Often regarded as one of the best off-the-beaten-path treks in Nepal, Makalu Base Camp is where you are looking for a fairly challenging trekking experience on a less crowded route. Makalu Is the fifth-highest peak in the world, and on this trek you will be reaching its foothill.
The Makalu Base Camp is part of the Makalu-Barun Valley in Sankhuwasabha district of Nepal. It is a glacier valley in the Himalayas, offering stunning views of several mountain peaks such as Everest, Lhotse, Baruntse, Chamlang and, of course, Makalu.
Since not many foreign travelers visit Makalu Base Camp, you can expect to see and experience authentic mountain culture and traditions. But Makalu does test the trekkers to their absolute limit before offering itself. Along the way you will journey through the lush forests, tiny mountain hamlets, meadows and waterfalls. And if you are lucky, you might even chance upon the local wildlife including the elusive red panda and even leopards.
This 14-day Makalu Base Camp itinerary is therefore a unique blend of breathtaking nature, culture and adventure.
Please see the itinerary section for more details about the trek.

I enjoyed every minute of this trip. The local staff (Gum K.C. our tour leader, and Chowang our sherpa leader, and all 5 of the porters) made the trip an amazing experience.
I had never been to Nepal or to high altitude so it was a challenge for me (at age 64) but I would most definitely do it all again in a heartbeat.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake ranks among the most illustrious treks you can take in Nepal. It promises adventure, sights, and culture.
In this 15-dat journey, you will get a rare perspective of Annapurna (8,097 m), Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Manaslu (8,163 m), Machhapuchhre (6,993 m) and Tukuche (6,920), among many other peaks. The other highlight of this trip is the stunning Tilicho (4,919 m), world's highest elevation lake. Traversing the Thorong La Pass (5,416 m) also promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, despite being one of the most challenging part of the journey.
Throughout the trek, we will see a variety of sceneries and zones that range from subtropic to alpine terrains, encounter numerous ecosystems, and unique cultures of mountain communities. We will travel past mountain streams, rhododendron forests, mountain valleys, and gorges.
See the itinerary section for more details.
The AP mini circuit has to be considered as a viable alternative to the full circuit(which I have not done) - if you have a fortnight and are confident of your trekking abilities, you will get all the thrill of the trek up the Valley and over the 5416m pass , a descent through the incredible Mustang valley on the other side followed by a memorable flight past the AP range back to Pokhara .

I was initially nervous about taking the leap and joining a group tour as a solo female traveller. Having just arrived home from this trip, I realise that it was one of the best experiences of my life to date. I have made memories for life, gained valuable local experiences in two amazing countries which have challenged preconceptions and experienced new friendships with like minded fellow travellers.
