This trek takes you through isolated
valleys and high mountain passes to the base of the
world's fifth highest mountain Mt.Makalu. The majority
of the trek route lies inside Makalu-Barun national
park, famous for a beautiful and variant array of flora
and fauna. Here you will find some of Nepal's most
amazing scenery, ranging from the sweeping Arun river
valley, over the Barun La (4200m), to the remorseless
Ice fields surrounding Makalu (8463 m). Trekking through
the Arun valley offers you the best opportunity to
observe many of our country's bird species, including
the Spiny Babbler, the only species of its kind in the
world. Practically untouched, this region has much more
to offer you besides birds and wildlife
find out for
yourself!
The trek starts from the small hill town of Hile,
accessible by road or air, or through Tumblingtar, the
district headquarters of Sunkhwasabha. |
