Makalu Ice Col trekking is a classic trekking trail that takes you across the technically challenging Sherpani Col, West Col, and Amphu Lapcha La Pass. The difficulty in trekking along this trail rewards its visitors with unsurpassed views of the Makalu (8,463m) and the Island (6,160m) peaks.
The trail passes through the Arun valley, across a serene glacier territory surrounded by the white snow giants. An experienced guide and a full support team are essential for this trek as some parts of this trek are technically challenging. We require ropes to cross over the Amphu Lapcha La Pass which is sometimes covered with snow and ice. In this trek, we cross the Sherpani Col, West Col, and the Amphula Lapcha La Pass, and all of them are located on the ridges of Mt. Baruntse.
