Overview

Being one of the most well-liked spots for trekkers as a less crowded route, Arun Valley trekking could be one of the best selections to enjoy nature and culture. This trek space is found between the world's highest Mt. Everest and Makalu-Barun Parkland. This naturally blessed place has plenty of guests coming there because it is endowed with a fascinating and vivid aspect of natural beauty and culture. This trekking route is choked with a mystic range of mountain views, including Everest, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Amadablam, Mt. Thamserku, etc.
everything
This region is made of flora and fauna, as there are over 625 species of birds and over 750 species of butterflies, as well as the shelter of the rare and vulnerable Panda. Here, completely different sorts of flowers bloom to form pleasant and divine surroundings that contain orchids and different flowers among many. The swirl prayer flag at Shipton La provides a sense of spirituality because it is even mentioned to assist the mind and spirit to be calm and peaceful. Trekking in the Arun Valley provides another approach to the Khumbu region trekking. To be nearer to Makalu Mountain, we can ascend to the north of Arun and cross Barun La (4110 m) into the higher Barun Khola. Trekking this space requires full stamina and fitness to explore the mesmerizing and fantastic thing about this area, which has dazzling mountain views. Arun Valley Salpa Pass Trekking is also a wonderful way to explore the beautiful nature of Nepal.

After the short flight to Tumlingtar to the east of Mount Everest, our first week is occupied with browsing through the untouched territory of the Solu Khumbu region. Now, there is a rough road access to the Salpa Phedi (3,000m) from Tumlingtar via Chyawabesi (250m), Gothe Bazaar (800m), Dobhane (1800m), which takes 5 to 6 hours, and Guranse (2,880m) from Salpa Phadi and the road has connected to Chheskam and Bung (1,730m) from Kangel airport.

Follow the Mount Everest path to Kala Pattar for breathtaking views of Everest Base Camp, Nuptse, and several other mountain peaks. Then, trekkers can either take a flight to Kathmandu or return to Kathmandu through Jiri if they have enough time, after a journey back to Lukla. Arun Valley Trekking Trail is amazingly wonderful, as one gets to experience a lot of flora and fauna residing on it.
