Makalu Region Trek

Discover the pristine Makalu Region Trek with Recreation Holidays, featuring either the classic Makalu Base Camp or the demanding Makalu Circuit options that cross high passes like Shipton La and Sherpani Col. Trek in the remote Makalu Barun National Park, with chances to spot red pandas, Himalayan tahr, snow leopards, and over 400 bird species. Enjoy sweeping landscapes from lush forests to alpine meadows, with rare access via camping or basic tea-houses. Ideal trekking windows: spring (Mar–May) and autumn (Sep–Nov), when skies are clear and trails stable. Expect a serious trekking challenge: long days, remote trails, limited services, and elevation gains up to 4,870 m—making guide support advisable for safety. Permits required include Makalu Barun National Park permit plus TIMS card, with strict guidelines for minimum group size and licensed guides.
