Wild orchids growing right on the trees along the trail near Num village at 1,560m was not something I expected. The lower Makalu Base Camp Trek section was so tropical and lush. Our guide knew every flower and plant and made the walk feel like a botany lesson. He was so full of knowledge about the Makalu Barun National Park ecosystem. Himalaya Hub is a Kathmandu trekking agency and their eastern Nepal expertise is really special. Less crowded trek Nepal and more beautiful than I ever imagined.
On clear days you can see Everest, Lhotse, Kanchenjunga, Makalu and Baruntse all at once. Our guide pointed them all out and named every one. I felt so small and so lucky. Himalaya Hub is a reliable tour operator in Nepal. Amazing experience in eastern Nepal.

Tashigaon to Wilderness Adventure
Tashigaon at 2,070m was the last permanent village before the wilderness really began. After that it was just mountains and forests and silence. Our guide prepared us well for the remote section ahead. He was so experienced and calm. Himalaya Hub is a professional trekking company and their support beyond the last village was excellent. Camping in the Barun Valley with those massive peaks around us was something else. Knowledgeable guides and porters who worked so hard every single day.
The Sherpa village of Seduwa at 1,500m welcomed us so warmly. A lady came out and offered us fresh tea before we even stopped. Our guide laughed and said this is how we do it here. Himalaya Hub is a trusted trekking company in Nepal. The cultural side of the Makalu Base Camp Trek surprised me as much as the mountains. Best trekking company in Nepal for people who love both nature and culture.

Unreal Views of Mount Makalu
Mount Makalu at 8,485m from base camp looked so unreal. Sharp black rock covered in snow and ice. Our guide told us about the first ascent and it made standing there feel even more special. He was brilliant at bringing the mountains to life with stories. Himalaya Hub is one of the best trekking agencies in Nepal and their guides are truly knowledgeable. The whole Makalu Base Camp Trekking experience was raw and wild and perfect. Safe and well organized the whole way.
