Overview
Overview
The Mera Peak & Amphu Lapcha Pass Trek is one of Nepal’s most challenging and rewarding high-altitude adventures, combining the ascent of Mera Peak (6,476 m) with the spectacular crossing of Amphu Lapcha Pass (approximately 5,845 m) in the Everest region.
This expedition takes adventurers deep into the remote landscapes of the Khumbu and Hinku valleys, passing through traditional Sherpa villages, pristine forests, high-altitude valleys, glaciers, and dramatic Himalayan terrain. The journey combines classic trekking with technical mountaineering and one of the most demanding high passes in Nepal.
The summit of Mera Peak offers extraordinary panoramic views of some of the world’s highest mountains, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Kanchenjunga. After the summit, the adventure continues toward Amphu Lapcha Pass, where trekkers encounter steep snow and ice sections, fixed ropes, rappelling, and glacier terrain.
At Go Purna Trek, we provide carefully planned Mera Peak and Amphu Lapcha Pass expeditions supported by experienced climbing guides, proper acclimatization, technical equipment, and professional high-altitude logistics.
This adventure is best suited to experienced trekkers and climbers with good physical fitness and previous high-altitude trekking or mountaineering experience.

- Mera Peak
- Mera Peak stands at 6,476 meters and is the highest trekking peak in Nepal.
- The climb involves glacier travel and basic technical mountaineering. The summit provides one of the most spectacular panoramas in the Himalayas, with views toward Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Kanchenjunga.
- Although Mera Peak is sometimes described as a trekking peak, its altitude and weather conditions make proper preparation, acclimatization, and professional climbing support essential.
- Amphu Lapcha Pass
- Amphu Lapcha Pass is one of the most technically demanding high passes in Nepal.
- The pass connects the Hinku Valley with the Imja Valley and requires experience with steep snow and ice terrain, fixed ropes, crampons, harnesses, and rappelling.
- Crossing the pass involves challenging alpine conditions and should only be attempted with experienced mountain guides and appropriate equipment.
