Itinerary

For nature lovers and intrepid explorers, Makalu Base Camp trekking presents an unrivaled opportunity to journey through one of Nepal’s most remote and pristine regions. 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. Along the way, you’ll pass through culturally rich villages inhabited by Brahman, Rai, Limbu, Gurung, and Tamang communities, each with their own traditions and languages.

The unique selling point of this tour package is its deep immersion in both nature and culture, far from the crowded trails of more popular treks. With biodiversity rivaling any in the Himalayas, Makalu Base Camp is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for those seeking solitude and raw natural beauty.
