The Makalu Region, home to Mt. Makalu (8,485 m) — the world’s fifth-highest mountain — is one of Nepal’s most remote and pristine trekking destinations. Nestled within the Makalu-Barun National Park, this region is celebrated for its incredible biodiversity, dramatic landscapes, and untouched wilderness. Trekkers can journey through lush subtropical forests, alpine meadows, high mountain passes, and glacial terrains, experiencing everything from rare orchids to snow leopards along the way.
