The key to any successful high altitude adventure is acclimatisation....”Time spent on acclimatisation is never wasted”. And this is particularly true when attempting Mt. Everest by the North Col, North Ridge route. Unlike the Nepal side, there is no steady walk-in, you drive all the way to Base Camp at 5,150m. We now add additional acclimatisation days in Lhasa and along the way for those arriving by air. And similar acclimatisation days for those traveling overland. The seeds of a successful Everest expedition are sewn long before you reach the mountain.

To get the most from your trek, and to stay safe, it is important to follow acclimatization guidelines. At Makalu Adventure, whenever possible, we follow the acclimatization formula set out by Drs Jim Duff and Peter Gormly; experts in Wilderness Medicine. "Above 2000m, altitude illness is a possibility and above 2500m it becomes common".
"As a rough guide, above 2500m the maximum daily height gain between sleeping altitudes should not exceed 400m, with a rest day every third day or after every 1000m of sleeping ascent".
"Avoid overexertion and breathlessness while acclimatizing, stay well hydrated, avoid alcohol, excess caffeine, salt and protein, your diet should be 70% carbohydrate above 3500m".
Makalu Adventure has been trading for over 25 years; is one of the leading trek and expedition agents in Nepal and is used as in-country agent by several international adventure companies.
