Lukla Tumlingtar Trek

A memorable and charming trek to the valley of the Arun Khosi. In spite of the fact that not troublesome, there are 3 fulfilling goes to cross on this at times utilized course. This trek makes for a fascinating way out from the Khumbu region or as an option begin to the treks in the Makalu range.

Salpa pass located between the Sagarmatha and Makalu Barun National Park. Makalu trekking region is blessed with an incredible diversity of nature and culture. Arun Valley salpa pass trek combines all these factors and more. Chirping birds, the gentle noise of stream, and fragrance of pine trees, spectacular views of rhododendron forest, shrubs and bushes on the Salpa Arun trail provides you a different experience than that of trekking in a busy route where the number of tourists is more than local people. Very few tourists discover the fascinating Salpa pass Arun valley trek route, home to Kulung and Sherpa ethnic people with traditional customs, that haven’t changed for centuries.
