Overview
What's included
Makalu Base Camp Trek is a rarely visited gem in Nepal. Makalu Barun National Park is the eighth National park in Nepal and was established in 1992, located in the Barun Valley which is part of a huge international protected area under an agreement between Nepal and China government on conservation acts.
The protected area is the habitat for a wide diversity of 3000 species of flowering plants flora and fauna, 440 species of birds, and 75 species of mammals such as orchids, rhododendrons, Musk Deer, Wild Boar, Wild Yak, Snow Leopard, Red Panda, Himalayan Thar, and many more species on the easter part of the country.
The Great Himalaya Trail to Mount Everest from Kanchenjunga is prepared for a combination of cross-country and mountaineering to cross into the upper Barun Valley and then over the high passes of the grueling Makalu Three Cols, which take you up to 6200m high altitude.
Makalu Base Camp Trek considered for all expeditors that one of the toughest 8000 m Mountains to climb even the Sir. Edmund Hillary failed twice to climb this Mountain. But the wilderness around it is just waiting to be explored by the intrepid trekker prepared to forgo the comforts of teahouse treks. The camping trail to Makalu Base Camp from the south is considered one of the tougher trekking routes in Nepal.
The Makalu Barun region is known for its heavy rains and snow, so trekking is best done in the autumn months of October and November.

Your arrival in Kathmandu will be marked by landing at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). A company representative of Himalayan Adventure Treks & Tours will receive you and transfer you to your hotel. Evening you can meet the participants and the trek members. Overnight stay at a hotel in Kathmandu.
In the morning, our guide will pick you up from your hotel to take a flight of an hour to Tumlingtar. The flight to Tumlingtar is scenic as one can see the snow-capped peaks all the way from Langtang to Mt. Everest including Makalu and Kanchenjunga.
On landing at Tumlingtar airport, you will be transferred to lodge at Tumlingtar, a large town located on a shelf above Arun River.
Enjoying the views of Mt. Manaslu and other mountains in the morning, we head towards Num village. We pass many farmlands and villages as we reach Khandbari. We follow the winding jeep track leading uphill to a village of Chinchilla followed by ups and down to reach Num village.
The morning starts with the easy trekking to Sedua village. Descending down to the Arun River, we cross the suspension bridge over the river and slowly ascend leaving rainforest behind as we pass some old tea shop, corn & buckwheat field leading to the hamlets of Runruma. Moving along the rocky path and tiny terraces planted with corn and barley, we make a long, steep, rough climb to Sedua.
Today is an easy and short walk to Tashi Gaon, the last human settlement for a week. We start to walk past the Rasuwa River to Gyang (1770m). In the trail, you see many terraced fields and forest areas to Hindrungma village and reach Tashi Gaon.
Today is a tiring day as the trail is a long ascent. We slowly ascend to a shepherd’s hut called Chipla atop another ridge and then climb past two small streams, switchback up the ridge in forests to a Kharka. Here, the trail combines with the ridge that separates the Iswa and Kasuwa drainages.
We then slowly climb stone stairs to Dhara Kharka, a meadow atop the ridge. We then move over a hillock and descend to reach Kauma.
In the morning, enjoy the panorama view of the mountains. The trail starts with a few ups and downs passing the glacial ponds. On the way, we can witness the famous twin peaks of Chamlang Peak 6 and Peak 7. Later, we climb the stone staircase and climb gently up a shallow rocky gully to the Kike La.
We then cross the Tutu La pass at (4075m) and further continue descending down about 150 meters into dense rhododendron forests to flat land. A short walk past the dense forest leads to the village of Mumbuk.
Continuing our journey, we start following the stream and walk along the Barun River to reach Kharka. Moving through forests of birch and scrub rhododendron, we reach Yangle Kharka. After climbing YangleKharka, we cross the north side of the Barun Khola to reach Nhe Kharka.
You can see a small gompa on the south side of the valley that offers great mountain views in all directions.
Today is going to be a very laborious journey as we have to ascend almost 1000 m from NheKharka. We start our trail along the northern bank of the Barun Khola. After a short walk, the trail ascends gently as we approach Ripok Kharka through the huge S-shaped curve that Barun Valley and the walls rise almost vertically 1500 to 2000 meters above the river.
After ascending, we are welcomed by a majestic view of the Pyramid Peak, Peak 4, Chamlang, Peak 3, and Peak 5. Further walking into an alluvial valley you can see the Fifth highest mountain Makalu is visible just before reaching Sherson.
In the morning, we start our hike to Makalu Base Camp, our highest point of this journey. After a few hours of hike, we reach Makalu Base Camp surrounded by Makalu and Barun mountains with a small glacial pond nearby.
We then climb to the hilltop of the base camp for the rare view of the East face of Mt. Everest, locally known as Khangsung face, and Mt. Lhotse. Later, return to the Sherson and enjoy the surrounding there.
Wake up early in the morning and enjoy the sunrise view and golden mountain as the rays hit the mountain. Later, we trek back to the very end of the Barun valley at Yak Kharka following the same trail.
Leaving behind the Barun valley, we make our way as we pass through the forest of pine and rhododendron and reach Mumbuk in the late afternoon to witness the beautiful sunset.
Leaving Mumbuk, we trek across the two passes, Shipton La at around (4040m) and Tutu La- pass, and descend to Kohma Danda.
Today, we retrace our way back to the human settlement after being away for a week. We take it slow as we have to make a long descent back through the dense forest to Tashi Gaon. Afterward, we ascend through the cool shades of the trees as we pass through the farmlands and forest to reach Nawa-Gaon.
Getting back to the human settlement after a week, we descent down to Sedua, and then follow the downhill path to the suspension bridge over the mighty Arun River. After crossing the river, we make an hour-long climb to Num village.
With the wonderful morning views of distant snow-capped mountains, we leave Num and head to Tumlingtar. The drive leads uphill for a while till we reach Chinchilla village. From here, the road is downhill to Tumlingtar passing through the town of Khandbari.
On this day, fly to Kathmandu in the morning. This short and scenic flight possibly makes you feel nostalgic because of the glimpses of snowy mountains through the private window of a plane.

Physical Fitness:
Many people have questions as to what level of physical fitness is required for trekking in Nepal and that is extremely reliant on what activity the visitor is engaging in Nepal With that said, for a standard easy trek to Extreme hard level of trekking. The daily activity (trek) would be 5-6 hours,(depend on the trekking trail) and elevation will generally not exceed 5,600 meters like Everest Base Camp, Throng la passes, Chola passes treks and other passes or Base Camp but some of them are less than 4000m. The trekking day is involving both long steep climbs, and descents with a variety of terrain underfoot from well-trodden paths, to rocks covered with ice or snow, depending on the season. Mostly a day would include a number of climbs or descents of 600 meters more or less, starting after the early morning breakfast, resting at a lunch place in the afternoon, then continuous trekking until arriving at the teahouse.
In preparation for the trekking in Nepal, it is important, to begin with, the basic training requirement at least 2 months before departing for trekking in Nepal. Two to three hours of aerobic exercise like running, walking, swimming, cycling & some gym work per week is the minimum and most will find it beneficial to add some basic strength training to their physical fitness routine required for the hard trekking and for normal and easy trek just have some physical fitness is enough. One of the best ways to prepare is to take practice hikes with a daypack roughly the same weight as what you will be taking during the trek. Your calf should be enough fit and prepare for trekking. Mostly during the trekking calf pain or tiredness is the main issue. Do this only after a baseline of fitness has been reached. Moving fast is not our goal, will provide a more enjoyable and safe adventure trekking in Nepal for all easy and hard level.
Trekking Seasons in Nepal:
There are main two seasons in which Nepal where the most amount of visitors visit. (September, October & November) being the most popular season which is also called the peak season in Nepal, and spring (March, April & May) coming in close behind which is also called the mini-season in Nepal. The summer months of June, July, and August are the monsoon season and most of the time raining as such the trails are mostly washed out sometimes, and roads can sometimes be impassible due to landslide activates. Nevertheless, you can trek to rain-shadow regions like Upper Dolpo and Upper Mustang during the monsoon seasons. Nepal is a suitable destination for all seasons.
Winter is very dry & extremely cold and all the high passes become inaccessible due to ice and snow conditions. The temperature doesn’t usually fluctuate during the day time temperature is around 20-25 degrees. However, you gain altitude the temperature decreases. The temperature can drop to around 0 to -25 degrees at night when staying at tented camps in Himalayan regions. Winter trek in higher altitudes is not advised due to the danger of avalanches and also altitude sickness. Although some may enjoy the sight of the snow-covered mountains as you reach your destination. However, the temperature does not change as much in lower mountain regions the nights are slightly colder than days’ time.
Autumn &Spring is the best timing for trekking in Nepal because the weather is generally warm and dry, and flowers are in bloom in the lower elevations of the country on the same time you can see the many festivals during that period.
Trekking Day:
A typical trekking day begins with the early morning breakfast around 7 am in the hotel. (Depend on the trekking region). It would advise you to pack your trekking gears in a duffle bag and essential supplies in your day pack after having breakfast; we begin the trek and head along the trail at around 8 am. The morning walk is more energetic to be longer as we begin with refreshed bodies and enthusiasm. A good morning’s walk, we make a stop for lunch at around 11-12 pm. The lunch involves group meals enjoying the vicinity around the stop & enjoys the organic & local food in the mountain. After resting for about an hour or two, we resume our trek to reach the teahouse or camp by 2-3 pm. The afternoon walk is relatively shorter and can involve games and side trips as organized by the trekking experienced guides. You also can enjoy breaks during the trek to relax, read, and stroll around the area, or doing yoga. You can explore with the local people and observe their lifestyle & culture. Dinner is served around 7-8 in the evening to round off the day.
Meals and Accommodations:
During the trekking period, the accommodation is commonly referred to as teahouses. These are family-run basic lodges that fill the role of the restaurant, Dining hall, and boarding house for tourists. Now a day’s electricity can be found in the rooms, which means one light bulb, and one or two outlets for charging electronics. The common areas are also lit by electricity. Alternatively, teahouses may also use solar, hydroelectric, or have electrical lines running into the village, so the commonality and availability of electricity may vary. Still, a few of the trekking route electricity service is not available. Use the local traditional kerosene light.
Most of the teahouses have private rooms, though if the trek is in a more remote or high altitude place there are limited teahouses so season time dormitories are the norm. Most of the room has 2 single beds with basic bedding, and the bathroom is shared. Some of the places we can get the private bathroom also with a mix of western and squat style toilets in the bathrooms.
Breakfast and dinner are taken at the same teahouses and these lodges have large family-style dining rooms centered on a stove or coal to provide heat basically in mountain areas. Most of the area’s menu will have Nepali-style western foods such as pancakes, pizza, burgers, fries, etc. Also on the menu is the traditional Nepali food Dal Bhat meal. This is a lentil soup with rice, vegetable, Pickle, or meat curry. Most menus will also offer a smattering of local cuisine.
Internal Flight Delays:
Nepal is an incredible and beautiful country of mixed of the White Mountains, deep valleys, Landscape, rivers, and green rolling hills. With this incredible diversity of landscapes, road travel can be extremely time-consuming and flights within Nepal to reach popular trekking destinations is the easiest way. Not all the trekking destination has flight service so road transportation is the only option. Mountainous terrain also comes with the possibility of in-climate weather. It mentions the incredibly high number of visitors during peak seasons makes internal flight delays a genuine possibility. To manage this situation it may be helpful to have a few extras days on either end of your tour. If any cancellations or flight delays do occur (high chances of flight delays from around Kathmandu to Lukla, Everest region, Pokhara to Jomsom, Annapurna region), we also provide services to arrange chopper on the last stage to help you to be on your schedule on the premises of Civil Aviation Rules in Nepal which state that helicopters can fly if the visibility is 1500m. The cost ranges from USD400 to USD650 according to the number of passengers. The payment can be made either to the helicopter company or to us directly and can be made either by cash or using a credit card. It will be very helpful to purchase and review your insurance as some of the alternative measures for travel may be covered by the insurance companies. Flight insurance may cover changing your international flight if it is necessary.
Travel Insurance:
Most expeditions, Adventurous trekking, and tours require that travel insurance and it is purchased prior to arriving in Nepal, but other normal treks and tours may not require. However, travel insurance is definitely an important consideration. There are a number of reasons to consider insurance. Firstly, it may be required, so check to see what is being asked for by the company. Second, Nepal is a landlocked country, and there are only a few direct flights. Travel in and out of the country can encounter some disruptions if purchasing insurance, make sure flight delays and cancellations also included. Always choose insurance that, though every safeguard is in place during your Holiday, there are always extenuating circumstances that may result in an accident during trekking & tours. Read carefully printout of insurance policies to ensure that the trekking or any other activity you are engaging in is covered or not, as some policies have stopped covering trekking in certain places. If you are going above 5000 m or high always mention the policies so it’s cover the chopper service in the last condition. It is very important that if you have the comfort of good insurance, so do the research and choose carefully which makes your trip relaxing and joyful.

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS):
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is usually seen in un-acclimatized people shortly after ascent to high altitudes. The condition occurs due to the thinning of air as the altitude increases. The condition, if not taken seriously and treated immediately, can be life-threatening and its symptoms can be seen generally above 3200 meters. The symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness are nausea, vomiting, tiredness, shortness of breath, and cerebral pain. The itineraries are designed to properly acclimatize you to the change in high altitude climate and sufficient precautionary measures too are taken to take utmost caution for our valuable guests. Our staff also equipped with cell phones and satellite phones (Option) in the occurrence of any emergency cases. We are greatly driven to keep the safety and security of our clients as our foremost concern.
Drinking-Water:
Water is essential for life, and clean water is imperative while on holiday. When visiting less developed countries like Nepal, it is a concern that all travelers should consider. There are few options when trekking or traveling in Nepal that will mitigate any chances of drinking contaminated water. The first consideration to take into account is that tap water should not be ingested. That even means when brushing your teeth in an urban area. Most will choose to buy bottled water and if doing so make sure the cap has sealed properly. Plastic bottle reuse is a big problem, and with that being said there are other options on the market to assist in making water drinkable. Mountain spring water is drinkable but if you use the purified tablet. The conservation area project also sells this tablet for most of the trekking area. A guide will assist you in finding out about it.
