개요

출발지: Kathmandu고개: Shipton La16일 · 최고 4,830 m

최적 시즌: Mar–May, Oct–Nov · 퍼밋: 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.

자주 묻는 질문

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. 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). 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.

Yes, simple lodges at Seduwa, Tashigaon, Khongma Danda, Dobate, Yangle Kharka and Langmale Kharka, and a small teahouse and camping area at base camp. Agencies often carry tents and a cook.
