Highlights
Makalu Base Camp trek is one of the most special and raw trekking experiences you can have in Nepal. Unlike the busy trails of Everest or Annapurna, this route takes you deep into a remote part of the Himalayas where nature is untouched and peaceful. The journey goes through the heart of Makalu-Barun National Park, from lush green forests and waterfalls to high alpine valleys and glaciers. You’ll get to see rare and breathtaking views of Mt. Makalu, the fifth highest mountain in the world, along with Everest, Lhotse, and Baruntse from unique angles. The trail is rich in biodiversity, home to red pandas, Himalayan thars, colorful birds, and forests full of rhododendrons and medicinal plants. Along the way, you’ll also get to experience the simple and humble lifestyle of the local Rai, Sherpa, and Bhotiya communities, whose warm hospitality adds depth to the journey. With fewer trekkers on the trail, you’ll find a kind of silence and connection to nature that’s hard to get elsewhere.

About Kathmandu
Kathmandu is Nepal's ancient, colourful capital, a valley city of temples, stupas and royal squares and the gateway to the Himalaya.
Kathmandu Durbar Square, the old royal square, is crowded with pagoda-roofed temples and palaces, and nearby lives the Kumari, the city's living child goddess. Thamel, the travellers' quarter, is a tangle of lanes selling trekking gear, prayer flags and handicrafts, busy with cafés and rooftop restaurants.
Top-ranked sights in Kathmandu: Namche Bazaar, Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur).
