Mt. Makalu was first climbed by a party of French in 1955. In 1921 British Everest reconnaissance was a first who mapped and photographed from the Tibetan side of Mt. Makalu. Hillary and Shipton photographed mount Makalu in 1951. They approached the peak a year after the failure of their mount Cho Oyu expedition. In 1954 US team was the first to attempt on mount Makalu and they trekked all the way from the Indian border to near Biratnagar. At the same time, the British team advanced the mountain, but this expedition was dropped when Hillary became suddenly seriously ill and had to be left. In the autumn of 1954, a French team tried the peak. In the following spring they successfully climbings were made by three teams of French climbers on successive days.

The fourth or final section begins from 70 to 75 degrees elevation’s rock pillar which leads to the west ridge at 8,000 meters height till to the top of the mountain.

FAQ

Yes, we are. We have been organizing treks, tours, and Expeditions for our beloved valued clients that go beyond two decades. We’ve enjoyed always nothing more than this.

All of the guides are specialists in their work and speak fluently English and other languages too, most are born in the areas they escort trekkers to and have many years of experience in guiding foreign travelers. It’s compulsory to carry the first aid with them when they are on the trek as they are trained too.
