Download for offline use
Save your GPX/KML and import it into an offline maps app before you fly to the mountains — cell and data coverage is patchy above the valleys.

Answer two quick questions
Question 1 of 2Your trek
Which trek do you want to map?
Each route comes with verified coordinates, permit info and a recorded GPS trail where available.
Your route map will appear here
Answer the two quick questions above and tap “Map & build my route” to see the trail on OpenStreetMap, the full itinerary, an elevation profile, and your GPX/KML download.
How it works
From Route to Your GPS in Four Steps
Everything runs in your browser. Pick a route, preview it, download the file, then load it into the navigation app or device you already use on the trail.
- 1
Select a trek
Choose from classic Everest, Annapurna, Langtang and Manaslu routes — each with verified coordinates.
- 2
Preview the map
See the full trail on OpenStreetMap with numbered stops, elevation profile and a day-by-day itinerary.
- 3
Download GPX / KML
Export an industry-standard file with elevation tags for every waypoint — GPX for devices, KML for Google Earth.
- 4
Load & navigate
Import into Gaia GPS, Organic Maps, Garmin Connect, Komoot or Google Earth and use it offline on the trail.
Using GPS files safely
A Route Line Is a Backup, Not a Substitute for a Guide
Offline tracks are an invaluable safety layer in the Himalaya, but conditions change fast. Treat these files as planning and navigation aids alongside local expertise.
Cold drains batteries
Lithium batteries fade fast below freezing. Carry a power bank, keep your phone warm in an inner pocket, and bring a printed map as backup.
Guides are mandatory
Many Nepal regions legally require a licensed guide. A track on a screen can't warn you about washed-out bridges, fresh snow on a pass, or altitude sickness.

GPX & Trek Map Questions
Answers about GPX and KML files, elevation data, and navigating safely.
What is a GPX file and how do I use it?
GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is the universal standard for sharing GPS routes. Download the file, then import it into an offline navigation app such as Gaia GPS, Organic Maps, Komoot or Garmin Connect, or load it onto a Garmin/Suunto/Coros watch. Your device then shows the trail line and lets you follow it — even with no mobile signal.
What is the difference between GPX and KML?
GPX is best for GPS watches and handheld units and is supported by almost every navigation app. KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is built for Google Earth and Google Maps, making it ideal for previewing the route in 3D on a desktop. This tool exports both — just tap the GPX or KML button in the download section.
Do the files include elevation data?
Yes. Every waypoint and track point is tagged with its elevation in metres, so your app or device can draw an accurate climb profile and estimate the effort of each section. The elevation graph in this tool shows the full ascent and descent of the recorded trail.
Are the routes and coordinates accurate?
For most routes the map and elevation graph load a real, recorded GPS track of the trail (hundreds of points) straight from a GPX file, so the line closely follows the actual path. Where a recorded track is unavailable, the tool falls back to a planned line through the key named stops. Either way, always navigate with a licensed guide and verify current conditions on the ground.
What are the “acclimatization buffers” option?
Choosing “+ Acclimatization buffers” adds extra suggested rest waypoints near the main stops. These are reminders to climb high and sleep low and to build in rest days above 3,000 m — they are guidance points, not official campsites.
Can I trek these routes solo with just a GPS file?
We strongly advise against it. Several Nepal regions legally require a licensed guide, and a route line cannot warn you about bridge washouts, fresh snow on a pass, or altitude sickness. Use the file as a backup navigation layer alongside a qualified guide.
