Sherpini col is considered as a difficult pass in Nepal only suitable for experienced trekkers and climbers. This trek starts at Tumlingtar where the trekking trails enter the highest valley in the world to begin your journey to the base of Mt. Makalu, the fifth highest mountain of the world (8,481m).The route offers opportunity to explore cloud-forest jungle, high alpine terrain, orchids and rural farm and market villages and cross along the Pass yak pastures towards the endless ice fields of Mt. Makalu, Baruntse and Sherpani col. The Thiarea Pass offers the massif views of mount Makalu, Kanchanjanga, Everest, Lotse, Ammadablam, Choo yo etc. Nestled in the lower reaches of these valleys are communities of Rai, Sherpa, and Shingsawa (Bhotia) farmers. They are the preserver of unique biological and cultural resources of the area. The forest of the region shelters the endangered red panda and musk deer, ghoral, Himalayan tahr and leopard and more than 400 bird species, at least 16 of which are extremely rare
