Arun Valley Trekking

67 reviews in TripAdvisor
29 reviews in Google

Bridging the deep, subtropical river gorges of eastern Nepal with the high-altitude trails of the Everest region, the Salpa Pass Trek is an off-the-beaten-path traverse for travelers seeking authentic culture, pristine wilderness, and quiet paths. Starting in the lush lowlands of the Arun Valley (the deepest valley in the world), this journey takes you across terraced farms, ancient mountain passes, and traditional Rai and Sherpa settlements before ending at the gateway of Lukla.

Crossing the sacred Salpa Pass (3,360 m) and high alpine ridgelines like Kari La (3,145 m), you'll experience panoramic views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Makalu, Chamlang, and Mera Peak—all without the heavy trail traffic of Nepal's more commercial routes.

Arun Valley Trekking is a non-touristy trekking trail in Nepal, which is located between Sagarmatha and Makalu Barun National Park. Rugged Trails Nepal organized this camping trek and lodge, which offers a Himalayan scenery view of Mt. Everest, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Baruntse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Ama Dablam, and other Himalayan mountains with more than 600 species of birds and butterflies. Our Arun Valley Trek is also known as the shelter of the rare and endangered panda. While trekking in Arun Valley, we can see the picturesque Sherpa villages and an incredible diversity of natural beauty, culture, and magnificent mountain views.

The Arun Valley trek begins from Tumlingtar, to the east of Everest, after taking a flight from Kathmandu airport. This trek starts from the Solu Khumbu region and ends at Lukla, the popular start of the Everest Base Camp Trek.
