Sherpani Col Pass Trek
Sherpani Col Pass Trek
Makalu Region
Overview
The Sherpani Col Pass Trek stands as one of Nepal’s most feared and risky adventures. Even seasoned trekkers compare its triumphant completion—unscathed—to conquering Mt. Everest itself. Yet, this extreme high-risk journey rewards boldly with breathtaking natural beauty that leaves adventurers spellbound.
Stunning panoramic views of iconic peaks like Kanchenjunga, Makalu I and II, Jannu, Baruntse, Lhotse, Everest, Ama Dablam, Pumori, and Thamserku make the Sherpani Col Pass Trek utterly irresistible. The raw, untouched wilderness and dramatic landscapes deliver an unforgettable visual spectacle found nowhere else in the Himalayas.
Your epic Sherpani Col Pass Trek begins in Tumlingtar, following the Arun Koshi River to Chichira. The route pushes toward Makalu Base Camp before tackling three formidable high passes: Sherpani Col (6,110m), West Col (6,135m), and Mingbo La (5,817m)—a true test of endurance and spirit.
