Trek Overview
Arun Valley provides really superb views of both Mt. Everest and Mt. Makalu. It is located between the Sagarmatha and Makalu-Barun National Parks. Trek in this valley provides an alternative approach to the Khumbu region. The trek requires stamina and fitness to fully appreciate the beauty of the region which provides some outstanding mountain views. Commencing with a flight to Lukla to the east of Everest, the first week is spent trekking through virgin territory into the Solukhumbhu region before a push up on the main Everest trail to Kala Pattar for tremendous close-ups of Everest, Nuptse and Lhotse along with many others before a journey back to Tumlingtar and a flight to Kathmandu. An Arun valley trek is still remote but there is availability of teahouses for a small group, and it is easy trek routes following the Arun River.
