Makalu Trekking Sherpani Col Crossover, Grade: Challenging
This
walk follows a picturesque and rarely trekked route, which passes through a
number of interesting villages, offering magnificent views of Mt. Makalu, Mt.
Kanchenjunga and the Khumba-Karna mountain range, especially from the 4,229m
high Shipton-la and Khoma ridge. After following the normal trail to Sherson, we
move towards a slightly higher camp at the foot of the Barun glacier, to make
our final preparations for the traverse of the three cols. Ropes will be fixed
on the steepest and most exposed sections of each of the passes, to safeguard
the smooth passage of the group. Breathe-taking views can be seen from this
high-level route of the giant central Himalayan peaks, including impressive
perspective views of Mt. Everest and Lhotse. As a relaxing finale to this
outstanding adventure, we descend towards the popular Everest trail of the
Khumbu area to Lukla.
