Trip Overview

Lemosho Glades Route heads up through an unspoilt, remote, seldom-used trail up to the Shira Plateau. The route is one of the few where an armed ranger accompanies groups, as the forests around the Lemosho Glades have resident wild animals. While the glades used to be teeming ith game, sadly, there is a lot less than there were ten years ago. You will note that on the Lemosho route, you start at a higher altitude than what you end on.

    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.
