An adventure off the beaten road is the Makalu Base Camp Trek<\/a> (8,481m) in Nepal’s Himalayas. Compared to more popular trekking routes in Nepal, it is further, more rugged, and more physically demanding. Most hikers spend at least 8 days on the Makalu Basecamp route to reach the summit at 5,050 meters. Then, on a 5\u20136-day journey back out, hikers must follow their exact same route as they came in. Unlike Everest Base Camp<\/a>, where the peak is somewhat obscured from view, at the base camp you actually sit at the base of Makalu and get a clear view of the mountain. You can see the dawn every morning over the peak of the fifth-tallest mountain in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rai people are an ethnic group that is primarily found in the hills of eastern Nepal. The journey begins in warm, terraced farmland where they live. The rhododendron and cloud forests, as well as some of Nepal’s few remaining pristine forest and alpine meadows, will be encountered as the path climbs. Rhododendron woods are particularly stunning in the spring when the blossoms bloom in amazing red, purple, pink, and white. As you travel farther into the highlands, past the Barun River Valley, you will come across glaciers, steep granite cliffs, and breathtaking waterfalls. The Sherpa people, a Tibetan ethnic group that predominately lives close to Everest, are found at higher altitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
