This amazing climbing adventure combines two popular climbing peaks in Nepal in one trip. The Ama Lapcha Pass, which connects Makalu and Everest Regions, is part of the Great Himalaya Trail (GHT),, which spans the country’s width at a high elevation.Crossing this Pass is technically challenging, so climbing two peaks in one trip makes this a climbing trip for those with previous high-altitude climbing experience.

Start your adventure by heading south of Lukla airport, leaving behind the main and busy Everest Base Camp trail. With Mera Peak being considered the easier peak, we climb that one first, giving you time to acclimatize and gain confidence in your climbing skills before attempting the more difficult of the two.

Before Mera Peak, the teahouses offered only basic accommodation as this route saw fewer tourists. But the stunning views of Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu from the summit of Mera Peak make up for this slight discomfort. Base Camp at Mera Peak is situated at 5,300 m, with High Camp at 5,800 m.After climbing Mera Peak and crossing the Ama Lapcha Pass, we enter the Everest Region via Chukung. From here, we reach Island Peak.

After climbing Island Peak, you can either descend down to Lukla for the flight back to Kathmandu or add 3-4 days to your trip to Everest Base Camp and follow the classic EBC route back to Lukla via Kalapatthar, Tengboche, and Namche Bazaar. Please confirm this at the time of booking.Magical Nepal works with experienced, professional Sherpa guides for the whole trip. We provide one main climbing guide for 3-4 climbers. We recommend clients have had previous high-altitude climbing experience.
