hello
this summer i wil go to makalu
so the info i give you is just from books and internet
usual the makalu trekking starts from tumlingtar and goes to makalu bc
and the same way back
this wil take at least 17 days 20 days wil be better i think
you can when you return go of this route about halfway
if you want to know more about this itenerary write to filipkeysers@hotmail.com
season about half september til late november
and late march til late may
i wil go from 10 july til 30 july
you dont need a trekkingpermit only a park entrance fee 2000nr(30$)
accomodation in tumlingtar and 4 hours walking further in kandbari
usual on the first trekday you arive in tumlingtar and walk to kandbari
thereafter i dont know maybe there are some theahouses
dont caunt on it
after 4 or 5 days forget the teahouses or lodges
do you want to know some guides i can give you 3 adresses
oh yeah i heard it often snows in the makalu area
also tumlingtar has an altitude of 400m makalu bc 4850
its a serious difference
good luck with the pre travel arangements
