Amphu Lapcha Pass trekking in Nepal's Khumbu region is one of the more challenging trekking destinations for tourists. Amphu Lapcha Pass goes beyond the excess tourism in the Everest regions. It is one of the more wild and less visited areas in the Khumbu Valley. Although the valley is well known to trekkers, it allows climbers and nature lovers to have an isolated experience in the Khumbu.
The treks start after a 35-minute scenic flight from Kathmandu to Luka, where you can see panoramic views of the mighty Himalayas, lush green forests, and endless winding rivers. After your flight, you will pass through many traditional villages settled deep in the tropical jungles and hills, eventually leading to the town of Paiya. The trek starts in subtropical rainforests and reaches the high alpine environment at heights over 5000m above sea level. This trek has several characteristic features of a classic expedition approach, with stunning close-up views of Mount Everest 8848m, Mount Lhotse 8516m, Mount Makalu 8463m, Mount Cho Oyu 8201m, and 19 other snowy mountains in the Everest region.
Although Amphu Lapcha pass trekking is a 4 season trek, the most suitable time is during autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May). Trekkers experience trekking, knowledge of high altitude sickness, be physically fit, and have appropriate mountain equipment, including
synthetic clothing.

To provide you service in reasonable cost and attempt to address your each requirement we desired to provide you with some information which directly affects the cost and also helps us breakdown the cost.

Satori Adventures therefore desires to provide guideline for the first-time visitors or travelers so that they can comfortably start the process to book the selected package legally. Before starting the booking process we always advise our trekkers, travelers and climbers to intelligently check whether the company is genuine and whether they are fully safe to travel in the company’s guidance. We ask them to be acquainted with the company they want book their holiday trip with. Is the company genuine and authorized from Government of Nepal, Office of the Company Registrar, Department of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Nepal Rastra Bank ‒Central Bank of Nepal (authorized for foreign currency), Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the Department of Cottage & Small Industries). Are they financially secured and environmentally conscious? We advise them to make sure about these formalities because there are some companies in Nepal that have been running business without abiding by the rules and regulation of the Government. Some companies were once registered but by now their licenses have already been expired and yet they have providing the services illegally.
On many occasions, Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal have found that many foreigners’ tour operators, NGOs and INGOs have been involved in directly operating tours, trekking, and mountaineering holiday adventures without having government license and abiding by the Government rules. It has been also found that many individuals, freelance guides and porters have been arranging trips illegally by creating their own personal website. We have observed that many trekkers and climbers face a host of problems once they arrive in Kathmandu as they lack adequate information. Many of them file complaints to Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal for legal action such as the refund of the advanced payment. There is hardly any justice given to the cheated clients. Thus, so as to prevent all these probable problems we request our travelers to check the company before booking any trip to the Himalayas.
