| Is this trek for you? | |
| Makalu is the fifth highest mountain in the world and is not easy. It is a very serious peak and bad judgement or even bad luck can be fatal. Himalaya Guides Trekking & Mountain Adventuresis a professionally led "non-guided" expedition for experienced mountaneers who want to work as part of a team to tackle the mountain. We say "non-guided" because, compared to guiding operations on alpine-scale peaks such the European Alps, our leader and climbing Sherpa team working with you will not be able to protect your every move. You must therefore have broad mountaineering experience so that you are capable and willing to move between camps unassisted. You will have good support on the mountain from our climbing leader and Sherpa team. |
