Itinerary

For the adventurous at heart, the Makalu Base Camp trek delivers an authentic Himalayan trekking experience in one of Nepal’s most secluded landscapes. Begin with a flight to Tumlingtar and follow the Barun river valley through Makalu Barun National Park, crossing high passes like Shipton La and Keke La and passing serene lakes such as Kalopokhari.

This remote trek rises from the Arun River lowlands to the lofty Makalu Base Camp at 5,000m, offering continuous views of Makalu (8,481m), Everest, Lhotse, Chamlang, and Baruntse. Camping along the way adds to the sense of wilderness and adventure.

The unique selling point of this tour is its pristine remoteness and the chance to explore a rarely visited region—perfect for those with the time, fitness, and desire to experience Nepal away from the crowds.
