Trip Overview

Makalu Base Camp Trek offers you the most beautiful and spectacular views of the Himalayas of Nepal. The trek to Makalu Base Camp is a wilderness, adventurous, and fun trek. Mt. Makalu is the fourth-highest mountain in the world, standing tall at 8463m. The journey will take you deep into the high Himalayas. Being at the base camp, surrounded by giant mountains everywhere, is surreal to watch. From the base camp, you can view the great Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Baruntse. The journey is full of lush vegetation along the Arun and Barun river valleys, which lead up to Makalu Base Camp.

The journey to Makalu Base Camp is not easy, but every step of the walk is worth it when you get to see the mesmerizing scenes of the Himalayas of Nepal. Arun Valley offers some of the most dramatic views of the landscape and the verdant forests. Makalu-Barun National Park is where you will find yourself most of the time before getting close to the Himalayas. Enjoy the beautiful gift of nature while you are in a national park. Shipton La Pass (4210 m), a tough pass to cross over, gives you a majestic view of Chamling Himal and Makalu. The place is very remote, with everything in its intact form. You will relish your time with the magnificent views of Mt. Everest (8848m), Mt. Makalu (8481m), Mt. Kanchenjunga (8586m), Lhotse (8516m), Baruntse (7129m), Chamlang (7319m), and the other Himalayas on the eastern side of Nepal.

You will start your trek from Tumlingtar. You will either find yourself ascending or descending, as there are no flat walking paths, which makes it an even more difficult trek. But as you walk, you will get to see the stunning cliffs with glaciers and beautiful overflowing waterfalls. You will also get to interact with the small community of Tibetans and Sherpas in the tranquil Himalayas. Makalu Base Camp Trek is the perfect trek if you really want to enjoy the hike along the rhododendron forest just beneath the snow-capped peaks, which is a beautiful gift of nature.
