Mt. Makalu (8481m), the fifth highest mountain of the world lying on the Nepal in the heart of the eastern Himalayas is Tibet border has the virtue of observing the Nepal’s most major peaks to the east of the Everest. This is a one of the most demanding remote and unfrequented area of Nepal. The Makalu Base camp trekking is a true adventure with scenery so beautiful that it will never tire you. This place still needs your exploration to come out with true delight and entertainment provided by birds and wildlife.
This Makalu trekking takes you to Makalu Base Camp (5250m), now designated as Makalu Barun National Park and Conservation Area.Due to its isolation and lack of tea houses, this region still receives few trekkers. The main habitants in this area are Sherpas, Rais and Limbus. These villages, particularly the Barun valley, treasure some of the last remaining pristine forests and alpine meadows of Nepal. From the bottom of Barun valley, at just 435 meter above the sea level, the Himalayas rise to the snow capped tip of Makalu.
Within this wide range of altitudes and climates, the Makalu-Barun area contains some of the richest and most diverse pocket of plants and animal life in Nepal. Barun Valley is a sancuatry for wild animals such as Elusive Snow leopard, wolves, lynx,foxes and many other endangered animals. The trekking starts with a flight to Tumlingtar and heads up the Arun River valley to Sedewa and Num, then crossing Shipton La Pass (4210 m) into the upper Barun river valley for a close look at Makalu and Chamlang Himal.

I had the pleasure last January of having the most wonderful trekking guide in Nepal around Kathmandu and then the Annapurna circuit trekking in Annapurna region trek . I have been with him several times in Nepal including Everest base camp kalapathar trekking upper mustang trekking manaslu trekking in Nepal annapurna base camp trekking and sight seeing around kathmandu patan and bhakatapur Rajandra Khanal was not only knowledgeable about Nepalese history and trails, he was also patient, efficient, very smart and witty, spoke excellent English and always seemed to have a good rapport with whoever we encountered, both local Nepalese and tourists. He was an extremely strong guide who carried some of my belongings along with his own, and never appeared tired, always as energetic and agile as a mountain goat. I remember one instance where we did a steep climb, and I as usual was moving very slowly in Annapurna region trek . When we reacched the top of the mountain I realized I did not have my money pouch, and had probably dropped it way back on the trekking trail where we had stopped. As soon as I told him he was off, running down the mountain at top speed. I watched him reach the bottom and take off like lightning down the trail. We had passed a group of boys walking in the direction of where I had dropped my pouch, and of course, if they found it that would be the end of that. But he reached the pouch before the boys, and came running back down the trail and up the mountain in 15 minutes, the same steep climb that had taken me much longer!! He arrived smiling and happy that he had suceeded. I was very, very grateful, and impressed!!! He was always good natured and hapy!! After that I let him carry my money. At the end of the trek I found out how frugal he had been, and that he had negotiated lodgings so skillfully that he had save me quite a lot of money. We remain good friends and I look forward to the time when I can return to Nepal and trek again with this wonderful young man.
