The beaten track up to Everest is amazing. But here’s a less known trail to follow into these one-of-a-kind alpine heights. Buna Trek and Expeditions run a 21 days organised trek up along Arun River, through medieval and rarely visited villages, and higher still up to pristine yak pastures below Mount Makulu – the fifth tallest peak in the world. The view of not only Makulu but also Everest and additional peaks should be one of a kind along this route. In short, this is off the beaten track. We still have to go, and hope to get a chance in future. Until then, Buna Trek and Expeditions has details and directions!
