Trip Overview
- Climb Mera, Island and Lobuche Peak
- Everest circuit trek & climb with Amphu Lapcha Pass
- Fully guided climb with 1: 3 sherpa guide to client ratio
- Ultimate climbing holiday to learn mountaineering skills
Three peaks climb in Nepal offers an excellent introduction to real Himalayan mountaineering by climbing three iconic six thousand-meter peaks in a single trip.
Mera Peak, Island Peak and Lobuche Peak are the most popular three peaks climbing in the Everest region. Highland Expeditions offer special Three Peaks Climbing trip that allows you to ascend Mera Peak, Island Peak and Lobuche Peak in a single itinerary.
An ultimate climbing holiday which includes an ascent of three 6000m peaks and traverse of Amphu Laptcha Pass at 5,700m. The trip provides a real Himalayan climbing experience with an opportunity to brush your mountaineering skills. We will begin our climb with Mera Peak and conclude with the Lobuche Peak traversing Amphu Lapcha Pass. The Pass links Mera with Chukung valley which is home to scenic Island Peak.
Three Peaks climbing journey begins and concludes at Lukla as we cover the full circuit of Mera and Khumbu Valley in 30 days. Initially, we progress towards Mera peak via Poiyan, Pangoma, Chetra Khola and slowly arrive at Khare taking more time. Our itinerary has been devised keeping plenty of acclimatization before arriving at Mera base camp. Our trek to Mera peak base camp involves a culturally stimulating journey through remote picturesque villages and forests, followed by a gentle climb to the summit.
From Mera, we head towards Island peak crossing the Amphu Laptcha pass, after the pass we enter the Everest region. Island Peak is more technical as compared to the Mera peak, with more glaciated terrain to negotiate, ladder crossing over the crevasse and steeper climbing over the ridge as we progress towards the summit.
From Island peak, we connect on the main busy trail of Everest base camp for 2 days as we make our way to our final climb, Lobuche East. Lobuche East is considered the toughest among these 3 peaks. The climb to the summit includes a 45-degree steep climb through snowy slopes and the terrain is steep, slippery and has icy rock slabs.
Mera Peak Climb [6,461m/21,193ft]
The highest trekking peak in Nepal, Mera Peak Climbing progresses through a non-technical route and thus Mera Peak Climb is for all the adventure enthusiasts who have the will and determination to make the most out of their adventure in the Himalayas. All you will need is a good level of fitness and you are good to go. The climb rewards us with views of Makalu, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga and other peaks and mountains. Come and have 360-degree views of glistening mountains from one of the most stunning viewpoints in Nepal.

Island Peak Climb [6,189m/20,305ft]
Climbing Island Peak requires technical skills as the route takes us through a scramble of rocks, ridges and glaciers. We need to climb through the steep section to reach the summit that allows views of Lhotse, Amadblam and other surrounding peaks and mountains.
Check out our top 10 tips for Island Peak Climb
Lobuche East Climb [6,119m/20,075ft]
We will accept the epic challenge of Lobuche at the end of the Three peaks climb as Lobuche Climb is going to be the toughest one. We will follow the trail stretching from the south ridge that will take us to the summit. Although challenging, the inexplicably beautiful views of the Magical Mountains in Khumbu include the world’s highest Everest.

Is this trip for you?
Three Peaks Climbing is an ultimate climbing holiday that includes an ascent of three 6000m peaks and a traverse of Amphu Laptcha Pass at 5,850m. Previous experience of trekking at high altitudes and basic mountaineering skills will be beneficial. You also must have a very strong physical stamina level.
This grade trip involves the usage of peak climbing equipment (Harness, Crampons, Mountaineering Boots, Ascender). Previous experience of climbing smaller peaks is essential but we also provide a climbing course at base camp so you can acquire the skills required for the climb on the trip itself.
If you have climbed Mera Peak before then we recommend another ultimate climbing holiday Khumbu Three Peaks which also includes an ascent of three peaks (Island Peak, Pokhalde Peak and Lobuche East)
Or, if you want to climb Mera and Island peak only then check our Mera and Island Peak Climb.
Our Spring and Autumn Fixed Departure Dates for Three Peaks Climbing are guaranteed to run.

Please take care to note that your leader/guide has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to your safety concerns. Every effort will be made to keep to the above itinerary; however, since this adventure entails travelling in remote mountainous regions, we cannot guarantee that we will not deviate from it. Weather, health condition of a group member, unexpected natural disasters, etc., can all contribute to changes in the itinerary. Your leader/guide will try to ensure that the trip runs according to plan, but please be prepared to be flexible if required.

Just 1 word: FANTASTIC !!!
Just 1 word: FANTASTIC !!!
I was looking for a reliable organization to trek to Nepal. Since I have several medical problems, it was very important for me to have a reliable guide to travel with me. Through email I had a good contact with Pasang. He listened to all my concerns and needs. A solution was found for everything. Once on the spot, we had a meeting so that he could brief my Sherpa Ang properly. I had a fantastic adventure which exceeded my expectations. Nothing was too much for my super Sherpa Ang and the porter (also a Pasang). If necessary, they adjusted the plan so that my chances of success were optimal. I started at Mera Peak, then via Amphu Lapcha Pass and Island Peak to Lobuche Peak. Everything was perfectly arranged. A trip never to forget. I am already looking forward to our next ascent. Of course with Highland Expeditions and Ang! What else!!??

The most spectacular 3 weeks. The entire trip was professionally ran, the guides and porters were key to this. Highland expeditions also maintained excellent communications before during and after the trip. My first time in the Himalayas and it blew away all my expectations
