Itinerary

For those who dream of untamed wilderness and panoramic mountain vistas, the Makalu Base Camp Trek is an exceptional choice. This two-week adventure leads seasoned trekkers and fit young explorers through Nepal’s awe-inspiring Makalu Barun National Park, spanning 2,330 sq. km across Solukhumbu and Sankhuwasabha. The trek challenges you with varied terrain as you ascend to Makalu Base Camp, offering unrivaled views of Mount Makalu (8,463 m), Everest, Lhotse, Chamlang, and even distant Kanchenjunga.

The real allure lies in the trek’s remoteness and the rare opportunity to witness the seldom-seen Kangshung Face of Everest. Along the way, you’ll encounter vibrant local cultures and unique heritage, enriching your journey beyond the natural spectacle. The route is demanding in parts, making this trip ideal for experienced hikers ready for a rewarding yet challenging experience.

A key highlight? The trek delivers some of Nepal’s most dramatic and little-visited scenery—an authentic Himalayan adventure with far fewer crowds. Accommodation, transportation, and select meals are included, allowing you to focus on the journey’s physical and cultural rewards. For those who crave adventure and pristine mountain landscapes, this tour stands out as a truly unique Himalayan trek.
