MAKALU BASE CAMP TREK 2026

The Makalu Base Camp trek is one of Nepal’s most scenic and less-traveled high-altitude treks. Starting from Tumlingtar in Eastern Nepal, the route passes through the lush Arun River valley, remote villages, and dense rhododendron forests. Gradually, the trail enters alpine zones with high meadows, glaciers, and glacial streams, offering dramatic mountain scenery.

This trek balances adventure and comfort with daily walking of 5–8 hours, allowing trekkers to acclimatize naturally. Makalu Base Camp itself provides a breathtaking view of Makalu (8,463 m), the fifth highest peak in the world, along with surrounding 7,000–8,000-meter giants. The return trek follows a slightly different route for variety, passing through the same pristine landscapes in reverse, ensuring a complete Himalayan experience.

Trekking with AltiNepal ensures experienced guides, well-trained porters, safety equipment, and emergency oxygen, offering a secure and rewarding journey for both first-time high-altitude trekkers and seasoned adventurers.
