Standing tall at an altitude of 8463 m (27765 ft), Makalu is the fifth highest mountain in the world. It’s located in the Himalayan area in the border between Nepal and China. Its name comes from Sanskrit and means “black mountain”.
Makalu is famous for its impressive size and has a pyramid structure which makes it one of the most spectacular mountains in the world. The terrain is varied with glaciers, snow, ice and rock.
This is a challenging climb that is technically very difficult. So, participants must have an advanced knowledge about mountaineering skills as well as prior climb experience in high altitudes. Additionally, it’s necessary to have an excellent physical condition.
– It’s a great and challenging opportunity for experienced mountaineers that want to climb an 8000 meters peak;
– It offers a huge variety of terrains where climbers can put in practice their mountaineering skills;
– This program also allows participants to appreciate the beauty of the natural surroundings. In addition, we can discover the Nepali culture during our interesting treks through the villages.

I propose a 60-day program, ideal for those mountaineers that want to achieve a great climbing objective. Our expedition will start in the city of Kathmandu in Nepal.
