For trekkers who've conquered Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit and are hungry for something rawer and far less traveled, the Makalu Base Camp Trek delivers an 18-day journey into one of Nepal's last true wildernesses. Tucked in the remote eastern Himalayas, this trek leads to the foot of Mount Makalu, the world's fifth-highest peak, through a national park so pristine it sees only a fraction of the trekkers found on Nepal's more famous routes.
