Lungbasamba (Lumba Sumba) Eco‑Trek Pass is a remote, high-altitude trekking route in eastern Nepal connecting the Kanchenjunga and Makalu-Barun conservation areas. The pass, at over 5,100 meters, offers breathtaking views of Himalayan giants like Makalu and Kanchenjunga. This trail passes through culturally rich villages of the Bhote, Sherpa, Rai, and Limbu communities, offering deep insights into traditional mountain life. Known for its pristine nature, rare wildlife, and minimal crowds, it is one of Nepal's most adventurous and scenic eco-treks.
