Makalu Base Camp Treks(8481m./27818ft), the world's fifth highest summit, is normally climbed from a basecamp at Sherson (c.4700m./15416ft), a lovely high grazing area close to the tip of the Barun Glacier and surrounded by an awe-inspiring array of peaks. The return trek into this remote alpine world is one of Nepal's finest and is accessed by way of a short flight to the airstrip at Tumlingtar above the Arun River. From here, our route takes us through pretty terraced farmland and a number of delightful villages, before climbing to cross the Shipton La (4229m./13871ft). At the high points of this classic trekking itinerary, the views extend to Makalu and to distant Kangchenjunga. We have a full day to explore above Sherson, gaining surprising views of the Kangshung (east) Face of Everest as well as close-up perspectives of the impressive Chamlang and of Makalu's towering South Face.
