Makalu Base Camp to Everest

An expedition from Makalu Base Camp to Everest via Sherpani Pass, West Col and Amphu Laptsa. This trek follows a section of The Great Himalaya Trail

This is a truly adventurous expedition passing through a remote and wild region of the Himalayas with superb views of Makalu, Everest, Lhotse, Chamlang and Kanchenjunga. It is very important to be sufficiently acclimatised before making the crossing of the Sherpani Pass is 6,135m. There are logistical challenges in supplying an expedition to such a remote area of the Himalaya and this is only possible by bringing a strong and experienced Sherpa team along with a western leader.

The trail takes you from the steamy lowlands near Tumlingtar on the Arun River over the Shipton La into the remote and beautiful Barun river valley before arriving at Makalu Base Camp. From here we cross Sherpani Pass over to Baruntse Base Camp, then cross West Col to Panch Pokhari followed by the Amphu Laptsa into the Khumbu. Mountaineering experience is required to safely complete this journey as there will be fixed rope on the passes and group rope travel on the glaciers.
