kanchenjunga Makalu Everest Traverse Trek

Do I need to retrace back same trail from Makalu Base Camp all the way to start point of trek or is there any other alternatives trail so that I can have some more adventure and explore new region. Makalu Base Camp Trek can be changed to some strenuous grade by extending the trip to Kanchenjunga via Lumba Sumba Pass or to Everest via Sherpani Col.

Sherpani Col - Makalu to Everest Traverse 

Makalu Base Camp Trek can be done on teahouse basis during season time where as during offseason normally local people descend down to nearby village to escape from chilling winter. Shipton La Pass is the most difficult portion of trail as it passes through technical up and down. Makalu Base Camp is a gateway for Everest via world’s technical pass of Sherpani Col at elevation of 6200 m. Climbing guide are needed to fix the rope on pass area, big crew member to brought all equipment are needed so it will be more technical and more expensive as well as more challenging. Trail further continues to west col and descends to Honku Basin then finally traverses Ama Lapcha Pass and descends to Dingboche on Everest Base Camp Trekking Trail. Pervious mountain experiences are required along with basic mountaineering skills and use of climbing gears.

Lumba Sumba Pass - Kanchenjunga to Makalu Base Camp Traverse Trek

Similarly on east there is another pass called Lumba Sumba that lead to Kanchenjunga North Base Camp Area. Although not difficult as much as Sherpani Col, it is still difficult pass to traverse. Ahead from Thudam Village on Makalu Barun National Park there is complete absence of settlement till Olangchungola. Olangchungola is the most remote village development committee on Taplejung on Kanchenjunga Area. Climbing guide is not mandatory however still there might be need of someone who can fix the rope in case of need. Previous mountaineering experiences are most for traversing Lumba Sumba Pass. Starting from Kanchenjunga one can trek all the way to Everest Via Makalu and Sherpani Col that belongs to Great Himalayan Trail Upper Section.
