Makalu (8463m) is the fifth highest mountain in the world. The trek up to Makalu Base Camp is an excellent choice for those adventure lovers who want to explore the most amazing and unseen scenery of the eastern Himalayas. Utterly marvelous, and still very untouched, the irregular trekking area of Makalu region is very close to the Everest region. The unimaginably beautiful area is famous for both culture and nature. A naturalist’s paradise, teeming with many precious plants, animals (such as wolves, fox, lynx and the elusive snow leopard) and birds and a significant part of the Himalayas are the main attractions of this region. The trek takes you through the entire scenic and cultural heritage of Nepal, from the hot flat plains of the Terai(200m) to Makalu Base Camp (4812m)., which is the least visited area by tourists in Nepal’s far east. The views of the south face of Makalu, as well as Everest and Lhotse are truly regal and fantastic.
