Makalu
at 8481 m is the fifth highest mountain in the world. This is
another extremely remote and beautiful trek, which leads up the Arun
river valley to the remorseless ice fields surrounding Makalu.
The
trail passes through fascinating old towns and several high passes
including the Barun La at 4313 m. From the campsite at Makalu Base
Camp at 5000 m, the southern face of Makalu and the east face of
Everest are absolutely impressive.
Kusum
Kanguru, Thamserku and Kanchenjunga are among the other magnificent
mountains that you will see.
This
trek can either start and end at Tumlingtar (about 20 days) or even
better from the town of Hille in Nepal's eastern hills and ending at
Tumlingtar or Lukla to fly back to Kathmandu.
