Mera peak climbing Amphu Lapcha pass and Island Peak climbing trek is one of the challenging trekking in Khumbu Himalaya region. Amphu Lapcha pass trek takes us away from the less touristy in Everest region including climbing the Mera peak and after pass, Island Peak climbing. Mera peak is considered one of the major, highest and popular trekking peaks in Nepal rises to the south of Everest Mera peak climbing and Amphu lapcha pass trekking is one of the wildest and less discovered areas in the Khumbu Valley despite the Valley being well known to trekkers, climbers and nature lovers from the whole world. Mera Peak, the most beautiful peak in the region is one of the fabulous attractions in this region. Another exciting and charming reason to visit this region is to cross the Amphu Lapcha Pass, while being in the lap of Lhotse, Nuptse, Amadablam, Makalu and Baruntse peaks. The routes crossing Amphu Labtsa and the Mingbo La provides  some the most adventurous trekking with spectacular scenery through remote glaciated valleys and passes. We have the flight service to Lukla from Kathmandu to start the trek and we climb Mera Peak first. After reaching the top of Mera Peak, we continue through the Hinku Valley, cross the Amphu Lapcha and reach the lap of Amadablam including Island Peak Climbing. From here we head for Tengboche and return to Lukla through Sherpa villages and fly back to Kathmandu. We will arrange the Mera peak climb and Amphu lapcha pass trek according to trekkers/mountaineers holiday schedule. We will walk along a high rocky ridge through dense forests and across several streams before reaching the pass that will take us from the Khumbu into the Hinku Valley. Trekking and camping in this wild land of abundant rhododendron and Himalayan pine forests is indeed an impressive experience. At Tangnag, we will rest and explore the huge moraine and the beautiful glacial lake north of the village. We will have the option to climb Mera Peak, first climbed in May 1953. We will continue north through the uninhabited Hunku Valley with constant views of magnificent mountains. After several days camping beside the lovely lakes Dudh and Panch Pokhari we’ll climb over Amphu Lapcha.
