Ice Col Trekking (Sherpani Col–West Col–Amphu Lapcha La Pass)
Ice Col Trekking is one of the challenging in Nepal. This trip takes you to the Nepal’s most difficult cliffs passes-- Sherpani Col, West Col and Amphu Lapcha La Pass. This trek follows the trail that gradually ascends and descends through serene pastures of hidden Arun valley. The route to Sherpani Col can be the great challenge while crossing on steep slopes but gives panoramic views of Makalu (8463meters) to the north and the aptly Island Peak (6160meters) to the west corner. This glacier territory surrounded by the remarkable attendance the striking white peaks in the world. This trek requires fully logistic support as it is a truly adventurous course in a remote part of giant Himalayas. A challenging route that makes your journey difficult but a lifetime memorable adventure experience.

Basically, the route over Sherpani Col (southeast ridge) – West Col (south ridge) – Amphu Lapcha La Pass (west ridge) positioned on the three different ridges of Mt. Baruntse. It requires ropes to cross over Amphu Lapcha La Pass and descending due to snow and ice. However, our guide sorts out the problem.
