Makalu Base Camp Trek 29 Days
Makalu Base camp trekking starts from kathmandu by flight to Tumlingtar. This trek offers a very diverse experience, both culturally and naturally. It starts from a very low elevation of 460m and goes up to a height of about 6,140m. The terrain also changed as we climbed higher, varying from rice terraces, jungle and wide rivers, to huge moraines, glaciers and impressive 7000 and 8000m peaks. One should be physically fit in order to do this trek, as one has to climb up above 6000m, traversing some difficult passes and steep ridges. The passes in this trek involve some basic, but technical climbing. So I would only advice the traverse from Makalu BC to the Khumbu to keen and experienced trekkers who like a challenge. Some basic mountaineering experience is preferred.”
