Crossing Salpa Bhanjyang at 3,414m was magical. The sacred pass had prayer flags and mani stones everywhere. Our guide told us about the ancient trading route to Tibet that pilgrims have used for centuries. Himalaya Hub is a professional trekking company and they included so many cultural stops along the way. The views of Kanchenjunga at 8,586m from the pass were breathtaking. This is an off the beaten path trek in Nepal and I loved every quiet moment of it.
No crowds. No noise. Just mountains and forest. The Arun Valley Trek Nepal is everything the busy Everest trail is not. Himalaya Hub is a professional trekking company that knows this hidden route well. Our guide was excellent. Life changing trek in eastern Nepal.

Warm Rai Village Cultural Trek Experience
The Rai community villages along the Arun Valley Trek were so warm and welcoming. In Marduwa at 1,500m a family invited us for tea and homemade bread. Our guide translated and laughed with them like old friends. Himalaya Hub is a local trekking operator and their connection to these communities is special. I felt like a real guest not just a tourist. Eastern Nepal trekking is so different from the busy Everest trail. Best guide in Nepal experience.

Between Everest and Makalu Trek View
Standing between Mount Everest at 8,848m and Mount Makalu at 8,463m is not something many trekkers get to say. The Arun Valley Trek gave us that. Our guide was brilliant at pointing out every peak and telling us the climbing history. He was so proud of his mountains. Himalaya Hub is a reliable tour operator in Nepal and they chose the best viewpoints on the route. The Makalu Barun National Park section was wild and untouched. Highly recommended trekking company for serious nature lovers.
Salpa Pokhari holy lake at 3,443m felt so sacred and peaceful. Local pilgrims were there praying and the whole atmosphere was beautiful. Our guide explained the significance of the lake quietly and respectfully. Himalaya Hub is a trusted trekking company in Nepal. The Arun Valley Trekking route took us to places I never expected to find. Great service from start to finish.
