Why Trek in the Makalu Region?
The Makalu Region is home to Mount Makalu, the fifth-highest mountain in the world, standing at 8,485 meters. This region is known for its dramatic landscapes, which include dense forests, high-altitude meadows, glacial valleys, and towering peaks. Trekking in the Makalu Region offers a unique opportunity to explore one of Nepal’s most pristine and less-traveled areas. The region's remoteness ensures fewer trekkers, providing a peaceful and intimate trekking experience. Additionally, the Makalu Barun National Park, part of the region, is a biodiversity hotspot, home to rare flora and fauna, including the elusive snow leopard and red panda.
