Trip Overview
Amphu Lapcha Pass Trek is another difficult pass of Khumbu region. Amphu Lapcha Pass is not only the high Himalaya summit but also famous for historical sites i.e. monasteries and temples of an old, still unspoiled civilization which attracts the tourists of High Mountains. The trek starts in sub tropical and reaches heights of over 5000m above the sea level. This trek has the characteristic features of a classic expedition. On this tour we will also have a privileged view on Mount Everest, the highest mountain of the world, but our tour won't follow the well-known tracks. It will lead us through barren, uninhabited areas, over glaciers and snow-covered mountain-passes. During the trek, we may climb 2 impressive summits i.e. Mera Peak, 6461m and Island Peak 6189 m. Mera Peak (6,476m/21,247ft) & Island Peak (6,189m/20,305ft) are two of the most popular trekking peaks in the Nepal Himalaya and this expedition combines attempts on both mountains with a trek through the remote Honku Valley and a crossing of the spectacular and difficult Amphu Lapcha Pass. The generous itinerary ensures proper acclimatization and we have plenty of days in the event of inclement weather. Being slightly to the south of the main range, Mera offers spectacular views from Kangchenjunga in the east to the Langtang region in the west. Island Peak is situated right in the heart of the Khumbu area and although it is dwarfed by the enormous Lhotse Face to the north, the views from the summit are truly exceptional.
