Description:
The Makalu area in eastern Nepal is protected by the
Makalu Barun National Park and Conservation Project.
Established in 1992, it covers 2330 sq km. Among the 16
mountains in the park, it is home to Makalu, the fifth
highest mountain in the world (8463m/ 27,766ft).
The world's fifth highest mountain. Formerly a restricted
area, it spans five major ecological zones where can be
found the lush, tropical Arun Valley, dense forests or
rhododendron and fir and alpine meadows that lead to the
might Barun glacier. From the base camp, any one can view
the spectacular Mt. Makalu.
This mainly low altitude trek is centered on the Arun
Valley, in eastern Nepal. The sub-tropical valley floor of
the mighty Arun River is in places densely forested,
contrasting with the terraced slopes higher up, which are
farmed by villagers of diverse tribal groups. High
pastures typify the upper slopes, which border on the
Makalu-Barun National Park, an important conservation area
for many threatened species.
The trails rise from 850 meters (2,788ft) to 5000 meters
(16,900ft) above sea level.
