The Makalu Base Camp is part of the Makalu-Barun Valley in Sankhuwasabha district of Nepal. It is a glacier valley in the Himalayas, offering stunning views of several mountain peaks such as Everest, Lhotse, Baruntse, Chamlang and, of course, Makalu.
Since not many foreign travelers visit Makalu Base Camp, you can expect to see and experience authentic mountain culture and traditions. But Makalu does test the trekkers to their absolute limit before offering itself. Along the way you will journey through the lush forests, tiny mountain hamlets, meadows and waterfalls. And if you are lucky, you might even chance upon the local wildlife including the elusive red panda and even leopards.
This 14-day Makalu Base Camp itinerary is therefore a unique blend of breathtaking nature, culture and adventure.

How much money do I need to bring with me?
Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.
- Is quarantine in Nepal in effect for arriving visitors?

How much should my backpack weigh?
A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.
- Do I need a porter?
-
Do I require a porter for carrying water?
On most popular treks you can expect plenty of places where you can refill your water bottle, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge water supply with you. Bring an extra bottle of water if you are concerned. If you already have a porter, you can ask him/her to carry water as long as it is within the weight limit. Another option is to carry water purification tablets or LifeStraw, both of which can be found in Kathmandu.
