Day 2
You will spend the second day sightseeing around Kathmandu - there’s the monkey temple, the Boudhanath Stupa and some ancient heritages of Nepal to be visited. In the latter half of the afternoon our guides will brief you and help you sort out all the equipment for the trip.
Day 3-4
On this day, we are busy for briefing about expedition, documentation and last minute shopping and preparation for departure to the trekking and climbing route. You will be kept in get set position.
Day 5
Take a morning flight to the Tumlingtar Airport where a 4X4 will be waiting to take you to Chichila.

The first trekking day is comparatively easy and the walk between Chichila and Num takes only 4 hours if you are a really good hiker. Since it is your first day trekking, you can walk leisurely and enjoy the scenery around you.
Day 7
The trail first drops steeply to a bridge across the Arun River and then climbs up to the village of Seduwa.
Day 8
A relatively short and easy hike to Tashigaon, the last permanent before the Shipton La.

The trail starts climbing as soon as you start walking, passing through a forest before you reach the grazing land of Kauma Kharka, your camp for next day’s expedition across the Shipton La Pass.
Day 10
Cross the Shipton La, a tough pass which offers some spectacular views of Mount Makalu, before descending to Dobato.
Day 11
The trail first descends steeply to the Barun River as you walk beside the river through a gorge to an open valley before reaching your campsite at Yangri Kharka.
Day 12
Follow the river enjoying some superb mountain vistas before you make your way to Lengmale Kharka, another grazing area and your camp for tonight.
Day 13
Not much ascents and descents, the trail climbs only 100 meters as you walk through a beautiful alpine setting to Sherson.

An entire day in Sherson. Enjoy the mountain vistas around
Day 15
Hike to Makalu Base Camp to begin your preparation for the expedition.

Day 53
Catch an early morning flight to Kathmandu and spend the rest of the day strolling around the eateries and souvenir shops of Thamel.
Day 54-55

Again our representatives will be there to transfer you to the airport and bid you farewell.
