Most Attraction of the trek:
This comparatively easy trek offers excellent views of Everest, Makalu and other peaks, the handmade paper factory and great Tungba!
The Salpa Pass trail links the Khumbu (Everest) region with the unique
ecosystem of the Arun Valley. This trek begins in Tumlingtar and
follows the Arun River until we turn into the Irkhu Khola valley which
is renowned for its natural paper products. This valley takes us to the
Salpa Pass and the holy lake Salpa Pokhari. Friendly villagers and
beautiful waterfalls bring us to the second pass of the trek - the
Surkie La. This area is renowned for its Tungba - a Sherpa alcoholic
drink, and is the entry to the Makalu-Barun National Park. Spectacular
views of Mera Peak, Everest, Makalu, Cho-Oyu and many others in the
Khumbu region are spread before you. We then descend to Lukla to return
to Kathmandu.
