This walk follows a picturesque and rarely trekked route,
which passes through a number of interesting villages,
offering magnificent views of Mt. Makalu, Mt. Kanchenjunga
and the Khumba-Karna mountain range, especially from
the 4,229m high Shipton-la and Khoma ridge. After following
the normal trail to Sherson, we move towards a slightly
higher camp at the foot of the Barun glacier, to make
our final preparations for the traverse of the three
cols. Ropes will be fixed on the steepest and most exposed
sections of each of the passes, to safeguard the smooth
passage of the group. Breathe-taking views can be seen
from this high-level route of the giant central Himalayan
peaks, including impressive perspective views of Mt.
Everest and Lhotse. As a relaxing finale to this outstanding
adventure, we descend towards the popular Everest trail
of the Khumbu area to Lukla.
