Makalu lies to the east of Kathmandu, which takes you through some of the most captivating
landscapes in the country. You will be walking through the rhododendron forests and Sherpa villages
with the opportunity to watch their traditions and cultures from up close. The Sherpa people of
this region are different from the Sherpa in the Everest region. During the trail you can also see four
different peaks that are over 8,000m such as Mt. Everest the world's highest (8,848m), Kanchanjunga
2nd highest (8,598m.), Lhotse 3rd highest (8,501m.), and Makalu 4th highest (8,463m). The trek to this
area starts either from Hile or from Tumlingtar.
