Sightseeing of world heritage monuments in Kathmandu Valley, including Kathmandu Darbar Square, Swayambhunath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and Pashupatinath Temple.

Overnight at the hotel with breakfast included.

We fly from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar, then take a vehicle to Num via Hururu.
Overnight stays at guesthouses include breakfast, lunch, and supper.

Duration: 5 hours

We continue along the route, dropping sharply from Num past Lumbang's cornfields. Below the settlement, the path descends steeply through the forest to a suspension bridge over the Arun River (660 m).

From the bridge, we ascend steeply to a rudimentary tea store before passing through maize and buckwheat fields. Moving over the stony slope and little terraces filled with maize and barley, we undertake a lengthy, steep, and hard ascent to Sedua.

Duration: 6-7 hours

We leave Sedua and gradually ascend high above the Kasuwa Khola to Gyang (1770m)

After climbing beyond Gyang's school, the path leads to Hindrungma hamlet and Rupisa over terraced fields and wooded regions. We pass meadows and multiple streams before climbing to the Sherpa settlement of Tashi Gaon.

Duration: 6 hours

We hike over the slope and into the forest to a creek before arriving at a ridge with a modest campground. The route levels off before ascending to a shepherd's cottage called Chipla on another ridge. We ascend past two small streams before switching back up the ridge through the forest to a kharka at 2900 meters and up to a saddle and Unshisha, a little meadow at around 330 meters.

Here, the route meets the ridge that separates the Iswa and Kasuwa drainages. The slope steepens and becomes a series of moss-covered stone stairs leading to Dhara Kharka, a meadow on the hill. We next cross a ridge and descend a little to reach Kauma.

Overnight stays at guesthouses include breakfast, lunch, and supper.

Duration: 7 hours

Today, we leave Kauma and climb hard switchbacks for a bit. We ascend less steeply through rhododendron trees to the ridge's summit, which features a massive mani wall draped with prayer flags.

From here, we get excellent views of Chamlang, Peak 6, and Peak 7. Following the ridge for a bit, we climb a stone stairway. After a few false peaks, the path deviates off the crest to a tiny lake.

We slowly ascend a narrow rocky valley to the Kekela Pass (4127 m). From the crossing, we descend to another lake before ascending sharply via big stones to Shipton La, a 4230-meter pass. We continue down around 150 meters through sparse rhododendron trees to a flat area. The last downhill takes you through a fir and rhododendron woodland before arriving at Dobato for the night.

Duration: 7 hours

We descend a steep slope with a 500-meter torrent. We next turn left, passing through fir trees on the Barun Valley's side. Moving down an ill-defined track, we cross a 200-meter-long slide area before following the river to a Kharka. We arrived at Yangle Kharka after passing through birch and scrub rhododendron trees.

We climb from Yangle Kharka and eventually pass to the north bank of the Barun Khola to reach Nhe Kharka. There is a tiny Gompa on the valley's south side with spectacular mountain views.

Today is our acclimatization day, and we walk Shiva and Parvati Caves, where we can see the spectacular vista of the Barun Valley, as well as the stunning views of Peak 3 and Peak 7.

Duration: 6 hours

We continue along the north bank of the Barun Khola after passing through the Nhe Kharka. We then cross a tiny wooden bridge before the river curves north. The Barun Valley forms a massive S-shaped curve, with walls rising nearly vertically 1500 to 2000 meters above the river, although the route gradually climbs as we reach Ripok Kharka. Still, on the north side of the Barun, the route heads west, leaving the rhododendron woods for the alpine tundra.

Above Ripok Kharka, the trail climbs a stony crest with a few goths before ascending along a moraine made by the Barun Glacier. Pyramid Peak, Peak 4, Chamlang, Peak 3, and Peak 5 can all be seen well, but Makalu is still hidden. As we pass a crest, the glacier curves slightly north. We reach an alluvial valley and continue walking to Langma Le, where we will spend the night.

Duration: 7 hours

We hike from Langma-le to Sherson Kharka, staying to the right in a gully on the valley's east side. The ascent is gentle, leading to a little pass around 100 meters above Makalu Base Camp.

We next descend to a creek and cross it on boulders to reach our base camp on the river's west side. From here, we get spectacular views of Makalu's south face. A massive buttress on the south face rises across from the base camp. Ascending this buttress provides views of Peaks 6, 7, and Baruntse (7220 m), with Everest and Lhotse completing the vista.

After lunch, we trek to the Hillary camp and back.

Duration: 6-7 hours

Today, we will have an early breakfast and climb to the Makalu View Point, where we will witness spectacular views of Mt. Makalu, Barunste, Lhoste, Mount Everest, and many other mountains. Additionally, the Makalu Glacier is entirely visible.

Duration: 6-7 hours

Today, we retrace our travels down the Barun Valley to Nhe Kharka. Overnight stays at guesthouses

Duration: 5 hours

Today's walk will be a wonderful, stroll down the river to the tea house at Themathang, passing through several rhododendron plants along the way. Just before Themathang, a wooden bridge must be traversed. The travel to Themathang will take around 1.5 hours. The landslide zone will eventually have to be navigated, which will take around 1.5 hours. After a length of undulation, you will begin a strenuous climb through the rhododendron woods. Along the Makalu Base Camp Trek Route, the height progressively decreases as you approach closer to the tea house in Dobate.

Duration: 7 hours

Today we trek to Dhad Kharka, crossing across Shipton La, 4230 Pass, and Kekela Pass (4127 meters).

Duration: 6-7 hours

Travel to Seduwa village via Tashi Gaun. From Tashi Gaun, you'll see terraced farmland and beautiful mountain views. After leaving Makalu-Barun National Park, you will climb a slope, descend the Barun River, pass through bamboo and rhododendron forests, and arrive in Seduwa, where you will spend the night in a local lodge.

 Duration: 4 hours Walk - 6 hours Drive

The journey down to the Arun River will be lengthy and challenging, with the majority of the steps being made of stone. As you descend deeper into the forest, the temperature will rise significantly. After crossing the river, you'll need to climb to Cham-la Kharka. Then Drive to Tumlingtar's picturesque surroundings along Nepal's winding mountain roads. In addition to the beautiful scenery of snow-capped mountains and lush greenery, you'll encounter hillside communities and terrace farms. Now that you've completed the arduous but gratifying Makalu Base Camp Trek, you may celebrate yourself.
