makalu expedition

A Makalu expedition involves attempting to climb Mount Makalu, the fifth-highest mountain in the world at 8,485 meters (27,838 feet) above sea level. Situated in the Himalayas on the border between Nepal and Tibet, Makalu is known for its challenging climb and is recognized as one of the eight-thousanders.

Makalu expeditions typically commence with a trek to base camp, traversing through picturesque landscapes and remote villages. Climbers then proceed to establish multiple high-altitude camps, overcoming technical challenges such as steep ridges, icy slopes, and unpredictable weather conditions. The ascent to the summit requires careful navigation through the rocky sections and ice cliffs.

Climbing Makalu demands a high level of mountaineering expertise, physical endurance, and the ability to acclimatize to the extreme altitudes. The climbing season for Makalu aligns with the spring and autumn months when weather conditions are more stable.
