The Makalu Base Camp Trek is a less frequented trekking  route due to its relative isolation and remote setting. It offers an ideal opportunity for hardier or more experienced trekkers to explore a pristine region of wide-ranging natural beauty and glorious scenery including Everest. Here, Makalu Barun is one of Nepal’s newest national parks which represents the world’s only protected area with an elevation gain of more than 8000m, with Makalu; fifth highest peak in the World at its core. It encloses a diverse assortment of flora and fauna ranging from tropical forests in the south to the soaring snow-capped backdrop of the Himalayas in the north.
The trek initiates  with a scenic flight to Tumlingtar from where we  head out towards the village of Num (1560m) the next day.  On the way, we pass through  a ridgeline with a steeply undulating trail snaking along its length that affords some of the finest panoramic views across in the Himalayas. After that we make our way to Seduwa (1500m) where we will be called in at the local outpost of the national park to register and obtain the necessary permits before moving on again towards Tashi Gaun (2100m). Heading and passing such other places we finally arrive at the  ultimate goal of the Trek;  Makalu Base Camp. From here, we will be presented with spectacular views of the southern face of  mountains with other  glorious panorama of Everest and Lhotse reaching toward the heavens. Well, after spending an appropriate time to breathe in and remember every last indelible aspect of the view,  we head back to Tumlingtar again  with fresh aspects and experiences along the way to bring new perspectives to the journey.
