Arun Valley Salpa Bhanjyang Trek
A perfect trek in Nepal for someone who wishes to escape from the mainstream trekking destinations and enjoy the pristine landscape. The Arun Valley Salpa Bhanjyang trek is the most beautiful trek in Nepal sandwiched between the foothills of the mammoth mountains of Everest and Makalu. The trails run through abundantly vegetated landscapes, with the backdrop of the mountains. The views of the mountains include Everest (8848m), Makalu (8463m), Chamlang (7319m), and Ama Dablam (6856m) amongst others. As the region doesn’t see many tourists, much of the flora and fauna are untouched while the people have managed to preserve their traditions, which can be seen in their agrarian lifestyle.
