Makalu and Sherpani
Col Pass trekking:
Makalu Base Camp has been compared to the Yosemite Valley, on a
grand scale! To reach some of the most amazing mountain scenery in the
Himalaya, you first have to cross the challenging Kongma Danda covered in cloud
forest draped in hanging orchids. There are few villages along the approach to
the fifth highest peak in the world, Mt Makalu (8485m), the summit of which
stands 3km above Base Camp. The mountaineering route over the glaciated
Sherpani Col (6180m), West Col (6190m) and Amphu Labsta (5845m) to the Everest
region involves the highest and hardest passes in the entire Himalaya, however
the rewards of such an undertaking are more than worthwhile! During this trek
there will be sections where the trail is very rugged or ill-defined, some
trails have been trekked only once by a small party, and so the going will be
tough. Space in some camp sites will also be very limited. It may be necessary
to make changes to the itinerary at any time due to unforeseen circumstances
such as adverse weather, snow or trail conditions, river water levels, or group
movement. Your trip leader will advise any changes should this occur. source by TAAN
