Trip Introduction

The Mera Peak Climbing and Amphu Laptsa  Pass 20 Days is an outstanding introduction to high-altitude mountaineering in the Everest region. Mera (6476m/21,246ft) is the most popular trekking peak in the Nepal Himalaya and this expedition combines climbs on both mountains with a trek through the remote Honku Valley and a crossing of the magnificent and technical Amphu Laptsa Pass. The generous itinerary ensures proper acclimatization and we have plenty of contingency days in the event of inclement weather. Being slightly to the south of the main range, Mera offers spectacular views from Kanchenjunga in the east to the Langtang region in the west.
