Makalu Base Camp and Serpani Col Amphu Lapsha Pass

22 Days

Makalu Base Camp and Serpani Col Amphu Lapsha Pass are truly adventurous expeditions to a remote and wild region of the Great Himalayas, with full logistic support. This is a journey that requires a different route and a fresh perspective, and therefore is quite challenging.

Your route traverses a spectacular – seldom visited – region of Nepal and crosses three High Mountain passes. At the final section, it meets with the popular southern approach to Everest Base Camp at Chhukung. The rare views are quite the most breathtaking in the whole Himalayan range: sublime vistas in which are amplified the power of three of the world’s five highest mountains: Makalu, Kanchenjunga and Everest.
