Makalu Base Camp trek is one of the most popular and true adventurous trekking destinations that offers a rare opportunity to explore high-altitude terrains, snow-capped landscapes, and ethnic Himalayan lifestyle. Mt. Makalu (8463 m), the fifth highest peak in the world and Makalu Barun National Park in Solukhumbhu and Sankhuwasabha district is the main focal point of Makalu base camp trek. The lush, tropical Arun Valley, dense forests of rhododendron and fir and alpine meadows can be found in this trek that leads to the mighty Barun glacier. Makalu base camp trek is a challenging and outstanding trek as it is one of the most remote and unfrequented trekking areas in Nepal.

The breathtaking panoramas of the Himalayas, high altitude lakes, and passes required to cross to reach the barn, rocky base camp make it suitable for those who are enthusiastic trekkers and nature admirers who love to be in tranquil, pristine nature. The journey to Makalu base camp begins with an hour-long flight to Tumlingtar whereas the real trek starts from Chichila. You can witness lush and verdant rhododendron forests in the lower reaches of the trail whereas the upper reaches comprise of polished granite cliffs capped by hanging glaciers, overflowing with waterfalls. The Barun Glacier, the south face of Makalu (8,481m), and a complete panorama of Everest and Lhotse are seen from Makalu base camp. As the Makalu Barun National Park falls in this region, you will be able to witness many species of plants, birds, and animals which includes the snow leopard, red panda, musk deer, wild boar, wild yak, and the Himalayan Thar. In this region, you hardly find any modern facilities and amenities as it is blessed with an incredible diversity of natural beauty.
