  • Hi!

    Thank you Surendra and the team. Our recent trip to Nepal was very well organised by Firante Treks and Expeditions. The planning process was very efficient with good email communications and safe transfer of funds, and rapid confirmation that they had been received. The trek was for 18 days and well organised, and at all times we felt that our safety and comfort was paramount. The inevitable illnesses, cuts and blisters were dealt with very professionally. I would certainly recommend Firante Treks to anyone trekking in Nepal & Tibet.

  • Dear Sonam,

    It was a great pleasure biking with you through Tibet (Lhasa to Kathmandu) September/October 2007. The perfect organisation made the journey in this unique Land to an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much for whole Firante treks & Expeditions team.

  • Namaste Pradhu,
    This is Helga from the Wolfgang-group. You are so nice! This is very kind of you. Well, the group really was happy. You and the cooking staff, service men and the boys have been wonderful ambassadors for Firante Treks: No moods, no bad temper, always helpful and watchful. You all made our trekking to Mt. Kailash a success. Surendra really should know what good crew he has provided. It is really true: This trekking was a memorable one! I am sure, no one of us will forget it.

Makalu Barun Valley Treks

Trip Facts
  • Area: Nepal
  • Activities: Adventure Trekking
  • Duration: 21 days
  • Grade: Difficult
  • Max. Group: 12
  • Min. group: 2
  • Season:

Makalu Barun National Park and conservation area consists of over 1500 sq km, which extends from low ranges at 500 m. to the high Nepal Himalaya at over 8,000 m.

 Most of this protected area is remote wilderness. Because of its diversity it is a fantastic venue for more adventurous nature lovers. More than 3,000 species of flowering plants have been recorded. The wildlife includes the endangered red panda, musk deer, Himalayan black bear, clouded leopard and possibly the snow leopard as well. Over 400 species of birds also thrive here.

This trek is one of the most strenuous treks in Nepal. This route begins with a flight to Tumlingrar and heads towards the trekking destination. With a couple of high altitude passes to be crossed, it is truly for free spirit and adventure. With amazing views of Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Baruntse, Pumori, Amadablam and a host of other peaks it is a true Himalayan escapade. Acclimatization is an essential part of this trek, which reuires some technical climbing. The journey eventually ends from where it started – Tumlingtar, a connection to Kathmandu by air.
