The Makalu region, located in eastern Nepal, is a still little-known but spectacular destination for nature and trekking enthusiasts. Dominated by the majestic Mount Makalu (8,485 m), the fifth highest peak in the world, this region offers breathtaking landscapes, ranging from dense subtropical forests to wild glacial valleys. Makalu-Barun National Park, rich in biodiversity, is home to remarkable wildlife, including red pandas, snow leopards, and numerous bird species. Less visited than the popular Annapurna or Everest routes, the region charms with its authenticity, isolated villages, and traditional cultures, notably Sherpa, Rai, and Limbu. It is a land of pure adventure, reserved for travelers seeking silence, solitude, and natural grandeur.
