Trip Highlights

Summit three Himalayan peaks: Island Peak (6,189 m), Lobuche East (6,119 m), and Mera Peak (6,476 m)
Stand on three summits above 6,000 m — fewer than 200 trekkers complete this triple summit per year
Island Peak's exposed summit ridge: fixed ropes and front-pointing on alpine ice
Lobuche East: technical mixed terrain with a knife-edge summit ridge and sweeping Khumbu views
Mera Peak: the highest non-technical trekking peak in Nepal — a snow dome walk-up at altitude
Classic Khumbu EBC approach trek included — Tengboche, Namche, Gorak Shep
All climbing permits, Sherpas, and high-camp equipment organised
Summit Mera Peak, Island Peak, and Lobuche East in a single 19-day expedition — a rare triple-peak achievement in three of the Himalaya's most dramatic high-altitude zones.

The Nepal Three Peaks Expedition is the Himalayan climber's ultimate short-trip challenge: summiting three separate peaks above 6,000 m — Mera Peak (6,476 m), Island Peak (6,189 m), and Lobuche East (6,119 m) — in a single 19-day expedition. Fewer than 200 climbers complete all three in one trip each year. For those with the fitness and ambition, it is one of the most remarkable achievements available to non-professional mountaineers anywhere in the world.

The expedition begins with Mera Peak — Nepal's highest non-technical trekking peak — approached via the Hinku Valley south of the Khumbu. Mera's summit is a broad snow dome, reached by a 45-degree snow slope and fixed rope section; the summit view encompasses five 8,000 m peaks simultaneously. After Mera, the route crosses the Mera La (5,415 m) into the Khumbu to approach Island Peak via Dingboche and Chhukung. Island Peak is a genuine technical climb — crampon work, jumar ascent on fixed lines, and an exposed summit ridge — that rewards with a ground-level view of Lhotse's 3,000 m south face. Lobuche East follows as the third and final summit, accessed from the classic EBC route above Lobuche village.

All climbing permits, high-altitude Sherpa support (one Sherpa per two climbers on summit days), base camp and high camp tents, and full technical gear rental are included.

Who Is This Expedition For?

You do not need prior 6,000 m experience to attempt the three peaks — but you must be honest about fitness. Each peak requires 6–8 hours of steep, high-altitude climbing on summit day. We recommend at least one prior multi-week Himalayan trek and ideally one prior technical climbing course (crampons, ice axe, rope management). Our pre-expedition fitness screening call is not optional — we turn away under-prepared applicants because failed summits are bad for everyone. Our three-peak success rate is 78%; the Himalayan average for comparable expeditions is 55%.

Best seasons: October–November and April–May (spring only for Mera). Permits: Three peak climbing permits (all included). Max altitude: Mera Peak 6,476 m.
