Overview

The Three Peaks Climbing is an Himalayan adventure that brings trekking and mountaineering together in one journey. Three famous peaks, Mera Peak (6,461m), Island Peak (6,189m), and Lobuche East Peak (6,119m), can be experienced very closely. You can also get the complete Everest region experience. With the highest trekking peak in Nepal, known for its wide trails and incredible views of Everest, Makalu, and Lhotse, this trek begins with Mera Pea. After Mera, the trail continues to Island Peak, where steeper climbs and you have to follow the  basic technical skills. Finally, Lobuche East with stunning close-up views of the world’s tallest mountains.

Details

The Three Peaks Climbing Expedition is perfect for travelers who want more than just a trek in the Everest region.
