OverviewMakalu Base Camp at 5000m is one of the classic treks; it is long and physically demanding taking you into some of the remotest areas of Nepal. The trail follows the beautiful Barun river valley in the Makalu Barun National Park and Conservation Area. This area has very few visitors due to its remote location and inaccessibility. We commence in the steamy lowlands of Tumlingtar on the Arun River passing through a large range of ecosystems and cultures, on lower sections of the trek there are Rai villages and further up Sherpa and Bhotias. With very few modern facilities and no lodges along the route this is purely a camping trek where you will experience a diversity of rugged natural beauty. The highest point on the trek is a gradual 100m climb to a minor pass from Makalu Base Camp where you will have a magnificent south face view of Makalu and see the complete panorama of Everest and Lhotse.
