Being Lukla is the starting and ending point of this trek there are numerous extension options available during this trek. The only thing that matters most is your endurance, budget, and the vacation you have.
Of Course, the trek in itself is a combined trek, but if you crave more adventure and thrill, then to fulfill your excitement level, you can extend your trip in the trails of the Everest Region.
One of the audacious and adventurous extensions is Mera Peak Amphu Laptsa Pass Trek with Everest Base Camp.
The Amphu Laptsa Pass Trek follows the same trekking trail of Mera Peak up to Khare. From Khare instead of heading directly towards the Kongme Dingma and Setopokhari, you can first make your ascent to the Mera Peak.
A climb to the Mera Peak is not going to be easy for anyone. The climb requires practical knowledge regarding the use of technical gears like ice axes, crampons, ropes, and many others.
If you don’t have any previous experience of peak climbing in Nepal, then don’t bother much, our professional guides are always there to train you.
After conquering the Mera Peak, you can return to Khare for an overnight stay. Thereafter the next day continue your trek towards Amphu Laptsa Pass and Everest Base Camp.

Amphu Laptsa Pass Trek with Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulty:
Among several moderate and strenuous treks in the Everest Region, a combined trek to Amphu Laptsa Pass with Everest Base Camp is one of the most challenging long-day treks in the Everest region.
As the trek demands several technical gear and ideas during the trek, previous trekking experience is necessary to conquer this trek.
However, if you have not, don’t worry, our guide will train you properly before the ascent. Those who have previous trekking or peak climbing experience in the Himalayas of Nepal can enjoy the trek more fascinatingly than the inexperienced ones.
Further, the knowledge of technical aspects will be an added advantage for them.
No matter whether you are experienced or inexperienced, if you are thinking of joining this trek, you should prepare yourself for around 7 hours of daily walk throughout the trekking journey.
Speaking of the trekking trails, the trails of the Amphu Laptsa Pass Trek are not frequently visited by trekkers.
Therefore, the trails of the Amphu Laptsa Pass trek are more rustic and challenging than those of the popular Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp treks.
To cross the pass of Chhatra La and Amphu Laptsa, you will require the technical gears.
Though it is not mandatory to trek this region with a guide, to cross these passes, you need them.
Further, for your ease, you should hire a porter to carry your backpacks.
Trekking through the glaciers, moraines and rocky trails is not an easy task for anyone. So, before stepping on such trails, get proper instructions from your guides.
If you are expecting the beautiful lodges and teahouses throughout the trail of Ampu Laptsa Pass Trek with Everest Base Camp, then by expecting so, you are disappointing yourself.
Though most of the places in the Everest Region let you stay on the simple and beautiful teahouses, when climbing towards the trail of Amphu Laptsa Pass, you will have to spend the nights under the tented camps.
That’s why mental preparedness is a must if you want to conquer this trek. As you will be spending most of the days over the altitudes above the 4000m altitude, you have to be cautious regarding acute mountain sickness as well.
Trekking at such altitude, there are high chances of getting caught by altitude sickness, so proper acclimatization and rest are vital on this trek.
Further, you should drink plenty of water, soups, lentils, and other fluidal eateries during the trekking journey.
Regardless of how experienced or fit you are, if you trek this region without maintaining the pace, you are likely to get caught by severe mountain sickness.
Thus, you have to be very careful when you are on the trekking trails of this strenuous trek.
If you notice any altitude sickness symptoms like nausea, vomiting, headache, fever, and shortness of breath then stop climbing further and take proper rest by descending towards the lower altitude.
Apart from all the above, the weather and temperature of any region matter a lot in making your trek more rewarding or exhausting.
In the case of this combined Amphu Laptsa Pass and Everest Base Camp Trek, you will be spending most of your days on the higher altitudes over the altitude of 3000m.
The weather and temperature over 3000m never remain stable. You never know, when the blizzard comes and sweep away everything from your sight.
Therefore, to limit such incidents to some extent, choosing the best time for this trek is always a wise decision.
Best time for Amphu Laptsa Pass Trekking with Everest Base Camp
Trekking in Nepal is possible throughout the year and the same is the case with our combined trek to Amphu Laptsa Pass and Everest Base Camp trek. But, daring these strenuous long days treks without choosing the best time is very risky.
You never know whether you will be able to conquer the trek or not. You even don’t know whether you will be able to return to your home from that challenging trek journey.
As you might be aware the news of lots of death and missing cases in this region. Therefore considering all these things, the Summer and winter trek is not recommended for this region.
With the moderate temperature and stable weather, Spring and Autumn are considered the best time of the year to visit the Amphu Laptsa Pass and Everest Base Camp.
