Introduction

Mera Peak with Amphu Labtsa Pass is the most adventurous trekking peak in Nepal that stands within the Mahalangur section of the Everest region. The Mera Peak is one of the highest Trekking peaks of Nepal categorized by NMA (Nepal Mountaineering Association). There are three different faces of Mera Peak; Mera central face at 6,461m/21,198ft altitude, Mera north face at 6,476m/21,247ft altitude, and Mera South face at 6,065m/19,898ft altitude where the popular Mera Peak Climbing is Mera central Peak and remainder of the faces aren't that popular.

Mera Peak is situated within the Makalu Barun park on the border of the Khumbu region. At 6476m it's the very best of the Nepal Trekking Peaks, and commands one among the simplest viewpoints in Nepal; there are panoramic views taking in, among others, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyo, Kanchenjunga, Ama Dablam, Chamlang and Baruntse.

Mera Peak with Amphu Labtsa Pass Overview

Climbers will get to make use of crampons to form the ascent. They will carry an extended ice ax for support and can be roped to a guide across the glacier on summit day. First-time users of those aids are going to be given instruction on their use below base camp. The ascent from the Mera La is gradual and sustained, before reaching a brief. But straightforward climb up a 40-degree slope to Mera’s central summit. Note that the marginally higher North Summit could be heavily crevassed. Hence, expeditions will currently head for the Central Summit nearby (6461m).

 

On the way to Mera Peak with Amphu Labtsa Pass you will discover the upper Honggu. This may be a true mountain wilderness where you're unlikely to satisfy many other trekkers. Therefore the character of the terrain is markedly different from the Mera approach route. The valley is high and open, fringed with broad moraines and sharp white peaks, making this a neighborhood of bright light and changing color, and an exquisite place to camp.

The precipitous crest of the Amphu Lapcha has got to be one of the foremost dramatic crossings within the Himalaya. Ascended with the protection of fixed ropes over straightforward icefall, you emerge onto an airy promontory, with the bottom simply sweeping far away from your feet into the deep Imja Khola Valley — the vast wall of Lhotse, with Everest peaking over its left shoulder, rears abreast of the other side, dwarfing the apparently diminutive Island Peak within the foreground. The descent requires a brief abseil to a broad snow terrace. Although the pass is at a lower altitude than Mera Peak, it's trickier due to steepness. Once over the Amphu Lapcha, you enter the Sagarmatha park, and therefore the whole character of the terrain changes again.

 

Furthermore:

Your return to Lukla is via the Imja Khola and Dudh Koshi river valleys. Along which the quality approach to Everest is formed. You’ll enjoy the majestic panorama of the side of Ama Dablam (6856m), and undergo interesting settlements like Tengboche, which features a prominent monastery, and Namche Bazaar, which has an addictive buzz of pleasure, whether heading up or heading down. Col. Jimmy Roberts and Sen Tenzing made the first climbing of Mera peak 6,461m on 20th May 1953AD.

    Great Trip We had a great time in Nepal thanks to Pradip and his team! From landing to take off we were thoroughly looked after. We were greeted at the airport and the same person helped us in Katmandu both sides of the trek, picking us up from our domestic flight and again taking us to the airport at the end. He was always early and received a sweet momento on arrival and departure. Due to weather we unfortunately had to make a last minute decision to change our route; Pradip and the guide See Wa were very accommodating and we easily changed from ACT to Poon Hill and ABC. He quickly sent us a new itinerary and we were picked up the following morning. We were given options as to how we wanted to get to Pokhara and Pradip made this seamless for us. Many trekkers also had to change their route to ABC rather than other routes like ACT and EBC which meant the tea houses were very busy. Our guide ensured that we always had a room to stay in and was flexible with our itinerary if we wanted to walk further/fit in a visit to the hot spring. At times it was a bit difficult to communicate with the guide due to the language barrier and we found we were fitter so would often be walking ahead with one of the porters but over all we had a good experience and would recommend.

    16 day tour to Gokyo Ri & EBC My girlfriend and I went on a 16 day tour to Gokyo Ri and Everest Base Camp and were in Nepal for almost 4 weeks. All I can say is that Pradip is an outstanding person. He took care of us from day one in Kathmandu, was extremely helpful and did everything so that we felt good and secure, not just on the trekking trail but also at every place we stayed in Nepal. Unforgettable experience which I highly recommend all of you share !

    Gokyo Ri & Everest Base Camp Trek - January 2022 Cet agence touristique est réellement à l'écoute des besoins de ses clients et tente toujours de répondre à toutes leurs questions. J'ai pu tout organiser à distance avec Pradip Sharma qui a été très transparent sur les tarifs pratiqués et m'a accompagné dans la préparation de cette aventure, notamment en me guidant dans mes derniers achats à Katmandou et en m'évitant les arnaques.Pendant la randonnée, mon guide Mane s'est montré très professionnel lorsque la haute altitude est venue altérer ma condition physique. Son soutien et ses conseils ont été indispensables. Il est préférable d'organiser cette marche au printemps ou à l'automne pour éviter le froid pouvant aller jusqu'à -18°C...Il faut une dizaine de jours soit pour Gokyo Ri, soit pour EBC. Pour boucler les deux en un coup, il faut 15 jours.L'expérience est intense et parfois difficile mais reste inoubliable.
