Overview
Arun Valley Trek offers one of the best trekking experiences in Nepal. Indulge in an offbeat trek along the foothills of Mt. Makalu located beside the crowded Everest trail. Enjoy the natural sights of the snowcapped peaks, Mount Everest, Chamlang, Makalu, Baruntse, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Thamserku.
Arun Valley, also known as the deepest valley in the world, lies amidst the towering Mahalangur Himal in the west and Makalu in the east.
