Makalu Region Region

The Makalu Region, located in eastern Nepal, is one of the country's most remote and unspoiled mountain landscapes. Dominated by the majestic Mount Makalu (8,463 m), the fifth-highest mountain in the world, the region is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty and rich biodiversity. Protected within the Makalu Barun National Park, this remarkable area showcases an extraordinary range of ecosystems, stretching from lush subtropical forests and deep river valleys to alpine meadows, towering glaciers, and rugged high-altitude passes. Its dramatic elevation changes create a unique environment that supports diverse wildlife, rare plant species, and some of the most spectacular Himalayan scenery in Nepal.
