Sherpani Col (6,180m), West Col (6,190m), and Amphu Lapsta Pass (5,850m) are the three challenging high passes in the Makalu region. Makalu region trekking consists of the least walked adventurous trekking trail in Nepal leading you through completely desolate and peaceful surroundings. Sherpani Col, West Col, and Amphu Lapsta Pass trek is the most challenging high-pass trek between Everest and Makalu region. Known as Makalu High Pass trek, it leads you through the part of the Great Himalayan Trails with a thrilling experience. One of the most adventurous trekking trails in Nepal, the Sherpani Col trek enriches your high Himalayan experience during Nepal trekking. The majestic view of the eight-thousanders like Mt. Everest, Mt. Kanchenjunga, and Mt. Makalu are the precious rewards of the Makalu Three Pass trek. The Makalu Three Passes trek rewards you with the breathtakingly beautiful peaks and landscapes of the Everest region and Makalu region. Makalu Barun National Park which surrounds Makalu region has a variety of species of animals and plants for your exploration. The sudden glimpses of snow leopards and red pandas during the Arun Valley trek will please you the most. The dense forests of rhododendron, pine, oak, and fir are equally magnificent sights you have. As the Makalu Three High Passes trek comprises quite challenging passes, you need previous knowledge about trekking in the high Himalayan region.

You have to ascend and descend these about 6,000m high passes of Makalu region with the help of a rope.

Then, the Makalu Three Passes trekking trail crosses many Rai, Chhetri, Tamang, and Sherpa villages exposing their unique culture and traditions.

After crossing the third challenging AmphuLapsta Pass, your trekking trail enters into Everest region from Chhukung village. From Chhukung, you can either end the trekking descending to Namche Bazaar, Lukla, and flying to Kathmandu or do the Everest Base Camp trek.
