# 26
- Makalu Base Camp
- 20 Days of
Trekking over high passes to Makalu Base Camp
Maximum Elevation 5000 metres (16,405 feet)
-
- The trek to
Makalu base camp visits one of the most remote and unfrequented areas of
Nepal. The Barun Valley is part of a huge international protected area under
an agreement between Nepal and China. The trek crosses several high passes
as it climbs into the remote Barun Valley at the foot of Makalu, the world's
fifth highest mountain.
-
- This area was
once threatened by a dam project on the upper reaches of the Arun River. The
World Bank cancelled its support of this project in August, 1995, so this
region will retain its unique character that includes interesting villages
and wildlife.
