Makalu-Barun/Mera Trekking
Makalu Barun Trekking is a challenging trekking route in the Makalu Barun region of Eastern Nepal. The route traverses the Makalu-Barun National Park area, known for its pristine nature and diverse wildlife and flora. The trek starts in Tumlingtar and leads through remote villages, dense forests, deep valleys, and over high passes. The landscape is characterized by towering peaks, including the majestic Mount Makalu, which at 8,485 meters is the world's fifth-highest mountain. During the trek, one enjoys breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, glaciers, and river valleys. The route is less frequented than other popular trekking paths in Nepal, making it an ideal choice for adventurous trekkers who enjoy the solitude and tranquility of nature. The trekking route is demanding and requires good physical condition as well as experience in trekking in high-altitude terrain. During the Mera Trekking, you have an opportunity to enjoy stunning views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and other surrounding peaks. Mera Trekking in Nepal is an exciting and challenging experience that offers you the chance to witness the majestic beauty of the Himalayas. However, it is important to prepare for the altitude and physical demands of the trek to ensure your safety and well-being. During the trek, one has the chance to learn about the local Sherpa culture and stay in traditional teahouses. The hospitality of the locals is heartfelt, and one can learn a lot about their way of life and traditions.
