Makalu Sherpani Col Trek is on an extraordinary adventure with the three different passes in Makalu to Everest region of Nepal. This trek is absolutely looking at over 6000 m, an unparalleled journey into the remote and pristine landscapes of the Great Himalayas Trail. The mission commences with a scenic flight to Tumlingtar in the Eastern part of Nepal, setting the stage for an awe-inspiring trek along the Arun River. Meandering through terraced fields and picturesque villages, the trail leads to Chichira, where we diverge from the main route, crossing the Arun River en route to Tashi Gaon. From there, our ascent takes us to the majestic Makalu Base Camp, unveiling breathtaking vistas of towering peaks.

  • The trek encompasses three challenging passes – Sherpani Col (6,135 m), West Col (6,143 m), and Amphulaptsa Pass (5,850 m).

The Makalu 3 Col Trek cost varies depending on factors such as group size, hotel category in Kathmandu, trek duration, and desired services, ranging between USD 3,500 to 4,000 per person for a complete Makalu Sherpani Col Circuit Trekking package.

As you traverse the trails, you'll be treated to panoramic views of iconic Himalayan peaks, including Kanchenjunga, Makalu I and II, Jannu, Baruntse, Lhotse, Everest, Ama Dablam, Pumori, and Thamserku, visible from the Baruntse Base Camp. Endure temperatures as low as -5°C, necessitating a well-equipped and professional team for this thrilling Himalayan escapade.

The ascent to West Col at 6,143 m promises an exceptional and challenging experience, with its final section revealing a surreal arctic landscape dominated by ice-covered summits. The subsequent descent, supported by fixed ropes, leads to the formidable Amphu-Laptsa Pass at a steep 40-45° incline. After navigating the Hunku Glacier, a descent further brings you to the Baruntse Glacier at 5,450 m.

This adventure culminates with a trek down through the Khumbu region, concluding in Lukla, followed by a scenic flight back to Kathmandu. Ensure your team is well-rested and energized, especially if an overnight stay is required at West Col. Makalu Serpani Col Trek necessitates two different park permits for entry into the Sagarmatha National Park and Makalu Barun National Park, underscoring the significance of this pristine Himalayan wilderness.
