A Concise Guide to Ecology, Trees, Birds and Mammals From Tropics to Glaciers: Globally Significant Biodiversity on the Wild Side of Everest The Makalu-Barun lies on the "wild side of Everest" around Mount Makalu and the Barun River Valley of north-eastern Nepal. This area represents an intact ecosystem in an area of globally significant biodiversity, the Nepal Eastern Himalaya. From tropical forests along the Arun River to icy summits, the Makalu-Barun National Park and Buffer Zone is the only protected area on earth with an elevation gain of 8,000m from 400m to 8,800m as within 30 kilometers.
