Makalu trekking in eastern Nepal is
protected by the Makalu Barun National Park and
Conservation Project. Established in 1992, it covers
2330 sq km. Among the 16 mountains in the park, it is
home to Makalu, the fifth highest mountain in the world
(8463m/ 27,766ft).
The world's fifth highest mountain. Formerly a
restricted area, it spans five major ecological zones
where can be found the lush, tropical Arun Valley, dense
forests or rhododendron and fir and alpine meadows that
lead to the might Barun glacier. From the base camp, any
one can view the spectacular Mt. Makalu.
This mainly low altitude trek is centered on the Arun
Valley, in eastern Nepal. The sub-tropical valley floor
of the mighty Arun River is in places densely forested,
contrasting with the terraced slopes higher up, which
are farmed by villagers of diverse tribal groups. High
pastures typify the upper slopes, which border on the
Makalu-Barun National Park, an important conservation
area for many threatened species.
The trails rise from 850 meters (2,788ft) to 5000 meters
(16,900ft) above sea level.

Experience Required :This Trek is
suitable for keen walkers who are able to walk
for 6 – 7 hours in a day, with a light rucksack.
Some of the days are quite long, and the walking
feels more strenuous at altitude. Generally the
trail is a good track, but occasionally it will
be uneven and rocky.

accommodated in teahouses whilst on trek. A
teahouse is a local run guesthouse, but
standards vary enormously. In popular areas such
as Everest, teahouses are more like hotels, with
hot water, Western food and private rooms
