ALTITUDE ACCLIMATIZATION

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".

Excellent service and a welcome by Makalu Adventure

I've known and worked with Mohan and Makalu Adventure for nearly 15 years. In that time I've led many treks and high altitude expeditions to Nepal (15 expeditions over 8000m and counting). His company provides an excellent service and a welcome that I look forward to every season. The Thamel Eco Resort is a center of tranquility in Kathmandu and the perfect place to start and finish the Himalayan Adventure. The staffs are now like family and I hope to return for many years with the guarantee of safety and security that he offers in the mountains.

The best service as always.

Makalu Adventure was a great team of professionals. I joined the Everest expedition team in 2016 as recommended by the organiser Mr. Mohan. The services provided to us during the entire journey was absolutely amazing. We were following the lead of the Sherpa crew, they were so much helpful and always kept the team members comfort and necessaries in a very high priority, never failing to provide us the best service and proper guidance. It was unfortunate we had to turn back from 8300 meters due to the bad weather condition that became worse and remained for days. I’ve done other few trips with Makalu Adventure including the Mera Island and Amphu Laptsa Pass, I will definitely go back to Nepal and complete my climb. If you are reading this and looking for the best local operator, then you are in the right place.

Makalu Adventure team was so professional, cooperating and supportive

We went on Everest Expedition from South Side on Spring 2017 with Makalu Adventures. It was such a thrilling experience. The team was so professional, cooperating and supportive. The company's base services were excellent too. Everything was well organized and the food was good. A lot better than expected really. The equipment we used for our climb were in good state. The team and the Sherpa helped us alot in how to use them. They shared us their experience and their experience made the climb so much easier. It was an amazing adventure.

Everest Nepal 8848m Adventure Journey

It is the biggest achievement for me as an adventurer. I made my first attempt with a S.A. team on 2015 with Makalu Adventure, and had to go back down due to the massive earthquake on 12 April. Mr. Mohan Lamsal helped me fulfil my dream 2 years later, thanks to him and the Nepal government for allowing us a second chance. I stepped on Mt. Everest Summit on a morning of 25 May 2017.
I was truly impressed with the crew on my first attempt. Mr. Mohan arranged me the same crew during my next attempt. I joined the Makalu Adventure Everest Expedition in the capacity of a Leader this time and made it to the summit. Makalu Adventure is highly recommended for climbing in Nepal. I got the best service from the Hotel in Thamel to the tents they settled in all the camps, Mr. Mohan and Phurba gave us no chance to complain.

We successfully climbed the divine Mt Everest

I write this review to thank Makalu Adventure for a great time throughout our journey. This was the second time we visited Nepal for the same Everest Expedition from South side. During our first visit in 2015, there was a major earthquake in Nepal which lead to termination of the expedition. The team was fast and professional enough to get us to safety immediately.
Then, in 2017, our South Africa group came back to Nepal to finish what we started. We successfully climbed the divine Mt Everest. The journey thanks to Makalu Adventure was so well organized. We didn’t have to worry about anything. The team was so efficient and professional. The services were really great. All the equipments were well maintained and in good condition. Thank you Mr. Mohan and the team for a thrilling adventure. Hope to visit soon again.

Well organized and heart-racing adventure to Mt. Everest

Well organized and heart-racing adventure to Everest Expedition. Great work Makalu Adventures for executing the journey with such excellence. We got to sleep in the Base camp of the highest mountain which we later summitted too. It was such an amazing feeling to see the view from Everest. This entire journey was so thrilling and serene all thanks to Makalu Adventures.

Mt. Everest 2015, The day that Earthquake Hit Nepal

I led the South African Mt. Everest South-face Expedition with my 5 team mates on April 2015, with Mohan and his amazing crew of Makalu Adventure. I must say, we had a great time until the day, Earthquake gave us a visit. I am thankful for the decision we took to go down to Namche Bazar after spending a couple of days at the Base Camp, for a better acclimatization as we had quite a good time frame. That was when we felt the nature start shaking the land below our foot. We were so lucky to be at Namche Bazar, the massive avalanche swept away all the setups of the expedition and unfortunately 24 lives, may their soul rest in peace.
My team was having a great time, we would look to the summit every day increasing the ambition to step on it. The wonderful Himalayan views and always smiling Sherpa crew, I remember our cook Purna & Aangmu making us the variety of Himalayan delicacies and many continental foods every day and sometimes the powerful meal “Daal-bhat”, the Sherpa Leader Phurba Wanchhu of Makalu Adventure always knew what he was doing and made us a perfect plan, unfortunate of the natural disaster, all the fixed-ropes and ladder on Everest were gone, so was our dream of Mt Everest. Mohan is an old friend and possibly the most professional tourism man in Nepal I could’ve relied upon. I truly recommend Mohan and Makalu Adventure for something as big as the Everest Expedition.

Appriciated service by Makalu Adventure

I was traveling with my wife and son to Nepal in 2015 for the Everest Expedition. We were together for 14 days at Everest Base Camp during my training, then my family returned back and I set my journey for Expedition. We were really excited and we were recommended to Makalu Adventure by a family friend. He had chosen Makalu Adventure for his last visit in Nepal. So we did the same. I remember starting our trek to Lobuche that day and we didn’t even get halfway when we started experiencing earthquakes.

It was very terrifying and the expedition was halted. Later that day the whole Expedition was cancelled because the earthquakes were very seriously damaging. However, the team was really calm and made sure we will get proper accommodation. They made arrangements for our stay, food, and even for the flights without delay. Really grateful to the team. They were such a great help. Although we didn’t get to complete the journey it was fun while it lasted. Will visit again. Stay safe.

Excellent Base Camp Service. Highly appreciate.

Visited Nepal for Everest Expedition in Spring 2013. Amongst many local trekking and tours outfitters, we choose Makalu Adventure. We summitted Everest from the south side and that involvement with the team and nature was out-of-the-world experience. I greatly admire their journey plan and the way it was executed. Everyone in the team was so professional and friendly. What I appreciate the most was the helpful climbing Sherpas Phurba Wangchu Sherpa and Phur Semba Sherpa, they were so helpful, energetic and helped us all the way. We were impressed by the Basecamp Services of Maklau Adventure during our Everest Expedition. Throughout the 66 days of the journey, the quality of food was good and hygienic. The equipment was in a good state. The training sessions and the services were top-notch.
Highly recommend Makalu Adventure for amazing treks, tours and mountaineering.
