Beginning of our journey from Tumlingtar

As we continue to Nehe Kharka, proper acclimatization is essential due to the increasing altitude. This beautiful area in Barun Valley is a haven of natural beauty.

We’ll then pass through Shershon and arrive at Makalu Base Camp. After exploring the area, we’ll begin our descent to Nehe Kharka, followed by a short hike to the stunning Shipton La Pass (4,250m). This pass offers spectacular sunset views over the mountains.

Our journey concludes with a return trek to Sedhuwa, then Khandbari, and finally a scenic hike back to Tumlingtar. From there, we’ll catch a flight back to Kathmandu, cherishing the memories of an unforgettable trek.
