Makalu Base Camp

This most interesting trail taking between 28 and 32 days, leads up the Arun Valley and turns north-east into Makalu Base Camp.

The trail extends to extremely remote areas in its upper reaches. It is best undertaken between October and late November before early winter snow cuts off access to the base camp area.

Makalu base camp sits at an altitude of 5,000 metres above sea level.
