ROUTES IN THE EAST
 The Arun River and Makalu Base Camp route is one of the wilder
treks in the country, and it is necessary to bring along one's
own tent and food. One treks up the Arun River close to the
Tibetan border and then east toward the foot of Makalu. As one
approaches Makalu, one definitely leaves the civilization
behind.
Another trek in the Far East brings one near to the foothills
of Kanchenjunga. This is one of the few newer treks, which the
government has wisely limited to organized groups. The forests
one passes through are pristine and will be able to stand only
limited damage from visitors. This, too, is a trek beyond the
villages. If you choose this trek, be sure to respect the
natural environment of this lovely area.
MAKALU - THE FIFTH HIGHEST MT. IN THE WORLD: 21 DAYS
Max. Elevation 4,823m. - Season: Spring, Autumn - Moderate to
Strenuous
 Before we actually start trek, first we fly to Tumlingtar
(937m) from where the trek starts to the Base Camp. We follow
the
Arun River and pass through the picturesque villages like
SEDUA and NUM. After crossing the Barun Pass (4,110m) we reach
the upper valley of Barun Khola, which offers a magnificent
view of mighty MAKALU (8,463m) and CHAMLANG (7,317m) and
ultimately the trail takes us to the Base Camp. Our way back
trek will be to follow the same route but we camp at different
villages. As this trek involves high altitude, trekkers will
have to be physically fit. One with previous trekking
experience in Nepal is a plus point.
