The Salpa Pass trail is a marvelous way to walk into the Khumbu (Everest) region following the unique ecosystem of the Arun Valley. This trekking trail is known as an ancient trade route used by local people to transport agricultural products to Namche Bazaar and Tibet across Nangpa la. 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. Rai populates this area and Sherpa people settled in a wonderland of isolated villages. This area is renowned for its Tungba - a Sherpa alcoholic drink. The highest trekking point in this route is Salpa Banjang at 3800m and highest camp site is at Salpa Kharka at 3600m. This trek is comparatively easy which offers superb views of Mera Peak, Everest, Makalu, and many others at unfeasible height above rice paddies, lush forests. This is also the gateway to the Makalu-Barun National Park.
