MAKALU BASE CAMP TREK

(23 days)

A rigorous trek to the foot of Mt. Makalu (8475m), the world's 5th
Highest Peak - 23 days

This is an outstanding trek in the eastern region of Nepal which offers a

combination of rich cultural 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 meters before
arriving at Makalu Base Camp [5000m]. From here, views of the south face
of Makalu, as well as Everest and Lhotse are truly regal and fantastic. The
Arun valley is also home to rare species of various Birds which are found only
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.
