Makalu is wild and remote, a magical monarch of the Himalaya rarely visited by trekkers. From base camp Makalu is astounding – a soaring, unruly face etched with fantastic buttresses, glittering glaciers and jagged ridges. The mighty giant exudes and awesome power, standing aloof and dominant. High passes and dense impenetrable forests hide the many secret treasures of nature.
A new route, the Yeti Foot Trail, has been forged through the pristine, deeply cut canyon of the Barun Khola to entice the adventures.
Including outline details of the Lumbasumba, Chamlang and Arun Valley trails, this is the 5th Edition of the definitive introduction to the Makalu region.
