Mount Makalu is one of the formidable “eight thousands,” those peaks over 8,000m. While it is “only” the fifth-tallest mountain on Earth, it was the last of the eight thousands to be summitted in the winter – it is widely considered to be one of the most challenging climbs in the world.

The foothills and trekking route of Makalu are nestled in a former restricted conservation area, and even today pristine, and wild in the best possible way. Trek to Makalu Base Camp is a camping trek that will bring you close to the untamed loveliness of Nepal’s most remote outposts and the cherished cultures of its most isolated inhabitants. We’ll pass through five different ecological zones, viewing a diversity of flora and fauna as we go.

There are very few teahouse and lodge available in the route, so it is suggested for fully organize a camping trek. Not for a single, a group of adventure seekers who love the wilderness trekking is worth to do. Makalu Base Camp trekking is best in autumn and spring season. A previous trekking experience is highly recommended for this adventure trek.
