This is a demanding, and an outstanding trek in eastern Nepal. The trek up to Makalu base camp visits one of the most remote andunfrequented areas of Nepal. The long trek and unspoiled terrain makes this trek a classic in its own. This trek goes high up to 5,100m. This is a region where you hardly find any modern facilities and amenities but blessed with an incredible diversity of natural beauty. Rising to 8,463m between Nepal Tibet border is the giant mass of Makalu, the world's fifth highest peak. To approach the base camp area, we have to begin with a flight to tumlingtar in eastern Nepal. We follow a trail up the fertile Arun river valley. From the village of Nun (909m), we take the northwest trail through small settlements and begin the ascent of then Barun La (4,152m). On the way there are views to the east of Kanchanjunga and Jamu Himal. This trek can be taken to be extremely remote in its upper reaches.
From the Hillary and Makalu base Camp (5,050m), a side trip will offer excellent views of Makalu 's South face, an impressive landscape of the northeast face of Everest (8,848m), Lhotse (8,516m), Baruntse (7,220m) and Chamlang (7,275m). This trek is best to be undertaken between October and late November before early winter snow cuts off access to the base camp area.
