About this trek
Formerly a restricted area, Makalu spans five major ecological zones in Nepal. It embraces the lush, tropical Arun Valley, dense forests of rhododendron, fir, and alpine meadows that lead to the mighty Barun glacier. From the base camp, you can view the spectacular Mt. Makalu too.
This low-altitude trek is centered on the Arun Valley. The base of the sub-tropical valley of the Arun River is in places forested, contrasting with the terraced slopes higher up. They are farmed by villagers of diverse tribal groups. The top slopes are marked by high fields, which border the Makalu-Barun National Park, an important conservation area. These areas consist of many threatened species.
