The region is still untouched and undisturbed by many trekkers. The strenuous trail is surrounded by flora and fauna, and unique cultural sites. The far journey to remote Mt. Makalu via the Arun valley makes an unforgettable experience. The beautiful rhododendrons and wildlife can be seen in abundance along the trail. The region is conserved by the Makalu-Barun National Park, which has an area of 2330 sq.km. in eastern Nepal.

Our Camping System
Our camping treks are managed by a team of professionally trained Sherpas with the leader/guide responsible for all aspects of the running of the trek. A trek-day starts around 6 a.m. with a cup of tea/coffee. Soon a bowl of warm water is provided for washing. After packing your duffel and daypack breakfast will be served. The day's trek starts around 7.30 a.m. porter/pack animals carry all camp equipment, food and duffel bags. All you need to carry in your daypack are water bottle, rain/wind jacket, camera and other small items you The morning's walk to the lunch spot takes about 3 hours. In Nepal we usually stop for a hot lunch on the way as a Tibetan picnic style.
After hiking for 3-4 hrs. in the afternoon our camp is usually reached between 3-4 p.m. In the late afternoon and evening you can relax, wash, read or take a walk nearby. The evening meal is served between 6 to 7 p.m. in the dining tent (or dining room on a Lodge- Trek). After dinner the leader/guide will brief trekkers on the next day's hike.

Fuel for Cooking
We use kerosene fuel for all clients and staff on all our camping treks. When we use local services like lodges we patronize and encourage those lodges who have adopted ecologically safe methods in use of fuel and waste management - thereby encouraging other lodges to implement similar, or better, methods.

Trekking in any of those National Park areas requires a park permit, which can be obtained at the national parks and conservation counter office on payment of NRs 1000 each. Similarly, trekkers are required to pay NRs. 2000 for every trekker going to the Annapurna and Makalu region. This fee is utilized for environmental conservation and maintenance of the area.
