Sherpani Col Pass Trek

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.
