The trek connects the two distinct areas, Kanchenjunga and Makalu, through the crossing of the high-altitude Lumba Sumba Pass (5200 M). Recently introduced to the trekking world, it is one of Nepal\u2019s least explored and newer trekking trails. And thanks to that, one can have an authentic experience and more freedom to explore. The trail passes through beautiful villages, monasteries, rugged valleys, rivers, alluring mixed forests, difficult rocky terrain, and many more.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">The trek provides stunning views of Mt. Makalu (8463 M) and Mt. Kanchenjunga (8586 M) including several other peaks, especially from the Lumba Sumba Pass. During the trek, you will walk through the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area and Makalu Barun National Park, some of Nepal\u2019s richest and most diverse protected areas in terms of natural beauty, wildlife, and vegetation. The Kanchenjunga to Makalu via the Lumba Sumba Pass Trek is a wonderful opportunity to discover various ethnic groups of Nepal as well. The region is inhabited dominantly by the Sherpa, Rai, and Limbu. Gurung, Tamang, Newar, Brahmin, and Chettri also inhabit the region but in fewer numbers. You can experience their warm hospitality, culture, and daily lifestyle while on the trek. In the villages of the Sherpa people, you can find ancient monasteries, chortens, mani walls, and prayer flags.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">Overall, the Lumba Sumba Pass Trek is a full-on camping trek that gives the joy of trekking 2 to 3 decades ago when there were no proper lodges on most of the trekking trails. If you are one of those trekkers who love to have a wilderness experience while trekking in remote areas with very few people, this trek is a great one.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element
