Mount Makalu lies in the eastern part of Nepal.
It rises to (8463m) above the sea level. Mr.
Jean Couzy from France scaled Mt. Makalu for the
first time on May 15, 1955 via West Face. It is
the world's fifth highest peak and situated 14
miles east of Mount Everest between Everest and
Kanchenjunga, on the Nepali-Tibetan border. The
Japanese climbed Makalu in 1970, another French
team climbed it in 1971 and a Yugoslav
expedition reached the summit in 1975. In 1976
Spanish and Czechoslovakian teams joined up near
the summit.
Climbing Route: Mt. Makalu has fixed five routes
by every expedition team and four variations
along with other interesting opportunities like
the West Face, the Northeast from Nepal and
North Flanks from Tibet. Our trek follows one of
the most remote and unfrequented areas of Nepal.
Starting to fly to Biratnagar and drive to Hile
where we start to walk towards Arun River, we
walk through the snow, rain and cloud prone
Kauma. Base Camp is just south of the snout of
the Barun Glacier at an elevation of 4823m.
Finally, after the climbing of Mt. Makalu
expedition, our trip will finish at Tumlingtar
plateau where we take plane to fly in to
Kathmandu directly
