Makalu

Makalu Trekking in Nepal

Makalu at 8,485m is the world's fifth highest peak and guards one of Nepal's most remote and biodiverse regions. Makalu Barun National Park, an extension of the famous Sagarmatha National Park, protects pristine forests and unique wildlife.

This remote destination offers a genuine wilderness experience for trekkers seeking solitude and natural beauty. The region features dramatic contrasts from lush subtropical forests at low altitude to icy glacial landscapes at the foot of Makalu and its neighboring peaks.

The region is known for its biodiversity with over 3,000 plant species, 440 bird species, and endangered animals including the snow leopard, clouded leopard, and red panda. Trekking here means exploring one of the most ecologically significant areas in the entire Himalayas.
