About this trip

     

Mount Makalu at 8463m is a benchmark for climbers to measure their skills in high altitude mountaineering. It demands strong physical and mental strength as it is one of the most technically challenging peaks. Its steep pitches and knife-edge ridges make climbing Makalu harder than other peaks over 8000 meters. Makalu lies approximately 20kms east of Everest and is the fifth highest mountain in the world. It lies in the remote region of Makalu Barun valley, where nature is pure in its wilderness. It is partly because this region remains isolated from the popular expedition destination of the Khumbu region. The exotic flora and fauna in this region of Nepal remain untouched in its purest form. The green hills and the snowy mountains make for a dreamy landscape. On reaching the summit, the views of some of the world’s highest mountains like Everest, Cho Oyu, Baruntse, and Lhotse will leave you in awe.

My Langtang Valley, Gosainkunda Lake trek with Nepal Social Treks was overall a very good time. The valley, lakes, high pass, and climbing Cherko Ri are beautiful and challenging but all so well worth the effort. It was a pleasure to do this trek with Prem as my guide. His knowledge and attention to every detail along the way was fabulous. He kept us on a perfect pace throughout the trek and always with a great sense of humour and positive attitude. He was a pleasure to have as a guide. Thanks to all at Nepal Social for making it a great trek. Cheers

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have travelled with Nepal Social Treks. From beginning to end, I felt safe and cared for - a fete as a solo black female traveller. In February I travelled to Everest Base Camp with Nepal Social Treks. I survived the ‘most dangerous flight in the world’, trekked across beautiful terrain at high altitudes, reaching beautiful settlements including Namche Bazaar, Gorakshep and Everest Base Camp. A once in a lifetime experience that I recommend to all. My tour guide Biznu was exceptionally experienced and well practised on the terrain. It was amazing to see first hand the skill of an experienced Nepali tour guide. I would like to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to the porters, who carried what we could not at high altitudes and never forgot or broke anything. Nepal Social Trekking provided excellent kit, including a duffle for clothes and sleeping bag to cover up to -20 degrees. After travelling to Everest Base Camp, Nepal Social Treks went above and beyond - by helping to arrange a trip for me to Pokhara. In which I was able to experience another side to Nepal, the beautiful lakes and caves available. My experience throughout (from initially enquiry email, to my flight home) I felt personally taken care of. A special thank you to Sushila and Luna. A massive thank you to Basu - you have founded an amazing company.
