Makalu Basecamp  trek in  October/November is the best season to trek in Makalu Barun National Park. October and November are the autumn season  in Nepal. After several monsoon months in Nepal,  we have another great fall start with blue sky, sunshine days, less rain, and not so many clouds in the mountains from mid-September till the end of December. Then, most of the trekkers come to the Himalayan country Nepal for Trekking, Climbing, and tour in this preferable weather in autumn. Compared to other trekking areas in Nepal, Makalu-Barun national park was open for trekkers in 1992, and Mount Makalu (alt 8486m) was climbed in 15 May 1955, for the first time by Lionel Terray, and Jean Couzy from France.

While you trek to Makalu base camp, it doesn’t matter late or early, but there is no other place where people can find one of the great adventure experiences of trekking, Climbing including different beauty of natural flora-fauna, cultural, social, massive big Makalu Mountain with many other over 7000m, 6000m. As well as the arum and Barun river is possible to see only at Makalu Barun National Park.

In the Makalu base camp trek, There are not made any decent hotels and guest houses yet. So the tourist have to spend overnight at basic typical homestays. The basic homestays are available in every places to reach Makalu base camp. Many companies and tourists still prefer organizing their won camping to feel more adventurous and provides verities of continental Western food. Which is a little bit more expensive because all camping gear, food, cruise members, need to manage from Kathmandu. Which is not possible to manage locally in Khadbari or Tumblingtar.

But those tourists who also like to feel a bit of Nepali way, sleeping in dometry hall sharing  homestay with families and other trekkers, eat basic Nepali food (Dal Bhat) then, the trek costs bit cheaper. Also, you can just hire guide and porters to do Makalu base camp trek to reduce the cost. The homestays will be available until Makalu base camp, but for those who wants to extend the trek and go further different areas like Sherpani-col, Amphu Laptsa, Mera, or Kanchenjunga they have no other options then just camping.

Makalu base camp, and Sherpini – Col pass trek in details:

In Makalu Barun national park there is an another hardcore adventure trip called Sherpani-col high pass trek and the altitude is over 6000m/19,685ft. Adventure high pass trek is the extremly tough trek in the world. In between Makalu base camp trek and Sherpani-col high pass trek, up to Makalu base camp the itinerary is same but Sherpani-col pass trail split from Makalu base camp and goes further north-west.  But the trek to Makalu base camp return same way back to Tumlingtar. Also, Sherpani-col pass trek, we need to fly from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar (450m/1476ft), it takes  about 55 minute to get there. Tumlingtar will be the lowest altitude for this high adventure trek, eastern Nepal’s, Sankhuwasava district.

You will follow Arun river for a while and take right side up towards Bhotebash via Mane Bhanjyang. When you are in Bhotebash you feel a little bit cooler breeze coming from the hills, after few hours 0f driving in hot temperature. While you reach Chichila from where you can see Makalu mountain range in distance, then again you drive down to Num which is the last point of driving. Tumblingtar to Num the drive will take around 4 to 5 hours.

You should stay in Num for overnight to prepare for walking to Makalu base camp. The basic lodge in Num, at least you can have good sleep and get some common Nepali food as well as some Chinese food. The next destination will be Seduwa which goes steep down again to Arun River and steep up to Seduwa, in 7 to 8 hours of walking you can reach in Seduwa. The tempreture will be very hot so you might be sweating all day. Seduwa to Tashi gaun is easy to walk for a few hours and preparing for some longer walk.

After staying in Tashigaun, the next destination is kongma dada. Which is long climb most of the day and it takes around 8 to 10 hour to reach in Kongma dada throughout forest walking almost all day. This day is good warming up for altitude and a little bit of training for Sherpani-col pass. Kongma-la the next day  small pass which is not that high altitude but ground fugue most of the time and that makes little difficult to climb up and down to Dobato. This is again a long day and  it takes around 9 to 10 hours but  depanding on the weather conditions and walking pace you can reach at Dobato less than 9 hours.

After Dobato, it is just down to Barun river and easy up to Yangri kharka, which is beautiful Makalu valley. Yangri Kharka and Makalu base camp valley is the most beautiful scenery of Makalu range mountain day by day more and more once you reach in Makalu base camp it is just amazing beautiful of world’s top 5th biggest mountain base camp. Explore the barun glacier and rest is needed for the next destination.

Enjoying in a base camp then, you can go towards Swiss camp, walking distance looks not so long but walking into glacier makes it harder but still possible to make it by 4 to 5 hours with enjoying the front view of Makalu mountain.

Swiss camp to High camp is harder to accent up because of rocky hillside walking.  At the elevation of 5600m/18,372ft. called Sherpani-col high camp located in the front for huge Iceland. Preparing for next to Sherpani -col pass, you need to acclimatize here with some basic climbing training and to get used to the altitude. Guide and climbing guide may prepare for the rope to fixed to top off of Sherpani -col to make it easier for the next day to everyone. Early Morning Starts from high camp to sherpani -col top, next is a challenging job. It may take 7 to 8 hours to reach the top.

First 5 to 6 hour you can manage to reach the button of Sherpani-col, every step after high camp Sherpani-col top looks very near but due to crevasses and hard snow makes it harder to keep walking. After struggling some hours with less oxygen to accent to the buttom of Sherpani-col to the top, you have to go through rope to the top for 200m/0.2mile. Climb up is not easy for the porters too with carrying load. For the safety everybody should use the rope. When you are at the top of Sherpani -col at 6190m/20,308ft. you can see west -col and huge snow field of Baruntse camp II in the west and stunning view of mount Makalu.

To go to camp site,  it takes time because of  250m/0.2mile. steep rocky down hill part. at this point, everyone need to make a queue and go turn by turn. Normally the guide will make a decision first to cross that part depending on the situation. The clients will go with Sherpa, and the kitchen crew and porters  will go together. For kitchen crews and the porters carrying huge load will  be very tough  to go down, if the bags go wrong direction for few meters then the bag will fall down to deep crevasses which will be very hard to pullback to  the right direction.

So, when we cross the pass one person stays in turning point of ice fall and other person will be at the buttom to collect safely and one person stays on top to manage load to send slowly down walking to Baruntse camp II. This day will be very tough day and it will take many hours.

It is huge ice field end of the other side of field is Baruntse Camp II,  where you spent overnight. Similar strategy like Sherpani- col high camp, here, also climbing guide and other crews will go to prepare for West-col to make sure rope is fixed and for other preparetion. Small accent and long descent for next day you will reach Baruntse.

This place is probably one of the most beautiful places on this whole adventure trip.  Spendig the night at lap of Barunte with seeing massif mountain Makalu, definitely there is no other place to similar like this. You will be  sleeping over 6000m, so,  this can be tired and hard to sleep on this altitude. The next morning, descending down  from west-col is one of the hardest pass in this trip among other passes.

From west –col during descending, lose rock may fall and can hit anybody so, you need to be careful. The descending method will be as same as Sherpani-col, the guide needs to sent  down clients first one by one and then after other crew member and porters load via rope. Even completely reach in the button of west-col still, you need to be careful to falling into the crevasse. The trail shape are always changing due to  heavy avalanche  during heavy snowfall time. after struggling to decent to Baruntse camp I then, you will decent more to Baruntse high camp for overnight stay. This day could be the hardest day for sure.

The next day to Amphu Laptsa high camp, which won’t be any high pass, just trek up to high camp for 5 to 6 hours. One more day at this place is rest to prepare for another high pass Amphu laptsa(5900m.). From high camp to Amphu Laptsa, it takes around 2 to 3-hour maximum to reach on top, near the top again you need to climb with rope but this one is easier and much safe then the last passes of this trip. On the top of Amphu Laptsa, you can again start seeing Everest regions mountain.

The one last difficult descend from the top of Amphu Laptsa to Imza lake. You will descend about 200 to 250 meter steep down towards South and turn  North-West to descend by rope. The descending proccess will be the as same as previous passes. Finally, you will arrive Imza lake and start trek towards Chhukung. After waking for 2 to 3 hours you will arrive in Chhukug. Finally, the hardest part of the trek will be done here and you will continue trek dwon to Lukla for few days.

When you arrive at Lukla, the trek will end here and you can celebrate the trek with all the staff members with great trekking experience with nature explore trek team. Next morning you will take a short flight to Kathmandu from Lukla for 35 minutes.  You will be invited for authentic Nepali meal with cultural dance for dinner.
