"Trekking to ‘HIGER LIMITS’ in the shadow of the worlds 5th highest mountain within supreme wilderness amidst the beauty of nature never experienced before."

This adventurous journey takes off from the lowest valley in the world, reaching its highest elevation at the base of Mt. Makalu, the fifth highest mountain in the world at (8,481m). This trek offers one of the most impressive, outstanding scenery from the lush, tropical greens of Arun Valley, up to the high uninhabited ice fields of Mt. Makalu, the fifth highest mountain in the world, situated in the north east of Nepal. The trek starts from Arun Valley, traveling through the rural areas, complete with charming medieval traditional markets and farm villages. This walk follows a striking, yet rarely trekked route, which offers views of Mt. Makalu and Kanchenjunga all the way. And even more stunning views of the Mt. Khumbakarna Range as you enter the Barun valley of Makalu basin. From here, the trek passes over the yak pastures beneath the Makalu's immense south face along with the great view of one of the rare east (Kanshung) face of Mt. Everest. This trek offers the prospect to visit cloud-forest jungle, high alpine terrain, orchids, and rural farm and market villages. From there, the trek follows the ridge above the Arun River, anticipated site for the largest hydroelectric plant in Nepal. Passing through yak pastures towards the endless ice fields of Mt. Makalu. Views of the Kanchenjunga peak, Everest, Lhotse, Baruntse and Chamlang and as well the rarely seen Kanshung face of Everest, grace us with their magnificent views throughout this trip. We return through secluded Sherpa villages back to Tumlingtar for the final phase of the trip; a beautifully striking flight below the Nepalese Himalaya.
