Recently opened in 1988, the vast tracts of wonderful foothill and alpine country in eastern Nepal can now be visited. It is reached by daily scheduled flight to Biratnager. A high and ever-ascending ride line, the Milke Danda, separates the two main river basins in far eastern Nepal.
The Arun River cuts through from Tibet leaving the Makalu Massif (8,463 m) towering above the western and southern flanks of the mighty Kanchenjunga (8,586 m). Both these great rivers join the Sapta Koshi - the largest river to drain Nepal.
- Makalu Base Camp Trekking
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. This trek, considered as one non-tourist area leads you to places which are famous for its unique flora and fauna. You will see the Makalu (8.481m) which is the fifth highest mountain of the world!
