This camping trek traverses the wild landscapes of Makalu Barun National Park, home to lush forests, cascading waterfalls, and dramatic glaciers.

Trekkers are treated to spectacular views of Himalayan giants such as Makalu (8,463m), Chamlang, and Baruntse, with the route plunging from high peaks to the Arun River’s lowlands.
