Trekking in Everest region is a lifelong dream for many trekking lovers and while we are talking about Everest region it offers many trekking routes to suit people of every taste. From difficult three passes trek to standard EBC trek, Everest has it all. For those who look for off the beaten track and still want to enjoy the mesmerizing views of Everest, Arun Valley Trekking is just the right trek for them. Arun Valley is the deepest valley in the world which is located between Mt. Everest (the highest mountain in the world) and Makalu-Barun National Park in Sankhuwasava district. Arun Valley is a less crowded camping trek in the eastern part of Nepal and is a better alternative to Khumbu (Everest) region trek. Arun Valley is a beautiful valley which boasts wide variation in vegetation. We can scrutinize different flora and fauna including 650 species of birds, 800 species of butterflies, 30 species of rhododendron, 47 varieties of orchids, hundreds of other flowers and endangered species of a red panda. Besides this we can also look at the panoramic views of Himalayas mainly Mt. Everest, Mt. Makalu, Mera Peak, Mt. Baruntse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Amadablam, Mt. Thamserku, etc. This valley is inhabitants by Sherpa, Rai, and Limbu which allows you to observe their unique culture and tradition. We can visit this valley throughout the year, but the best times are February-May, and September-December.
