This is a clean planning map for website visitors, not a technical navigation map. Final route choice should consider days available, fitness, acclimatization, season, and guide advice.

The best route is not only about distance. It depends on acclimatization time, scenery, comfort style, crowds, and how gradual you want the climb to feel.
A strong all-round route with beautiful scenery and camping. Better when done in 7 days.
