Makalu base camp trek: Here’s the 9-day itinerary that made us feel the bliss

I had been meaning to travel to eastern Nepal for quite some time. But, every time I had planned, things had not worked out the way they should have. Even this year, I wanted to go to Kanchenjunga base camp, but fate took to me the Barun valley and the grandeur that is Makalu base camp.

As soon as I was given a two-week long holiday from work, I talked to a few friends from the travel industry and planned the trek to Makalu base camp. After all the planning was done, we left Kathmandu on September 21 by taking a flight to Biratnagar.
