This is an outstanding trek in the eastern
region of Nepal which offers a combination of
rich culture heritage, unsurpassed beauty and
biological diversity. The trail takes you from
the steamy lowlands of Tumlingtar on the Arun
River, through one of the least frequented areas
of Nepal, to the base camp of Makalu [8475m].
The trail follows the beautiful Barun river
valley in the Makalu Barun National Park,
crossing Shipton pass at 4127 meter before
arriving at Makalu Base Camp [5000m], from here
views of the south face of Makalu, as well as
Everest and Lhotse are truly spectacular. The
Arun valley is also a home of rare species of
various Birds which are now only found in Nepal.
Anyone in good shape and has previous experience
of trekking can make this fairly challenging
trek anytime in March to May and September to
early December. |
