Makalu Base Camp Trekking
Trip Fact
This trek to the base camp of the world's fifth highest mountain takes place in the Makalu Barun National Park, a place of outstanding natural beauty, which is recognised internationally for the diversity of its flora and fauna. Due to its relative inaccessibility, it is little-known to tourists and few trekking groups visit. The region was completely closed to the outside world until 1952 when Eric Shipton visited, crossing what became known as the Shipton-La (4,220m.). A few years later, in 1955, a French team trekked this route to base camp and climbed Makalu via its North West Ridge.
Makalu base camp trek begins in Tumlingtar at an altitude of (400m.) to reach a high point ten days later of (5,500m.) below the South East Ridge of Makalu. From a view point above base camp you can enjoy a superb panorama of some of the world's highest mountains, including Everest (8,850m.), Lhotse (8,516m.), Makalu (8,463m.), Chamlang (7,319m.) and Baruntse (7,220m.). The trekking route is populated by a diverse cross-section of Nepali peoples, many of whom live in isolated villages and rely on subsistence farming for their livelihoods. It is therefore a culturally rich experience and one that would suit those returning to Nepal having completed a previous trek.
