The fifth-highest mountain in the world, Mt. Makalu, has an elevation of 8481 meters. It is an extremely difficult peak to climb—more difficult than ascending Mt. Everest. The Makalu Expedition in Nepal’s northeast is not a very difficult climbing task. From Tumglingtar in the East, where we take a flight from Kathmandu, it is an about three and a half hour precarious drive to the beginning of the trekking excursion. Thus, the Makalu Trek Expedition is regarded as being extremely technical. isolated and difficult Our path crosses the Barun Khola, which flows from Makalu, before ascending all the way to Neghe Kharka. It takes a while to get to Makalu Base Camp (4823 meters), and there are some difficult hills along the way. However, the views of Makalu (8481 meters) to the north are worth it. This is the land of the glaciers, looming above the massive, memorable presence of Everest itself and the world’s mightiest mountains.
We typically put up four camps in the approach, with ABC being the exception, at 5,700m. We intend to set up camp I at a glacial plateau at 6,150 meters, continue along the glacier plateau towards Makalu Pass, climb some sections of steep slopes, and eventually arrive at the base of the Makalu Pass to set up camp II at 7,000 meters by following the lateral moraine and hiking onto the glacier. We ascend the Messner Headwall in the direction of Makalu La and Camp III, which is located at 7,300 meters. At 7,850 meters, Camp IV will be established, and at 8,462 meters, it will launch itself for the summit.
