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.
