Makalu is the fifth highest mountain in the world at 8,485 metres (27,838 ft).

Fun part of this EBC Arun valley trekking package is acclimatization on route & wider exploration of the trekking route. Arun valley is off the beaten trekking route whereas Everest (Khumbu Valley) is a famous trekking destination in Nepal. Saying that, a trekker doing EBC Arun valley trekking route can experience both – off the beaten trail as well as world famous trail – to get to the basecamp of Mount Everest.

We recommend the Arun Valley trek to those travelers who have already been to the Everest region at least once before. However, as a first time trekker in the region, you will have great trekking experience.

The scenery of stunning Arun valley along with the River flowing by, gives your body energy to carry on walking for multiple hours. EBC Arun Valley trekking is located East of Everest, and it is leading to Makalu Base Camp.

This less-touristic trail of the lower Everest region provides eye-catching views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Barunse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Choyo, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Amadablam, Mt. Thamserku and many other white capped mountains. Although the view is from a distance.

Hiking on EBC Arun Valley trekking route gives you a chance to experience the wild life of Makalu-Barun National park and Sagarmatha national park in one trek.

Along this easier and less crowded trail is the inhabitant of 800 species of butterflies, over 650 species of birds, and various different species of other animals including the rare red panda. Hindu people’s holy pond called Salpa Pokhari (3414m) is another major attraction on this trail, although mostly you can see Buddhist flags and monasteries and many MANES on the way.

    Culture & Nature of EBC Arun Valley Trekking

    Sherpa, Rai, Tamang, Chhetri, Brahmin and Limbu are the major communities living in this region. You’ll be happy to witness their unique lifestyle and cultural diversity as we walk through the numerous villages. Arun River is flowing between two high mountains: Mt. Makalu 8463 meters and Mt. Kanchanjunga 8586 meters. This trek is diverse in the ethnicity, vegetation, and wildlife as we walk from one national park to another. The change in the landscape from Tumlingtar to Lukla is really astonishing.

    Best seasons for the Arun Valley trekking are September to December and February to May. However, if you want to experience something different and don’t have a problem waking up early in the morning, we suggest doing this trek during the off season – in the monsoon or in winter.
