Arun Valley to Everest Base Camp Trek

Trekking in the Everest region is a lifelong dream for many trekking lovers, and while we are talking about the Everest region, it offers many trekking routes to suit people of every taste. From a difficult three trek to a standard EBC trek, Everest has it all. For those who look for off-the-beaten tracks 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 the Khumbu (Everest) region trek.

Arun Valley is a beautiful valley which boasts a 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 the Himalayas, mainly Mt. Everest, Mt. Makalu, Mera Peak, Mt. Baruntse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Amadablam, Mt. Thamserku, etc.

This valley is inhabited 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.

Tipping Recommendation

We recommend allocating 10-15% of your total tour cost to tipping guides, drivers, and other hardworking staff who ensure your experience is unforgettable. While tipping is not mandatory, it is a meaningful way to support the seasonal workers who dedicate themselves to making your trip extraordinary.

By booking with us and participating in the tipping culture, you are directly contributing to Nepal’s local economy and helping sustain the tourism workforce. This support is crucial in retaining talent within the country and addressing challenges like brain drain.
