Makalu Trekking
This is culturally and environmentally diverse region and worth to visit. The trial passes through the Makalu National Park and ends at the base camp from which there are fantastic views of Everest, Makalu and Lhotse. As trial goes on higher altitude, one should be ready to face the altitude sickness and diverse weather conditions. Sometime this weather may be the obstacle for the further progress.

Everest This area is blessed with diversity of natural vegetation, culture and life style of local residents.

I’ve just retuned to Kathmandu competing the Annapurna circuit trekking organized by Outshine Adventures. They provide me with an excellent guide Pralhad and porter Hari. They took care of me for over 15 days. First going at the adjective pace and then selecting very good guest house all the way until Pokhara. Pralhad also answered all my too many questions about Nepal, its culture and its people.
