The trekking route of the Arun Valley is situated within the Makalu region and boasts a remarkable blend of diverse natural marvels and indigenous traditions. Nestled between two of the world’s highest peaks, Mount Everest (8848 m) and Makalu (8463 m), the Arun Valley is a haven of natural abundance. The towering presence of these Himalayan giants enhances the charm of the serene pathways that wind through the Rai and Sherpa communities along the Arun Valley Trek.
Embarking on the Arun Valley Trek commences with a flight from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar, which serves as the starting point for this remarkable journey. The trek encompasses traversing dense forests adorned with a mix of vegetation, leading to the picturesque Rai and Sherpa villages scattered throughout the Arun Valley. Among the prominent highlights of this adventure is the sacred Salpa Pokhari, a holy pond that attracts Hindu pilgrims from around the globe during the October festivities.
Yet another captivating aspect of the trek is the panoramic view of Chamlang (7321 m) and Makalu (8463 m) visible from the vantage point of Salpa Bhanjyang. The trek encompasses a passage through the Makalu Barun Conservation Area and guides trekkers alongside the Hinku valley, eventually reaching the Sagarmatha National Park through sprawling pastures and small Sherpa communities. Throughout the journey, various Sherpa settlements within the lower and upper Khumbu regions grace the path, including the bustling hub of Khumbu, Namche Bazaar. From the tranquil trails of the Arun Valley to the vibrant towns of the Dudh Koshi valley, the Arun Valley Trek offers a comprehensive experience, allowing trekkers an exclusive opportunity to engage with Rai and Sherpa culture by visiting the numerous temples and monasteries en route.
