Fly from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar, a 45-minute flight east across the foothills to an airstrip in the Arun valley at about 400 m. On a clear morning you see Makalu and Everest from the plane. Tumlingtar is hot and humid compared with Kathmandu, so keep water handy. Your agency meets you, and you transfer to a hotel in town or continue to Khandbari. Spend the afternoon checking permits, packing and resting. If the flight is delayed by cloud, keep your plans flexible, because Tumlingtar flights are among the first to be cancelled.

概要
Kathmanduから出発峠：Shipton La16日間 · 最高 4,830 m
ベストシーズン：Mar–May, Oct–Nov · 許可証：Makalu Barun National Park entry permit, TIMS card where required
The Makalu Base Camp trek is a 16-day journey into the Barun valley of Sankhuwasabha District, ending at the base camp of Makalu, the fifth-highest mountain in the world at roughly 8,480 m. This plan flies from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar, drives to Seduwa, then climbs through Tashigaon and Khongma Danda, crosses the Shipton La at about 4,250 m and follows the Barun Khola through Yangle Kharka and Langmale Kharka to base camp at about 4,830 m. After a rest day at the top you return the same way and fly back. The trek is inside Makalu Barun National Park and needs the park permit and a licensed guide is strongly advised. It covers about 94 km on foot with about 6,000 m of climbing and suits fit trekkers who are comfortable with remote trails, basic lodges and a few nights above 4,000 m. October to November and March to May are the best months.
What the trek is like
The trail begins at Seduwa, about 1,600 m, and climbs steadily on stone steps through millet and cardamom fields, then oak and rhododendron forest to Tashigaon, a Rai village on a ridge. A steep climb of about 1,500 m takes you to Khongma Danda, where lodges sit on a ridge with views of Makalu, Chamlang and Baruntse. The Shipton La is a modest pass, and the walk drops to Dobate and then follows the Barun Khola through fir, birch and juniper to Yangle Kharka, a seasonal meadow. Above it the valley opens, and Langmale Kharka and the base camp sit under the south face of Makalu. The return follows the same route in shorter, easier days.
Highlights
- Makalu Base Camp and the view of the pyramid of Makalu and Chamlang
- Shipton La, with views of the Makalu and Kanchenjunga ranges on a clear day
- Forest that changes from rhododendron to birch and juniper within a few days
- Rai villages with millet terraces, bamboo houses and local festivals
- Quiet trails and few other trekkers
Permits and rules
You need the Makalu Barun National Park entry permit, which is bought through your agency or at the park checkpoint, and a TIMS card where the local office asks for it. Makalu is generally treated as a national park trek, not a restricted area, but rules for border districts have been changing, and a 2026 press report about controlled areas in 13 districts is worth checking with a registered agency. The Nepal Tourism Board April 2023 rule requires foreign trekkers to use a licensed guide in national parks and conservation areas, and 2026 operator reports say checkpoints enforce it in Annapurna (ACAP), Langtang (the strictest) and most other parks, but not in Khumbu, where the municipality opted out (checked 19 October 2026). See the guide rule by region. Ask for current fees and check them with the park office or the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation.
Best season
October and November are the best: stable weather, clear views and the harvest in the villages. April and May bring rhododendron and warmer days, and the Shipton La is usually open. March can have snow on the pass. The monsoon has leeches, landslides and cloud, and winter is very cold, with deep snow above Khongma Danda.
Altitude
The first big gain is from Tashigaon (about 2,120 m) to Khongma Danda (3,600 m), so take it slowly and drink plenty. The pass and Dobate (3,860 m) are a modest step, Yangle Kharka (3,630 m) is lower again and Langmale Kharka (4,440 m) and the base camp (4,830 m) are the highest sleeps. This plan includes a rest day at base camp, and many agencies add another at Langmale Kharka. Watch for headache, nausea and poor sleep, never ascend with symptoms, and descend if they worsen. Discuss altitude medicine with your doctor.
Getting there and away
Fly Kathmandu to Tumlingtar (about 45 minutes), then take a jeep via Khandbari and Num to Seduwa in 4 to 5 hours. At the end, the jeep returns from Seduwa to Tumlingtar, and you fly back the next morning. Flights are weather dependent, so keep a buffer day. If planes do not fly, the overland route from Kathmandu or Biratnagar takes about 20 hours.
Lodges, food and costs
Lodges at Seduwa, Tashigaon, Khongma Danda, Dobate, Yangle Kharka and Langmale Kharka offer simple rooms, blankets and dal bhat, noodles and tea. At base camp there is a small teahouse and a camping area. Facilities are basic, and agencies often carry tents and a cook for the upper valley. Prices rise with altitude, and you should carry enough cash for the whole trek.
Packing list
Broken-in boots, waterproof layers, a down jacket, a sleeping bag rated to about minus 15 C, gloves, hat, sunglasses, gaiters, trekking poles, a headlamp, water purification and a first-aid kit. Add leech socks for wet months and microspikes for early spring.
Who this trek suits and how to prepare
The trek suits fit trekkers with some multi-day experience who like quiet, remote trails. Prepare with hill walking, stair climbing and some days with a loaded pack. The first climb to Khongma Danda is steep, and descents are hard on the knees.
The plan at a glance
Day 1 flies to Tumlingtar and day 2 drives to Seduwa. Days 3 to 8 walk to Tashigaon, Khongma Danda, Dobate, Yangle Kharka, Langmale Kharka and base camp. Day 9 is a rest day at base camp. Days 10 to 14 return to Yangle Kharka, Dobate, Khongma Danda, Tashigaon and Seduwa, day 15 drives to Tumlingtar and day 16 flies to Kathmandu.
Extensions
Add a day at Khongma Danda for acclimatisation, an extra night at Langmale Kharka, or a walk to the Barun Pokhari lake near base camp. Experienced trekkers with technical gear and a specialist agency can continue over the Sherpani Col or the Tutu La toward the Everest region, but those routes need full expedition support.
Practical tips from the trail
- Walking times in the day plan are estimates from distance and climb, checked against operator itineraries; real times differ with pace, load and weather.
- Start early on the climb to Khongma Danda, and keep a steady pace.
- Keep a warm layer and a rain shell in your day bag from Dobate onward.
- Carry small notes, as villages have no machines.
- Check the weather before the Shipton La, because snow can close it.
- Book your return flight with flexible dates.
Responsible trekking
Take rubbish out, camp only where your agency has permission, and avoid fires and cutting wood in the park. Ask before photographing people, and walk clockwise around mani walls and chortens.

日ごとの行程
前の晩より1,210 m高い場所に泊まります。一般的な目安の500 mを超えています。ゆっくり進み、水をたっぷり飲み、頭痛や吐き気に注意してください。
Drive from Tumlingtar through Khandbari and Num, crossing the Arun river and climbing through terraced hills to Seduwa at about 1,610 m. The jeep ride takes 4 to 5 hours on a rough road with views of rice, millet and cardamom fields and Rai farmhouses. Seduwa is a ridge village and the start of the trail, with lodges and a national park checkpost where your permits are checked. Meet your porters, sort the loads and enjoy the cool air. The first walking day begins tomorrow.
前の晩より510 m高い場所に泊まります。一般的な目安の500 mを超えています。ゆっくり進み、水をたっぷり飲み、頭痛や吐き気に注意してください。
The trail leaves Seduwa and climbs gently through rhododendron, oak and bamboo forest to Tashigaon at about 2,120 m. The day is about 8 km with a climb of 530 m, taking 3.5 to 4 hours, and it follows a ridge with views of Makalu on clear days. Tashigaon is a Rai village of bamboo and stone houses with homestays and lodges, a school and a gompa. Rest, drink water and prepare for the steep day ahead. Leeches can appear in wet weather, so carry salt or repellent.
前の晩より1,480 m高い場所に泊まります。一般的な目安の500 mを超えています。ゆっくり進み、水をたっぷり飲み、頭痛や吐き気に注意してください。
A steep climb from Tashigaon to Khongma Danda at about 3,600 m. The route is only 6 km but gains about 1,530 m, so allow 5 to 6 hours and go slowly. The path rises through rhododendron and fir forest with views opening on the Barun valley, and the air becomes cold. Khongma Danda is a ridge with a few lodges and a view of Makalu, Chamlang and Baruntse. Put on warm layers, eat well and sleep early. Watch for headache and poor sleep after this big gain.
Walk along the ridge and over the Shipton La, at about 4,250 m, before descending to Dobate at about 3,860 m. The day is about 7 km, with a climb of 770 m and a descent of 530 m, taking 3.5 to 5 hours. The pass has views of the Makalu and Kanchenjunga ranges on a clear day and can be icy in spring and late autumn. Dobate is a small seasonal settlement with a teahouse in a forest clearing. The air is cold, so keep your down jacket within reach.
Descend through fir and rhododendron forest from Dobate to the Barun Khola and follow it to Yangle Kharka at about 3,630 m, about 9 km in 3.5 to 4 hours. The trail crosses side streams on log bridges and passes Mumbuk, with views of waterfalls and cliffs. Yangle Kharka is a large seasonal meadow with lodges and yak herders' huts, and the first place with open views of the upper valley. You have lost some altitude, which helps sleep. Walk around the meadow in the afternoon and rest.
前の晩より810 m高い場所に泊まります。一般的な目安の500 mを超えています。ゆっくり進み、水をたっぷり飲み、頭痛や吐き気に注意してください。
Climb up the Barun valley from Yangle Kharka to Langmale Kharka at about 4,440 m. The day is about 8 km, with a climb of 810 m, and takes 4 to 5 hours. The trail passes through juniper and rhododendron scrub, then open moraine slopes with Chamlang in view. Langmale Kharka is a stone teahouse and camping area with a cold, windswept feel. Drink water, eat well and rest early. Tomorrow you reach base camp, the highest point of the trek.
The final climb to Makalu Base Camp at about 4,830 m follows the moraine above the Barun glacier, a route of about 8.5 km with 470 m of climbing, taking 3 to 4 hours. You pass the Merek area and the lakes near the glacier, and the south face of Makalu rises ahead. The base camp has a small teahouse and a camping area, and it is cold and windy. Take photographs in the afternoon light, hydrate and sleep warmly. Watch for any symptoms of altitude sickness.
A rest day at base camp. Spend it walking gently around the camp and the nearby lakes, taking photographs and enjoying the mountain views, while keeping an easy pace. There is no need to climb higher, and many trekkers feel the altitude here, so drink water, eat well and listen to your body. Use the quiet time to dry gear and talk with your guide about the return. Nights are very cold, so keep your sleeping bag and a hot water bottle.
Retrace your steps from base camp down the Barun valley to Yangle Kharka at about 3,630 m, a long descent of about 16 km with a loss of 1,320 m, taking 4 to 6 hours. The air thickens as you descend, and you may feel stronger and hungrier. The trail passes Langmale Kharka and the moraine slopes, and you can enjoy views that you missed on the way up. Yangle Kharka's lodges offer hot food and a warm room. Use poles to spare your knees.
Walk from Yangle Kharka back to Dobate at about 3,860 m, about 9 km with a climb of 670 m and a descent of 450 m, taking 3.5 to 5 hours. You return through forest and cross the streams on log bridges. Dobate is a small clearing with a teahouse, and the air is cold. The ascent is a reminder of how much you have walked down, but the pace is gentle. Keep warm layers on, because temperatures fall quickly in the afternoon.
Cross the Shipton La again, from Dobate to Khongma Danda at about 3,600 m, about 7 km with a climb of 540 m and a descent of 770 m, taking 3 to 4 hours. The weather on the pass can change quickly, so start early and check conditions with your guide. The ridge walk has views of the Makalu range and the Arun valley in good weather. Khongma Danda's lodges are cold but comfortable, and the next day is a long downhill.
A long descent from Khongma Danda to Tashigaon at about 2,120 m, about 6 km with a drop of 1,550 m, taking 2.5 to 3.5 hours. The steep steps are hard on the knees, so use poles and take short breaks. The forest gets thicker and warmer as you descend, and you may see rhododendron and bamboo again. Tashigaon is a pleasant Rai village for a hot meal and a rest. Leeches may be present in wet weather. The effort is rewarded by thicker, warmer air.
Walk from Tashigaon down to Seduwa at about 1,610 m, about 8 km and 500 m of descent in 2 to 3 hours, retracing the ridge trail through forest and fields. It is the last day on foot, so enjoy the views of terraces, bamboo houses and distant peaks. Seduwa's lodges are simple but comfortable, and the village is a good place to thank your porters and crew. Pack your bags, reorganise your gear and enjoy a celebration dinner. The jeep is booked for the morning.
Drive from Seduwa to Tumlingtar, about 4 to 5 hours through Num and Khandbari, the reverse of the first drive. The road winds down through terraced fields and tropical vegetation, and the temperature rises quickly. In Tumlingtar, check in to a hotel near the airport and wash off the trail dust. Spend the afternoon resting and checking your onward flight. If the weather is bad, a spare day is useful, because flights from Tumlingtar are often delayed. Keep your passport and flight tickets within easy reach.
前の晩より1,000 m高い場所に泊まります。一般的な目安の500 mを超えています。ゆっくり進み、水をたっぷり飲み、頭痛や吐き気に注意してください。
Fly from Tumlingtar to Kathmandu, about 45 minutes, and transfer to your hotel. The flight offers a last view of the Himalaya on clear mornings. Back in Kathmandu, you can shower, repack and explore Thamel or Patan. Keep a spare day after the trek in case of flight delays. Tip your guide and porters according to your agency's guidelines, and enjoy a good dinner to celebrate your journey to the foot of Makalu. Keep your passport and permit copies in your hand luggage for the airport checks.

よくある質問
Hard. The trail is remote, with a steep climb to Khongma Danda, long days, basic lodges and several nights above 4,000 m. Previous multi-day trekking experience is advised.
You need the Makalu Barun National Park entry permit.

Confirm with a registered agency.
Sixteen days from Kathmandu on this plan, including the flight to Tumlingtar, a drive to Seduwa, eight walking days up, a rest day at base camp and five days back. Some agencies allow 18 to 20.
About 4,830 m, according to OpenStreetMap, although guides often quote 4,870 m. There is no fixed marker, so figures differ.
October and November, and April and May. The monsoon has leeches and landslides, and the Shipton La can hold snow in March and winter.
Fly Kathmandu to Tumlingtar and take a jeep via Khandbari and Num in 4 to 5 hours. The overland alternative from Kathmandu takes about 20 hours.
