Makalu Base Camp Trek

The duration of the trek is 24 days. On day 1, tourists are ferried from the Tribhuwan International Airport (TIA) Kathmandu to a hotel. The following day begins with a sightseeing trip of the famous world heritage sites in Kathmandu.  The next day trekkers are flown off to Tumlingtar. After disembarking at Tumlingtar, tourists march ahead to Khandbari covering a distance of 1040m on foot. The night is spent in a camp. Then the trek moves further and reaches Hururu. In the following days, travelers would be visiting other important places such as Nhe Kharka, Sedua, Tashi gaon and Kauma.
 

Covering a huge area of 2.330 sq km, the Makalu base camp trek includes the Sagarmatha National Park that covers an equally vast expanse of 1.148 sq km.  Another highlight of the trek is the Makalu Barun Conservation Area, a part of the Mount Everest ecosystem. The Makalu Barun Conservation Area has close to 3000 species of flowering plants. The endangered Red Panda, Himalayan Thar, Leopard and Musk Deer are inhabitants of this region.  According to ornithologists there are approximately 400 species of birds in the region out of which 16 are extremely rare.
 

People who live in the villages in this part of the country belong to four main communities- the Sherpas, Rai, Newars and Limbus. These ethnic groups although practice different rituals, believe in the same philosophy of simple living. Their lives have remained unchanged and uninfluenced by developments in the modern world.  In addition to the great Mount Makalu, trekkers get to witness the great Mount Everest, Lhotse and Baruntse. Impressive valleys and beautiful forests dot the landscape of the eastern region of Nepal.
