This short and marvelous trek provides opportunity to walk through warm and lush forest valley of Arun river which drains the eastern mountain including Makalu. This is a non touristy area providing really  superb views of Everest and Makalu  and passes through the settlements of Rai, Sherpa and Brahmins along the way. Starting from the lush and tropical valley floor we slowly ascend to the wilderness of Makalu-Barun conservation area  and finally emerge at Lukla to catch our flight back to Kathmandu.

This is a highly recommended short trek, it is relatively easy , provides not only experiences of alpine atmosphere and high mountains but also tropical wilderness.It also recommended for those who want to experience Everest from non touristy route. Once you emerge from Arun valley to the  Everest region you can add any itinerary of Everest region in this trek.  Another option is,  instead of starting the trek from Tumlingtar  , start it  from classic everest route at  Jiri and branch  off  for Arun valley from   a point  along the way .
