Overview
About the trek:
Makalu 8485m is the world’s fifth highest mountain, and the Makalu Circuit Trek is one
of the most difficult and adventurous journeys in Nepal, as the entire circuit includes
numerous difficult high passes that must be completed, including Sherpani Col 6180m,
West Col 6143m, Amphu Lapcha Pass 5850m, and many more. Our experienced
Sherpa crew and official trekking planner team would be highly anxious for your safety
and security concerning altitude sickness and possible illness while on your successful
adventure holiday. We highly recommend previous trekking experience and good
physical fitness for every adventure-seeking trekker likely to accomplish the Makalu
Circuit. 20 to the 24-day-long itinerary with a challenging grade trekking trail in
Sangkhuwasava is often known as Makalu Circuit Trek or Makalu High Pass Trek with
Tourist Link Treks and Expedition starts with a sightseeing tour in Kathmandu. We take
around an hour’s flight from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar, followed by a couple of hours’
drive to our exact trek starting point at Khandbari. The trekking trail first begins with
scenic and soft walking, then gradually moves towards tough and high adventures. After
walking for more than a week until reaching Makalu Base camp at 4800 meters, where
we take an acclimatization day, it would be worthwhile to attempt a serious pass at
Sherpani Col at 6180 meters. Again, the trail continuously becomes wilder until we pass
West Col at 6190 meters and Amphu Lapcha Pass at 5850 meters. After that, our
journey starts following the descent with a safe and comfortable walk that joins the
popular classic trail of Everest; towards Chukkung, Tengboche, Namche Bazaar, and
finally to Lukla for a flight back to Kathmandu.

Best time for the trek:
While talking about trekking in Nepal, one can do it all year long, excluding adverse
weather. However, if trackers take the high Himalayas into consideration, an extreme
winter lasting from early December to February is near impossible. Other than that,
trackers can select any time of the year to head out for a good trek. I.e., spring, March
to May, and mid-September to November, i.e., autumn, is the ideal time for witnessing
the experience of true trekking in the Himalayas. Similarly, if trackers overlap the treks
with one of the many local festivals in trek regions, they can get the bonus experience of
getting to know the culture and traditions of the people living in these areas.
