Makalu Base Camp Trek

The Makalu Base Camp Trek is an unforgettable trek in Nepal from the eastern marking in the Himalayas all the way up to the foot of Mount Makalu which stands at 8,485 m tall which also marks the fifth highest peak in the world. This trek will take you towards the pristine Makalu-Barun National Park which is known across the world for its cultural heritage, rich biodiversity, and landscapes.

Nevertheless, compared to the much more popular Mount Everest and Annapurna routes, the Makalu trail is different as it is less crowded and offers absolute wilderness along with a real adventurous experience. The trail also offers a complete change in scenery from alpine meadows, high altitude glaciers, and subtropical forests leading through numerous ecosystems. During this journey, one will encounter traditional Rai, Limbu, and Sherpa villages who are known for their rich culture.

The trek is most ideal for seasoned trekkers looking for an extreme challenge away from the crowd.
