Arun Valley Makalu Trekking Nepal - 21 Days
This region is blessed with an incredible diversity of
natural beauty and culture. Due to its isolation and lack of tea houses this
area still receives few trekers. Sherpa, Rai and Limbus are main habitants in
this area. Walking north up the Arun river to Sedua and Num, then crossing
Barun La (4110m) into the upper Barun
Khola valley for a close look at Makalu (8463m). You can put together even wilder trek by
crossing Sherpani Col and west Col into the upper Hongu valley. The second part of the trek is very difficult and almost impossible without
previous experience.
High in the heart of the eastern Himalaya, seven valleys
radiate from mount. Makalu, the world's thirth highest peak. These valleys,
particularly the Barun valley, treasure some of the last remaining pristine
forests and alpine meadows of Nepal. From the bottom of the Arun valley, at
just 435 m above sea level, the Himalaya rise to the snow-capped tip of Makalu-
8.463 m--within a 40 km distance. Within this wide range of altitudes and
climates, the Makalu-Barun area contains some of the richest and most diverse
pockets of plants and animals in Nepal, elsewhere lost to spreading human
habitation.
