The trek starts from Tumlingtar either by regular flight
or a helicopter ride 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 here and cross the Arun
River to Tashi Gaon. From there, we go upstream to
Makalu Base Camp. Then we cross the three 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,
requires to be acclimatized well to cross the
passes. During this trip, you will have wonderful views
of the mountains such as Kanchenjunga, Makalu I, Makalu
II, Jannu , Baruntse, Lhotse, Everest, Ama Dablam,
Pumori and Thamserku. From Baruntse Base Camp, the trek
will continue through difficult passes like Mingbo La
for which we need at least a line of 300m of fixed rope
to descend the pass. The trek ends at Lukla.
