About the Makalu Trek
Makalu Base Camp Sherpani Col Trek is the most extended trek in the Makalu region. It passes through the Makalu and Everest region.
This trek is challenging and requires mountaineering skills such as glacier walking and the use of ice axes. If your dream is to summit Everest, this trek would be a great way to prepare due to its high altitude and technical aspects. Mt. Makalu is the fifth-highest mountain in the world. This trek passes through the three highest passes in the Himalayas. Lhakpa Sherpa recommends this trek for those preparing to tackle Everest in the future.
