It is preferable to hire a local guide to lead the way. Follow your guide, and he or she will keep you informed of any updates and ensure that you have a safe experience Makalu base camp trekking.

Along with this, the first issue that might arise while traversing the High Himalayas is altitude sickness. At an altitude of 2,500 to 3,000 meters, it is normal for our bodies to exhibit the basic symptoms. You should be ready for this sort of circumstance and you may contact trained guides for it. They will behave in accordance with your safety being their main concern. Similar to this, the majority of the itineraries include resting and acclimatization time (if necessary) before climbing to a greater height throughout the journey.

While dividing the lower-level treks from those of the higher ones, it also takes altitude and possibly dangerous path parts into consideration. Anywhere in the world, the general level of journey complexity may be generically classified into complexity levels. Thus, you must get ready for this physically and emotionally. Before going on a trek, you should engage in some form of physical activity, such as jogging, running, swimming, climbing, etc.

Food and Accommodation During the Makalu base camp trek

The accommodation for the Makalu Base Camp Trek is quite minimal. Along the walk, you’ll come across local teahouses. Comparatively speaking, Num, Sedua, and Tashi villages have superior teahouses to other locations. In the rooms of teahouses, there are beds with blankets and pillows. The blanket might not be warm enough, so make sure to pack your own sleeping bag. Rooms with an attached bathroom and a hot shower are not available.

However, they will supply a bucket of hot water upon request for an additional fee. The majority of teahouses provide twin-sharing and dorm-style accommodations. Additionally, they can hold 10 to 12 people at once. If you have a large party, it is preferable to bring additional camping equipment in case you don’t locate any lodging.

Squat toilets and low doors will be present at one of these locales, so be prepared.

Teahouses in the Makalu base cmap trek  region are modest, and their meal menu is no different. It consists of Daal Bhaat, a traditional dish from Nepal made of rice, lentils, and curry, as well as noodles and rotis.

How to get to Makalu Base Camp trek

The Makalu base camp trek region is located in the Eastern part of Nepal, therefore getting there will take more than a week. The usual starting point is Sankhuwasabha’s Chichila Rural Municipality, which is located around 537 kilometers from Kathmandu.

If you want to go by air, the flight to Tumlingtar, Sankhuwasabha, takes around an hour, departing from Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. After that, you must drive the 3–4 hours from Tumlingtar to Chichila. Nevertheless, if you wish to go by road you must travel 501.0 km (11-12 hours) via bus from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar and 3-4 hours (11-12 hours) to Chinchilla.

You will be exposed to a variety of itineraries depending on how long you plan to stay, such as one-week or 14-day treks. However, back-to-back walks will make you feel more lethargic and restless. Therefore, a 22-day hike plan is ideal and advised. It’s a challenging hike with a shaky drive to an isolated place. Additionally, it has many stone stairs, rough roads, several circular slide places, narrow paths, and snow-covered passes which are over 4000 meters.
