 This
mountain is an impressive mass of red granite. The Great Black One, so called
due to its dark brooding appearance is considered a massif with a "future".
Makalu lies in the north east region ofand is a close neighbour to Mount Everest.
Despite it being the fifth tallest among the eight thousanders, the mountain is
still virtually 'new'. It was first climbed by a French Team led by Jean Franco
in 1955. The French were the first to reach the Makalu summit back in 1955, a
ear after the Americans set off for the first ever attempt on the mountain. Valuable
sighting and photographs of Makalu were taken during the reconnaissance of the
eastern approaches to Everest by a British Expedition in 1921. Makalu has five
routes and four variations along with other interesting opportunities like the
West Face, the Northeast and North Flanks (Tibet). Our trek follows one of the
most remote and unfrequented areas of Nepal. Starting at Tumlingtar plateau just
above the Arun River, we walk through the snow, rain and cloud prone Kauma. Base
Camp is just south of the snout of the Barun Glacier at an elevation of 4823m.
