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. |
