Everest Three Peak Climbing: Everything You Need To Know. The three peaks climb in Nepal offer an exceptional start to classic Himalaya mountaineering by ascending three prominent six-thousand peaks in a single trip. We will climb three stunning peaks reaching over 6,000 meters (20,000 feet), providing some of the most incredible views in the world.
Join the expedition for a trek across Gokyo Lake, three high passes, and other hidden jewels in the Everest area. Enjoy the incredible experience of climbing Mera Peak (6,476M), Island Peak (6189M), and Lobuche East (6119M), as well as the mountain and Sherpa cultures.
Mount Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, and Kangchenjunga are five 8,000-meter summits that can be seen from the top of Mera Peak, in addition to numerous other Himalayan peaks. The most difficult of the three summits above 6000 meters in this expedition is Island Peak 6189M. Before or after the summit, climbers will ascend or descend a steep 90-degree wall by passing via a steel ladder to span the crevasse holes. Another 6000M summit on the agenda, the Lobuche summit, is moderately difficult yet technically challenging.
Climbing on the Three Peaks of Nepal is a little challenging, with Island Peak being the hardest (2B) climb. Anyone in decent physical shape who has a passion for great adventure can do it.
Starting with Mera Peak and finishing with Lobuche Peak whilst passing via Amphu Lapcha Pass. The Pass connects Mera with the picturesque Island Peak-adjacent Chukung valley.
Mera Peak (6,461 m/21,193 ft)
The Mera Peak Climb is for all adventure enthusiasts, who have the desire and determination to get the most out of their trip in the Himalayas since it is the highest trekking peak in Nepal and progresses through a non-technical route. All you need to get started is a healthy level of fitness. Views of Makalu, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, and other summits and mountains are our reward for completing the climb. One of Nepal’s most beautiful places offers visitors a 360-degree panorama of the country’s shimmering mountains.
Island Peak Climb [6,189m/20,305ft]
Island Peak, also known locally as Imja Tse, is a lively and well-known trekking mountain and the ideal beginning place for the Everest Three Peak excursions. Where we can see the stunning panorama of the south faces of Nuptse and Lhotse. As the path leads us through a scramble of rocks, ridges, and glaciers, climbing Island Peak needs technical expertise. To reach the summit, where we can see Lhotse, Amadblam, and other nearby peaks and summits, we must ascend through a strenuous portion of the terrain.
Lobuche East (6,119 m/20,075 ft)
At the end of the Three Peaks Climb, we will embrace the great challenge of Lobuche as it will be the most strenuous. Lobuche, which lies close to the Khumbu Glacier, features two noteworthy peaks: Lobuche Far East and Lobuche East. At 6145 meters, Lobuche East is 26 meters higher and somewhat more difficult than Island Peak, yet it is also incredibly rewarding.
Additionally, this excursion will take you to some of the most well-known locations in the Everest area, which provide breathtaking views of Everest and other beautiful landscapes.

Climbing Difficulty: Three Peak
This expedition is regarded as challenging and physically taxing. Getting physically healthy is crucial before beginning a trek or climb. Mera Peak, in contrast to the other two summits, is a comparatively simple climb. If you’re in excellent physical shape, we can help and make the climb to the top quite easy. Also, if you’ve experienced higher altitudes before, this is the ideal challenge for you.
The ascent is difficult since it is steep and the air is at its thinnest because you will be ascending the snow-covered peaks at around 6000 meters. Some sections might pose a risk as there will be crevasses covered in snow, however, they will be equipped with ladders to assist you in getting across. Although it could be alarming, you will always be on safety lines. Fixed lines make the ascending path secure, but it will take a lot of persistence to reach the top ridge. It’s also necessary to use equipment like fixed ropes and crampons. Beginners will receive some crucial instruction.
Is This Trip Right For You?
The ultimate climbing trip, Three Peaks Climbing, consists of scaling three peaks above 6000 meters in height and traversing the 5,850-meter Amphu Laptcha Pass. Due to the lengthier duration of the trek/climb involved in the Three Peaks climbs, great physical fitness is needed to participate. A major benefit while climbing a 6000m summit is prior expertise with high altitude excursions and climbing lower peaks. Although prior trekking or climbing expertise is required, our carefully prepared program also welcomes participants without such background. We start the journey with an acclimatization hike to Mera Peak, cross the Amphu Laptha, and then go to Island Peak and Lobuche Peak. For this journey, you need also to be mentally and physically prepared.
It takes teamwork, strong determination, and an intense desire. Our schedule includes plenty of time for acclimatization and a contingency day, and there will also be climbing training at the base camp so you get the necessary skills before the trip.
Travel Insurance & Safety Measures
All trekkers need travel insurance with helicopter evacuation. Mountain trekking and peak-climbing insurance are now available from several travel insurance companies worldwide. All of our guests are advised to get travel insurance that includes emergency helicopter evacuation in the event of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) or for any other reason in high elevations when there are no other transportation options. Before making a decision, it is recommended to thoroughly research the insurance and its coverages. Bring your insurance documentation with you on the trip, and leave a copy next to your family. You must make sure that your insurance covers you for the relevant actions and offers an acceptable degree of protection.
