Overview
The Sherpani Col Pass Trek are over 6,000 meters. Between Makalu and Everest, it crosses the mountain range. In order to climb the high passes of the “Three Cols”—Sherpani Col, West Col, and Amphu Labsta this trek combines cross-country hiking with mountaineering using fixed ropes and possibly an ice axe. The Great Himalayan Trail, a recently opened route that traverses the nation from east to west through some of the most difficult and breathtaking scenery, now includes this hike.
Being one of the most difficult parts of the Great Himalaya Trail, it takes exceptional fitness to finish the lengthy weeks of trekking, with most days spent at elevations of 4,000 to 6,000 meters.
The path to Everest Base Camp, where mountaineering expeditions depart to climb Everest, is followed in the latter part of the trek. The trek also stops at Gorakshep and Kala Patthar, the Everest viewpoint, which offers breathtaking views of the tallest mountain in the world! One of Nepal’s largest protected areas, the Makalu Barun region is home to 75 species of mammals, 440 species of birds, and 3,000 species of flowering plants, including several Himalayan orchids. This pristine habitat is home to rare species like the Himalayan Thar, snow leopard, and musk deer. This is one of the reasons it is part of the World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) Sacred Himalayan Landscape initiative.

FAQ
- Are the trekking guides and porters licensed/certified?Yes, usually guides and porters have to be licensed and certified in Nepal. It is known that the MoCTCA of Nepal issues licenses to the guide for trekking, ensuring proper training and knowledge of safety, navigation, and first aid. Many guides are certified through a recognized training program, often through the NMA or another accredited agency. In the case of porters, while licenses may not necessarily be in order, it's possible to hire them through reputable trekking companies that make priorities of safety and fair treatment. This means that at the time of booking a trek, it is worth confirming whether or not guides and porters are certified to ensure one will have a safe and enjoyable experience.
- Are the trekking restaurants available at trekking places?Yes, there are many trekking restaurants or 'tea houses' along popular routes in Nepal. These places have simple accommodation and food for trekkers. Here's what you'd usually expect: Meal Options: Most of the tea houses offer a range of local cuisines that include dal bhat, momos, noodles, and pancakes. Most of these places also sell snacks and hot drinks. Accommodation: Most tea houses have simple rooms where trekkers can stay overnight and have well-deserved rest after a very long day of trekking. Variety: The quality and variety of food differ according to the region and the altitude. You will get more options in the so-called popular trekking areas like the Annapurna and Everest regions. Social Atmosphere: Most of the time, the tea houses allow trekkers to come together, share their experiences, and enjoy a warm meal together. Availability: Availability is very common along the well-traveled routes; however, it is quite infrequent in areas that are considered to be more remote. So, better check your route and plan your trip accordingly.
- Are there any age limits for this trek?Generally, there are no strict age limits for trekking in Nepal, as much of it depends upon the individual fitness and experience of the people concerned. The following are a few important aspects to consider:Children Most trekking companies welcome children to go on family-friendly treks, mainly on popular routes such as the Annapurna and Everest regions. Naturally, one would have to be careful in choosing a trek that would suit the child's fitness and capability.Older Adults Participation by older trekkers is also allowed, provided there is good health and stamina to take on the demands of the trek. However, the recommendation is in advance to consult with an old age doctor before going on a trek.Group Considerations Agencies also have age limits for all or specific treks and routes that require further and more critical conditions. In this respect, discussion of such issues with the agency through which one has booked is relevant.Safety Trekkers of any age must pay attention to altitude sickness. Weather conditions may suddenly change. All trekkers should allow for adequate acclimatization and pacing.
- Are you trekking guides and porters trained for first aid?Yes, many trekking guides and porters in Nepal undergo basic first aid training. This training typically covers
- The guides learn basic first-aid abilities, thus enabling them to deal with ordinary injuries and sudden ailments such as cuts, sprains, and altitude sickness.

- Emergency Response Guides are trained in assessing situations and taking necessary actions, which may include the evacuation of trekkers if necessary.
- Basic First Aid Kits Many guides carry with them a basic first-aid kit that may include supplies to treat minor injuries.
- However, the training may vary, and it's always advisable to make inquiries about experience and qualifications from your guide or trekking agency. Always consider personal insurance that covers medical emergencies on a trek.

Severe Symptoms If any of the following symptoms persist, such as severe headache, repeated nausea, dizziness, or any symptoms of AMS, do not continue.2. Altitude SicknessUrgent Action The only thing you can do if you feel that you have altitude sickness is to go down to a lower height. Continuing to trek to high altitude means your case is deteriorating.3. Rest and RecoveryRest for A While Sometimes all you need is rest for one or two days. You can always inform your guide, who will help modify the schedule accordingly.4. Consult Your GuideProfessional Advice Your guide will be trained to observe your condition and make intelligent decisions about your continuation or descent.5. Safety Above AllHealth First Trekkers should not commence the trek if they are ill as it will prove risky for themselves and others in the group.6. Emergency PlanKnow your options: Know how to get back down to a lower elevation or seek medical attention if you need to. What this means, more simply, is that if a person does not feel well, then the concrete evaluation of being sick should be highly considered for taking priority over the continuation of the trek.
- Do I need to buy or can hire trekking gears?Treiking in Nepal, you can buy or hire trekking gear. The elaboration of the two is below:Hiring Trekking GearAvailability You find a number of shops in towns like Kathmandu and Pokhara where you get trekking gear on hire, including sleeping bags, trekking poles, jackets, and boots. Cost-Effective Renting can be cheaper since not everyone may be trekking regularly. Variety and Quality Most rental shops have a selection of good gear. If you're not quite sure what you want to buy, this is an added advantage. Convenience You will not have to travel with extra luggage when you rent equipment.Buying Trekking EquipmentPersonal Preference: Owning your own personal gear may be a much better option if you plan on trekking more often.Familiarity Owning your equipment only means that you have gotten used to the equipment, which might increase your trekking experience.Durability The better the quality of equipment you purchase, the better performance and longevity you get on future treks. Recommendations Renting: If you're new or just going for a small trip, then renting is practical. Buy: For frequent trekkers, buying essential items such as boots, a backpack, and a sleeping bag will give comfort and better fits. Conclusion Both have their merits, so consider the plans you have for trekking and the frequency to opt for what suits you best. For recommendations of rental shops or specific gear, just let me know!
- How difficult is trekking in Nepal?It is important to note that trekking in Nepal can be graded from easy, moderate, to strenuous and challenging based on many factors, including the specific trek, altitude, and weather conditions, and your personal level of fitness. A detailed breakdown follows.1. Trek TypesEasy Treks Suitable for beginners with basic fitness. Examples include the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek and the Kathmandu Valley trek. These treks normally have lower altitudes and shorter daily distances.Moderate Treks Good for people having some trekking experience. The treks include Langtang Valley and Gosaikunda, and good physical fitness is required as the gradient of heights are more and steeper.Difficult Treks Fit for experienced trekkers. These treks include the Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp. They contain difficult terrain, noticeable altitude gain, and longer lengths of time out on the trail.2. AltitudeHigh Altitude Effects Many popular treks reach altitudes over 3,000 meters (10,000 feet). There is an increased risk of altitude sickness with the gain in altitude. Proper acclimatization is imperative. Symptoms of Altitude Sickness Symptoms include headaches, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. Recognition and management of symptoms are important.3. Terrain and ConditionsVaried Terrain Expect rocky paths, steep ascents and descents, with slippery conditions at times. Weather Conditions change suddenly rain, snow, and low temperature impact trekking conditions.4. Physical FitnessPreparation A good level of physical fitness is a necessity.

The longer treks are going to be quite demanding and exhausting.6. Guided vs. Independent TrekkingGuided Treks A guide will involve support, local knowledge, and navigating challenges. Independent Trekking Self-sufficient, requires more navigation skills and experience in managing risk.7. ConclusionThe trekking in Nepal allows for great views and cultural experiences however, most of the treks can be very challenging on the body. It is very important not only to understand the specific challenges of any given trek but also to prepare for them. Since you will always be at a different height, acclimatization and hydration must become your utmost priorities. Do not hesitate to seek help from guides or fellow trekkers when you need it.
- Is all your departure guaranteed to run?A guaranteed departure means that the tour will definitely operate on the day it is scheduled and will not be cancelled. All departures will run except in the event of a natural disaster or other similarly disruptive events that are beyond our control. Almost all of our tour departures are guaranteed to run. Some tours are guaranteed more than 1 year ahead of time. Others may not be guaranteed until 2 months ahead of time. Every week we receive more bookings and this allows for more guaranteed departures. Our itineraries are based on historical and current weather patterns, schedules and popular periods. Our itineraries are flexible so that the more people who book tours which are not 'guaranteed departures', the more tours we can name as guaranteed departures.

AMAZING NEPAL EXPERIENCE WITH Nepal Tour Guide Team
We had the privilege exploring KTM valley with Kumar. He has a way of showing you all facets of Nepal as nobody else will. Not only does he know his country like no other, he also has a special way of connecting you with his culture , people, customs and more like a real tour guide can only do. He is a humanitarian, a good spirit, with a great sense of humor and a heart of gold, someone who CARES about his country and people. You will love the way he guides you and shows you his country. Anything from local foods, to extensive history or just small talk about politics and social issues, Kumar is happy to discuss all. He showed us a side of Nepal, we would have never experienced with a larger bus group. He customized our program to our liking, the way we wanted it, patiently answered all of our questions always friendly , attentive and genuine. We can highly recommend Kumar as your private guide. I have traveled the world extensively (please see my other reviews on tripadvisor) and know the difference between ‘just a guide’ and a true tour director who LOVES his job and connecting with people from all walks of life. Kumar is great in what he does and his personality will make you like him the day you meet. We are still friends and should we return to Nepal, there is no doubt in our minds that we will see him again, not only as our guide but also to reunite with a great friend and human being.

Memorable 4 Days With Tour Guide
My wife and I had the privilege to enjoy a 4 days long private tour with tourguideinnepal.com. Everything was spot on. We had a private driver and a private tour guide for the entire trip, both extremely polite. I can 100% recommend them to others also. I also found their pricing more than fair. Kumar runs the company, he was very helpful when we put together the custom itinerary. Our tour guide was Suvash, probably the most caring guy I’ve ever met. Thanks for the lifetime experience guys!

One Week in Nepal With Tour Guide
I recently spent one week in Nepal and Tour Guide Team Trek provided an extraordinary service with an itinerary suited to my needs and interests, including Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara, detailed cultural and historical explanations when visiting different sites in Kathmandu, and above all, a customer and people-oriented approach to all activities, meals, shopping, etc. Kumar Dahal was my tour guide and it was a pleasure for me to have him showing me his native Nepal. Kumar has excellent English speaking skills and he is willing to take the extra mile to help you have the best trip to this beautiful country. I recommend him and Nepal Tour Guide Team Trek wholeheartedly as the best agency to fulfill your expectations.

Two Nights Was Awesome
I only had two nights in Kathmandu and primarily wanted to do a chopper flight around Everest as well as see as much of Kathmandu as possible. Kumar was amazing and looked after me like family. I did a lot of research and Kumar booked the Chopper flight for me and answered any and all questions I had leading up to it. The Everest day was truly one of the best and awe inspiring days of my life. Kumar also took us to all of the must see sights in Kathmandu. He listened to our needs as well as read our body language for what we required. You must have a guide in places like Kathmandu to understand the history and not miss anything and you won’t regret using Kumar – he is the best!!
Two Weeks In Nepal
We came to Nepal for just under two weeks in March 2017. My husband and I decided to bring my mom for her 60th birthday as it was her lifelong dream to visit Nepal. But weren’t sure what to do while we were there! Luckily, we found Nepal Tour Guide Team, and after a few emails to Kumar, he set up the whole trip for us. Our trip was incredible, and Kumar was wonderful. From Kathmandu to Chitwan, Pokhara and back, Kumar showed us the whole country, and his knowledge was second to none. He arranged all the hotels, the car and driver, the things we did, showed us great places to eat and most importantly, provided great friendship and conversation along the way! We laughed the whole trip and had a wonderful time. The mountains were beautiful, Chitwan was amazing, and the lakeside at Pokhara was definitely my mom’s favorite part. We’re still positive we had the best tour guide and the most skilled driver in the entire country. Kumar is an incredible person and we made a lifelong friend. Even after coming home, we continue to keep in touch, chatting and making video calls. We can’t wait to go back!

Trip Name : Sherpani Col Pass Trek
Trip Overview :
The Sherpani Col Pass Trek are over 6,000 meters. Between Makalu and Everest, it crosses the mountain range. In order to climb the high passes of the "Three Cols"—Sherpani Col, West Col, and Amphu Labsta this trek combines cross-country hiking with mountaineering using fixed ropes and possibly an ice axe. The Great Himalayan Trail, a recently opened route that traverses the nation from east to west through some of the most difficult and breathtaking scenery, now includes this hike. Being one of the most difficult parts of the Great Himalaya Trail, it takes exceptional fitness to finish the lengthy weeks of trekking, with most days spent at elevations of 4,000 to 6,000 meters. The path to Everest Base Camp, where mountaineering expeditions depart to climb Everest, is followed in the latter part of the trek. The trek also stops at Gorakshep and Kala Patthar, the Everest viewpoint, which offers breathtaking views of the tallest mountain in the world! One of Nepal's largest protected areas, the Makalu Barun region is home to 75 species of mammals, 440 species of birds, and 3,000 species of flowering plants, including several Himalayan orchids. This pristine habitat is home to rare species like the Himalayan Thar, snow leopard, and musk deer. This is one of the reasons it is part of the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF) Sacred Himalayan Landscape initiative.

- Magnificent Views: This trip offers views of numerous breathtaking mountains. Makalu and Everest are the two biggest.
- Diverse Landscapes: Trekking through the Makalu Barun National Park at lower elevations offers verdant fields, thrilling river crossings, lush woods, and alpine scenery. As you ascend to higher altitudes, the terrain becomes more arid and stony, with glaciers, snow, and ice in addition to moraine and scree to hike over. The geography of Sagarmatha National Park is first rocky, snowy, and icy, but as you descend in elevation to Lukla, it becomes greener.
- People and Culture: During this walk, you will encounter Sherpa and Rai people. The Makalu side is home to both ethnic groups, but the Everest side is primarily home to Sherpa.
- Unusual Wildlife: The Makalu Barun National Park is home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, such as the red panda and snow leopard.

The Sherpa villages of Dingboche and Pangboche have a longer cultural heritage than the tourism sector. The oldest monastery in the area is Pangboche Monastery. Take a quick look around the monastery and take in the stunning architecture.
Going on, Tengboche is the highest monastery in the area, if not the entire nation. There are breathtaking sweeping views of Everest and other nearby mountains from its grounds. Spend some time in this monastery and consider going to either the early morning or evening puja (religious ceremony).

Lukla to Kathmandu (Flight" }
]Trip Highlights- Magnificent Views: This trip offers views of numerous breathtaking mountains. Makalu and Everest are the two biggest.
- Diverse Landscapes: Trekking through the Makalu Barun National Park at lower elevations offers verdant fields, thrilling river crossings, lush woods, and alpine scenery. As you ascend to higher altitudes, the terrain becomes more arid and stony, with glaciers, snow, and ice in addition to moraine and scree to hike over. The geography of Sagarmatha National Park is first rocky, snowy, and icy, but as you descend in elevation to Lukla, it becomes greener.
- People and Culture: During this walk, you will encounter Sherpa and Rai people. The Makalu side is home to both ethnic groups, but the Everest side is primarily home to Sherpa.
- Unusual Wildlife: The Makalu Barun National Park is home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, such as the red panda and snow leopard. The Everest Region has comparable flora and wildlife. Maybe with the Yeti added
