Now a days the infrastructures for trekking in Eastern Nepal have been improved, and with new roads having been built, trailhead access is improving and, in certain instances, becoming easier. Trekking under the shadow of the world's greatest mountains makes it easy to appreciate the grandeur and genuine glory of the earth.

Some of the beautiful places that can be visited in the eastern part of Nepal are:

1. Arun valley to Everest Base Camp

A relatively long path that starts from Tumlingtar and continues via the Arun Valley is an alternative to the classic Everest Base Camp trek. It's less popular than the EBC trek, but there's still considerable tourism infrastructure in some spots, so travelers can choose between camping and teahouse lodging. The amount of people and the level of the infrastructure improves after the main EBC track is linked at Lukla, so this journey offers the perfect combination.

Tumlingtar is a small town located east of Kathmandu. With an elevation of only 422 meters, this walk has a long way to go. It begins by traveling through agricultural settlements, with glimpses of Chamalang and Makalu ahead. This area is home to Sherpa, Rai, Chhetri, and Brahmin people, allowing for many cultural exchanges. The trail follows the Arun River, which is part of Nepal's Sapta Kosi river system that originates in Tibet and includes some magnificent suspension bridge crossings.

2. Makalu Base Camp

One of Nepal's most difficult treks is Makalu. Either route—from the south to Makalu Base Camp, or from Kanchenjunga to Everest via the Lumbha Sambha Pass—is difficult and requires high passes and mountaineering. Trekking through the almost-uninhabited Makalu-Barun National Park, which is rich in flora and animals and features stunning high rocky peaks, is well worth the time and effort. Trekking to Makalu should be on the itinerary of anyone looking for a wilderness adventure.

3. Kanchenjunga

Kanchenjunga, at 8,586 meters, is the world's third tallest peak, located on the boundary between Nepal and India's Sikkim state. There are various trekking options to and around Kanchenjunga from Nepal, all of which are tough and demanding but well worth the effort. Few trekkers use this area since there were no hotels until recently, forcing hikers to camp the entire journey. Lodges and cuisine are still fairly basic, but there are now more choices.

The most famous Kanchenjunga trek takes 24 days and includes stops at both the North and South Base Camps. The journey to the North Base Camp takes approximately 20 days, and the trek to the South Base Camp took roughly 17 days. Shorter treks are also possible. Apart from the mountain itself, the appeal of traveling to Kanchenjunga is the opportunity to engage with regular Nepali folks who reside off the beaten path.

4. Mera Peak

If you're a skilled backpacker with a few Himalayan treks under your belt and a passion for mountain climbing, conquering a trekking peak might be an excellent choice. A trekking peak in Nepal is one for which no special mountaineering permit is required. Peak climbing is far more difficult than 'normal' trekking, and it necessitates considerable planning and the guidance of an experienced guide. They are, nonetheless, less difficult than mountain peaks.

5. Ilam

While India's Darjeeling region is known for its tea plantations, Nepal's Ilam also produces tea. The tea-covered hills are bordered by a varied range of species and have very easy routes. Although there are guesthouses in the area, several of the routes around Ilam can be completed in a single day. The panorama of the eastern Himalayas from Shree Antu 2,328 m, Maipokhari Lake, and woods rich with vegetation (such as Rhododendrons) and wildlife can all be found on multi-day treks in this region, including the rare red panda. Ilam is accessible by bus or airplane from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur, followed by a bus or cab.
