Mera Peak Climb with Amphu Lapcha Pass – Off the Beaten Himalayan Adventure

Trip Overview

The Mera Peak Climb with Amphu Lapcha Pass Trek is an extraordinary expedition that takes you deep into the untouched wilderness of Nepal’s remote mountain valleys. This trek veers away from the popular Everest Base Camp trail, leading instead to the isolated and less-traveled Linkhu Khola Valley, surrounded by soaring peaks and serene alpine landscapes.

Mera Peak (6,654m) is Nepal’s highest permitted trekking peak. Although high in altitude, its northern route offers a non-technical ascent, making it accessible to trekkers with basic ice axe and crampon skills. The climb offers a rare chance to witness panoramic views of five of the world’s highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga.

After summiting Mera Peak, the adventure continues through the dramatic and technical Amphu Lapcha Pass (5,845m) into the Khumbu Valley, where the route reconnects with the trail leading to Chhukung, Tengboche, and Namche Bazaar. This trek is ideal for experienced adventurers seeking both solitude and challenge in the heart of the Himalayas.

Trek Highlights:

• Climb the highest trekking peak in Nepal – Mera Peak (6,654m)

• Traverse the thrilling Amphu Lapcha Pass (5,845m)

• Remote alpine valleys and less-crowded routes

• Breathtaking views of Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Makalu

• Immersive experience in Sherpa culture and high-altitude wilderness

• A perfect blend of technical adventure and scenic trekking
