The Makalu region is an absolutely amazing still very untouched area in the northwestern corner of the Sankhuwa-sabha district. To the west, it is bordered by the Everest region, to the north by Tibet, to the east by the Arun River and to the South by the Sabha River. this region was dedicated to a national park and conservation area in the early 1990's.

The region is very close to the Everest region, but drastically different in many ways. Most of the people in this district live in the lower hills fairly close to the Arun River. The airport is situated at an altitude of only 2700 ft in picturesque surroundings.

The best way to reach Makalu region is to fly into Phaplu (the only airport in Sankhuwasabha) and hike the trail from Khandbari to Num, then cross over the Arun River into the conservation area. There is also the Salpa Pass route between Phaplu and the Everest region hitting the trail there about a day from "Lukla". This "backdoor" to Everest from Phaplu via Lukla takes at least seven days.
