Milke Danda

The Milke Danda trek is a beautiful ridge dividing the Arun and Tamar valleys in Eastern Nepal. The trek lies amidst the great peaks of Makalu and Kanchenjunga and offers you glimpses of varied culture, traditions, vegetation, geography and uninhabited ridge views of four of the world’s five highest peaks.

Depending on our route, the trek can be for 7-10 days and can take in the charming village of Chainpur. It can start and finish at Tumlingtar or Basantapur. One magnificent feature of this trek is the huge forests of Nepal's national flower, the rhododendron, along the ridge.  En route you will see excellent panoramic views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Makalu (8463m) and Kanchenjunga (8586m world’s third highest peak) to the east. In addition, Tibetan life style, Yaks and cheese are other attractions of the area.


February to April and October to November are the best times for trekking and you have the option of camping style of trek. Spring (end of February-April) is the best time to see the rhododendrons blooming.
