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.
