Everest 3 Peak Climbing
Highlights
Summit Mera, Island, and Lobuche Peaks
Experience the Everest circuit trek & climb, including Amphu Lapcha Pass
Fully guided climbs with a 1:3 Sherpa guide-to-client ratio
Ideal adventure to develop mountaineering skills
The Three Peaks Climb in Nepal is a fantastic way to introduce yourself to Himalayan mountaineering, offering the opportunity to ascend three prominent 6000m peaks in a single trip.
Mera Peak, Island Peak, and Lobuche Peak are among the most sought-after peaks in the Everest region. Our specialized Three Peaks itinerary allows climbers to take on these three iconic summits, providing a comprehensive Himalayan experience.
This incredible adventure combines the ascent of three 6000m peaks with a traverse of the Amphu Lapcha Pass at 5,700m. It’s the ultimate opportunity to practice your mountaineering skills in the heart of the Himalayas. Starting with Mera Peak and ending with Lobuche Peak, the route takes you through the scenic Chukung valley after crossing Amphu Lapcha Pass.
The journey starts and finishes at Lukla, following a full circuit of the Mera and Khumbu Valleys over 30 days. The trek to Mera Peak Base Camp is carefully planned for acclimatization, offering a unique cultural experience through picturesque villages and forests.
After summiting Mera Peak, we head toward Island Peak via the Amphu Lapcha Pass, entering the Everest region. Island Peak involves more technical challenges than Mera, including crevasse crossings and steep ridges. Our final climb, Lobuche East, is the most difficult of the three, with steep, icy slopes leading to the summit.
Key Summits:
Mera Peak [6,461m/21,193ft]: The highest trekking peak in Nepal. Although non-technical, a good fitness level is required. The climb rewards you with spectacular 360-degree views of Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Kanchenjunga.
Island Peak [6,189m/20,305ft]: This climb requires technical skills, navigating through ridges, glaciers, and steep sections, with stunning views of Lhotse and Amadablam.
Lobuche East [6,119m/20,075ft]: The most challenging of the three climbs, with steep, icy slopes. However, the summit rewards climbers with breathtaking views of the Khumbu Mountains, including Everest.

Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla and trek to Chhutang [2800m/9184ft] Duration: 3- 5 hours
Today, we will take an early morning scenic flight from Kathmandu to the airstrip in Lukla. Lukla is the gateway to Khumbu and the entire Everest region. From Lukla, we start our trek heading east into the thick forest on the hillside below the Kalo Himal Ridge. There are several trails that head away from the main trail on this section, so sticking to the group is the best option before arriving at Chhutang.

Leaving Chhutang we will follow the trail that gradually ascends and steepens as we head towards the crossing of Zatrawala Pass at 4600 meters. Our tiring climb to the top of the pass is rewarded with magnificent views of Numbur Himal, Kongdi Ri, Karyolang Peak and other surrounding peaks. Our trek goes along a level path for almost two hours before descending all the way to Tuli Kharka.
Trek from Tuli Kharka to Kothe [4182m/13716ft] Duration: 6-7 hours.
From Tuli Kharka, our trail is a mixture of both uphill and downhill trekking through dense forest filled with rhododendron, oak, pine and juniper trees.

We will enjoy the magnificent view of the Northern Face of Mera Peak from Khare. Besides, Khare offers a number of good hikes for exploration and acclimatization.
Acclimatization day at Khare.
Acclimatization is essential in higher altitudes to avoid mental and physical sickness. As we are above the 5000 meters altitude, we will spend a rest day at Khare for acclimatization and exploration.
