Located at around 4,870 m (15,978 feet), Makalu Base Camp surrounds itself with the mountains and glaciers of the valley. It is situated in the eastern part of Nepal, with scenic views of Makalu, the fifth-highest mountain in the world. Since the accessibility is a bit remote and protected, trekkers need to put extra effort into getting there. It starts by taking a flight from Kathmandu up to Tumilngtar. The trail takes trekkers through the terrain from there, giving them a sense of tranquillity. From there onwards, the journey for the trekkers truly begins.
The trekkers can explore the ethnic communities such as the Sherpas, Rais, and Gurungs inhabiting the Makalu region. This experience will allow the trekkers to explore the local culture and witness traditional practices.
Makalu Base Camp is undoubtedly one of the exciting treks for true exploration and adventure, allowing trekkers to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Himalayas. It also challenges your physical fitness and pushes you to fuel your spirit with positivity and energy.
