Why Choose the Everest Three Peaks Expedition?

The Everest Three Peaks Climbing is not just another trekking trip — it is a 30-day Himalayan odyssey designed for mountaineers who want more than a single summit. By combining Mera Peak (6,476m), Island Peak (6,189m), and Lobuche East Peak (6,119m) in one itinerary, you gain extensive experience in Nepal’s most challenging alpine environments.

Climbers often attempt one or two trekking peaks, but very few expeditions combine three major summits with a crossing of the Amphu Laptsa Pass (5,845m). This makes it the ultimate package for those aiming to prepare for 7,000m and 8,000m peaks in the future.

Difficulty Level – Who Is This For?

• Grade: Strenuous / Alpine PD+

• Experience Needed: Prior high-altitude trekking experience (e.g., Everest Base Camp, Manaslu Circuit, or Kilimanjaro) is recommended. Basic climbing knowledge is a plus, though our guides provide skill training.

• Technical Sections:

  • Mera Peak: Mostly glacier walk, less technical but high altitude.

  • Island Peak: Steeper headwall (ice/snow 45–50°), requires fixed rope use.

  • Lobuche East: Mixed rock and ice, more technical with exposed ridges.

  • Amphu Laptsa Pass: Technical crossing with ropes and glacier descent.

👉 If you are physically fit, determined, and want real alpine climbing exposure, this expedition is suitable for you.
