Camp

The trek starts from Tumlingtar either by fixed wing or by Helicopter depending upon the weather conditions. The trail leads upstream along the Arun Kosi across the terraced fields and villages to reach Chichira. We leave the main trail and cross the Arun River to Tashi Gaon. We go upstream to Makalu Base Camp. Then we cross the 3 difficult passes of the Sherpani Pass (6,110m.), West Col (6,135m.) and Mingbo La (5817m.).

This trek, being one of the most strenuous in Nepal, we need to be well acclimatized to cross the passes. During this trip you will have the wonderful views of the mountains such as Kanchenjunga, Makalu I, Makalu II, Jannu , Baruntse, Lhotse, Everest, Ama Dablam, Pumori & Thamserku. From Baruntse Base Camp, the trek will continue through difficult passes like Mingbo La for which we need atleast 300 m fixed rope to descend to enter the classic route of Everest via Ama Dablam base camp, Tyangboche, Namche and trek ends at Lukla or Syangboche depending on flight schedule to fly back to Kathmandu.
