Normal route – North West ridge
Mt Makalu (8,463m) an isolated peak between Everest and Kanchenjunga is the fifth highest mountain in the world. The mountain is impressive with perfect pyramid shape and four sharp ridges, makes this mountain all the more spectacular one.
Mt. Makalu is not only a beautiful peak but also challenging and potentially dangerous mountain climb, as only five of its first sixteen attempts were successful. Previously, it had been admired and studied by several Everest parties, but like so many other giants in the Khumbu region, it was not attempted until the summit of Everest had been attained in 1954. It was first climbed by the French in 1955
