A Gift for Someone Who Has Everything: A Map of the Route They Walked
On this page
The best gift for someone who has everything is a record of something they did, not another object. A map of a trek they walked is one: it shows the stops of the route in walking order, each with its height. It puts their own walk on the wall.
Why does a route work as a gift?
A route names a walk the person remembers, and it lists every stop in the order they reached it, each with its height. A route shows the order of the walk and the height of every stop; a photo shows one moment.
Which route suits which walker?
We chose popular treks with beautiful scenery. Four of them are below, one block each. Pick the one they walked. Each print lists its stops in walking order with the height of each, and each has a light and a dark edition.
Everest Base Camp
- 130 km, 12 days, up to 5,364 m at Base Camp
- Eight stops, from Lukla at 2,860 m
For someone who walked in the Khumbu. See the Everest Base Camp print. More in our Everest Base Camp gift ideas.
Annapurna Base Camp
- 110 km, 10 days, up to 4,130 m at Base Camp
- Eight stops, from Nayapul at 1,070 m
For someone who walked into the Annapurna Sanctuary. See the Annapurna Base Camp print.
Annapurna Circuit
- 160 km, 15 days, over Thorong La at 5,416 m
- Nine stops, from Besisahar at 760 m to Jomsom at 2,720 m
For someone who walked the loop round the Annapurna massif. See the Annapurna Circuit print.
Manaslu Circuit
- 177 km (the published trail total), 14 days, Larkya La at 5,106 m as printed
- Ten stops, from Soti Khola at 700 m
For someone who crossed Larkya La. This print is an elevation chart, not a plan view. See the Manaslu Circuit print.
The Trek Route Maps collection has more routes. The gifts for hikers guide shows how to find out which trek they walked.
Should I choose the light or the dark edition?
Each route comes in both. The light edition is on cream. The dark edition is on near-black. Choose by the room it will hang in: light for a bright wall, dark for a study or a calm corner. The route and the heights are the same in both.
Which size and finish should I choose?
All four routes share one price grid. The unframed matte print is the lowest price, and the framed options are ready to hang. Prices below were read in our shop on 26 October 2026.
- Fine Art Matte Print, unframed: €29.95 (30 x 40 cm), €36.95 (50 x 70 cm), €49.95 (70 x 100 cm)
- Wood-Framed Fine Art Print: €71.95, €147.95, €220.95
- Acrylic Glass Print: €95.95, €189.95, €264.95
What if I do not know which trek they walked?
Give a gift card. A Jhilke gift card comes in €10, €25, €50, €100 or €200, and we email it to whoever you choose. They pick the route, the edition and the size. If they love Nepal but did not trek, see our Nepali gifts for foreigners, or first trek in Nepal for someone who plans to. The gifting page has more by occasion.
Questions
What if they walked a trek that is not here?
The Trek Route Maps collection has more routes than these four. If theirs is not there, a gift card lets them choose.
Does the print show the stops in order?
Yes. Each print lists its stops in the order you walk them, with the height of each stop beside it.
Is this a photo of the trek?
No. It is an original design by Jhilke Studio that shows the route, its stops and their heights. The room picture above is a mockup.
Can I buy the print already framed?
Yes. Each route comes as an unframed matte print, in a wood frame, or on acrylic glass. The prices are in the size and finish section above.
