A challenging trek in a very remote area of Nepal.   

Makalu - view from Mera Peak

The Makalu trek is an outstanding trek to base camp of the world’s fifth highest mountain. We fly to Tumlinngtar and walk up the lush and beautiful Arun valley before crossing Shipton La (4127 m) into the upper Barun Khola Valley. On the way we we will meet the etnic groups of Limbu, Newar and Rai at the lower elevations and Tibetan Buddhists at the higher elevations. At the base camp we will get a close look at Makalu ( 8481 m) in addition to Everest, Lhotse, Baruntse and Peak 6 and 7. This is an outstanding trek in one of the most remote areas in Nepal that see very few trekkers.
