place, it makes the photography easy!
Incredible scenery and hiking adventure Nick! Looks amazing out there. Nice alpine experience ;)
Really nice video, thanks;) I plan to do part of the route this summer🙏
Have been trying to find out if this combination of the normal route and alpine circuit was doable, thanks for the amazing report!
Thanks! I hope it helps you plan your trip!
Wow!
Did you cross rasac pass? Sorry if I missed this.
No, I was tempted but you would need extra tools and equipment, probably an ice axe and crampons as a minimum. Id say that pass is more of a Mountaineering route
Hi Nick, thank you so much for this video. Do you think combining your D4 with D5 morning - from Camp Jurau to Huayllapa Town via Lg. Sarapocha and Caramarca is reasonable? Please kindly share your thoughts on this. Thank you.
It's possible, however day 4 is a challenging day even though the distance isn't that high, also the town Campsite isn't the best, I'd probably aim to avoid camping in the town if you can as it's noisy and lots of wildlife around
@@NickKeenan Thank you for your quick response ... I heard there are guesthouses and a hostel in town so I will try my luck then. Greatly appreciate it.
Hey man I’m going to do the trek in September and I want to follow your route. I see you have it on FATMAP but I’ve never used that app before so I had a question. Am I able to download your route and follow it offline?
Hey, yes you have to have the subscription, but they offer a free trial where you could download the gpx track and also download the map offline 👍
@@NickKeenanawesome thanks for the reply!
