Makalu Base Camp Trekking

The trail goes along the Arun Kosi and Barun Valley, protected as Nepal's newest national park. A rough trail leads past yak pastures and glaciers to the foot of Makalu. You can make an outstanding trek in eastern Nepal from either Hile or Tumlingtar by walking north up the Arun Kosi to Sedua and Num, then crossing Shipton La (4260m) into the upper Barun Khola valley for a close look at Makalu and Chhamlang. The trek to Makalu base camp visits one of the most remote and unfrequented areas of Nepal. The Barun Valley is part of a huge international protected area under an agreement between Nepal and China.
