Shersong can be that is located at the elevation of five thousand and two
hundred meter from sea level. Not only for trekking even for expedition Makalu
is considered as technically difficult. Short flight from Kathmandu further
east of Lukla will shift us on tiny airstrips of Shankhuwasabha. It is land of
Sherpa People and Makalu Barun Conservation Area is considered as most
beautiful area for floral stuffs as it belongs to one of the most raining
portion of Nepal. As a result of regular favorable rain area is always lush
green toward Barun Valley. In past right ahead of Tashi Gaon there is no any
teahouses where trek used to camping up to Makalu Base Camp. Now days there are
few temporary stone huts in between Tashi Gaon and Makalu Base Camp which
result of possibilities of teahouse trek too where one need to compromise
little bit for accommodation and food. Shipton La Pass is considered as one
difficult portion of trek that connects Upper Makalu Valley with lower Tashi
Gaon and Num eventually up to Shankhuwasabha.

Normally
people return from Makalu Base Camp to Khadbari and fly back to Kathmandu where
as some extremely pro alpinist traverse all the way to Khumbu Valley on Everest
via Sherpani Cole that is quite often known as Makalu to Everest Traverse.
Similarly there is another high alpine pass named Lumba Sumba Pass which
connect Makalu with Olangchungola and that nowadays is know as Lumba Sumba Pass
Trek. Challenging Makalu Base Camp Trek is good enough to endure your adventure
test where for more challenge try to traverse to Everest or Kanchenjunga that
add twist on the trail. Most recommended time period for Makalu Trek is from
October to November. However few countable trekkers go for adventure during
monsoon but it is almost impossible during mid winter like middle of December
to start of March.
