Makalu Base Camp Trek – 20 Days
The Makalu Base Camp Trek is a challenging and off-the-beaten-path journey in eastern Nepal, offering raw wilderness, towering mountain views, and diverse ecological zones. This trek takes you to the base of Mount Makalu (8,481m) – the world’s fifth-highest peak – through the remote Makalu-Barun National Park. With few trekkers on the trail, it’s ideal for those seeking solitude, adventure, and dramatic Himalayan scenery.
From lush rhododendron forests to high alpine landscapes and glacial moraines, the route rewards with striking views of Makalu, Baruntse, Chamlang, and even Everest and Lhotse from certain points.
