About Mera and Island Peak Climbing

Mera and Island Peak Climbing with Amphu Labtsa Pass is the ultimate trekking and climbing challenge yet rewarding mountaineering experience that offers the chance to summit two of the most popular trekking peaks in Nepal, crossing a high mountain pass at an elevation of 5700 meters. This exceptional high-altitude adventure is packed with an amazing variety of mountains and wilderness valleys, forests and grasslands, lodges and camping: a complete Khumbu trekking and climbing experience for adventure enthusiasts.

Mera and Island Peak climbing via Amphu Labtsa Pass is a strenuous mountaineering expedition that requires good physical fitness and previous experience of high altitude trekking. The trip is graded Alpine PD, which means that it is a challenging climb that requires the use of ropes and crampons. This 25 days Himalayan expedition includes two incredible peaks over 6000 meters, one technically challenging pass, and seven consecutive nights at elevations over 5100 meters. However, the rewards of summiting these two 6000m peaks make this expedition an exceptional mountaineering experience.

Climbing Mera Peak (6476m / 21,247 ft.)

Mera Peak, at an elevation of 6476 meters above sea level, is an exceptional pick for first-time climbers in the Nepal Himalayas. Climbing Mera Peak allows you to explore the untouched beauty of the Everest region while challenging yourself physically and mentally. The climb is stimulating yet achievable, and the summit views are spectacular, taking in five of the highest mountains (above 8000m) in the world, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Kanchenjunga and other neighboring peaks. The climbing route, in general, is non-technical, but it does involve some altitude gain. Climbers must be physically fit and acclimatized to the high altitude.

Climbing Island Peak (6119m / 20,075 ft.)

At an elevation of 6189 meters above sea level, Island Peak or Imja Tse is a moderately challenging trekking peak in the Khumbu region of Nepal. It is popular for climbers who want to experience the thrill of high-altitude mountaineering without the technical difficulty of more challenging peaks. The summit of Island Peak offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, including Mount Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and many others. The climb to Island Peak is graded as 2B in difficulty, which requires skills and experience. However, it is still within the reach of the average fit person who is properly prepared. Climbing Island Peak is an unforgettable experience to stand on top of a mountain and see the world spread out before you.

Mera and Island Peak Climbing Route Overview

Our Mera and Island Peak Expedition starts with climbing the least technical but highest, Mera Peak first, followed by the rather tricky Amphu Labsta Pass and then a moderately difficult Island Peak, with its exposed summit. Our Mera and Island Peak Climbing expedition begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. The flight is short but spectacular as we fly over the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. After landing in Lukla, we descend to Paiya, where we spend our first night. This route avoids the steep climb to Zatrwa La Pass by making a loop to the south through a beautiful untraveled part of the country and joins the Kothe, allowing time for gradual acclimatization. We follow the Inkhu River up to the Mera Peak Base Camp, nestled at the foot of Mara’s north face. The route to the High Camp goes via Mera La. Only the last 30 or 40 meters to the summit require fixed ropes. From the summit, you get magnificent views of the world's highest mountains, including Mount Everest (8,848 meters), Mount Lhotse (8,516 meters), Mount Cho Oyu (8,201 meters), Mount Makalu (8,463 meters), and Mount Kanchenjunga (8,586 meters).

After descending from the summit of Mera Peak, the trail turns east at the Mera La and continues descending into the Upper Hongu Valley. The valley is dominated by the rock face of Chamlang to the east and the snow-capped peaks of Lhotse and Everest to the north. After following the valley for several hours, we reach the sacred Panch Pokhari Lakes (Five Divine Lakes). This is where we begin our ascent of the Amphu Labsta pass, one of the most challenging objectives of the expedition. The pass is located at an altitude of 5780 meters and is a succession of ice steps leading up to a rocky crest. A fixed line is required for the ascent. From the top of the pass, we abseil down 35 meters to reach fixed ropes for the next 300 meters of steep switchback descent on snow and rock.

After crossing the pass, we re-enter the Khumbu Valley, which feels more crowded after many days in the wilderness. We will set up base camp in the Imja Valley and prepare to summit Island Peak (6189 meters), which lies close to the imposing south face of Lhotse. We will hike towards Island Peak via the standard route, directly underneath the southwest face of Lhotse (the fourth-highest mountain in the world). Although lower in altitude than Mera Peak, Island Peak is slightly more challenging. The ascent begins with an easy scramble up to a rock ridge, followed by a glacier climb using fixed lines. The final section involves ascending a 45-degree snow slope to the exposed summit ridge. The view from Island Peak summit offers surreal panoramic views of Mount Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Ama Dablam, and other neighboring snow giants. After following the Chhukung Valley, we join the Everest Base Camp trail at Dingboche, a Sherpa village that we pass through on our way back to Lukla.

Returning to Lukla

After summiting Mera Peak and Island Peak, we descend back to Tengboche, Namche, and Lukla. The descent helps our bodies adjust gradually to the thicker air at lower altitudes, reducing the risk of altitude-related problems. Once we reach Lukla, our trip officially ends. We can celebrate our successful summit that evening in Lukla. The Mera and Island Peak Climbing via Amphu Labtsa Pass is an epic journey that will test your physical and mental limits. You will explore the pristine beauty of the Everest region and summit two of Nepal's most popular trekking peaks.

Is Mera and Island Peak Climbing the right choice for you?

As the name implies, Mera and Island Peak climbing includes an ascent of two peaks over 6,000 meters and a traverse of Amphu Labtsa Pass at 5,700 meters. Having previous experience of high altitude treks is beneficial but not mandatory. You will need strong physical stamina as the trip is long and takes place in remote areas. The climb involves using peak climbing equipment, such as a flexible harness, crampons, mountaineering boots, and an ascender. Basic mountaineering skills are essential, but we will provide a climbing course at base camp before the summit attempt.

We also offer Three Peaks Climbing in Everest Region, which includes Mera Peak (6476m), Island Peak (6189m), and Lobuche Peak (6119m), respectively. This is a more challenging climb, but it is also a more rewarding experience. Trip Cost (all inclusive): US$ 4500 per person

Preparation / Training for Mera and Island Peak Climbing

Climbing Mera Peak and Island Peak in a single trip in the Everest region is a thrilling and inspiring challenge. The peaks, Mera Peak and Island Peak, are all over 6,000 meters high and require a high level of physical and mental preparation to maximize the chances of successful summit.

Physical Preparation

The most crucial physical preparation for climbing the Mera and Island Peak Climbing is building cardiovascular fitness and strength. It would be best to focus on exercises that will help you develop balance, coordination, and agility. It is also important to acclimatize to high altitudes before you attempt to climb the peaks. This can be done by hiking in the mountains at lower altitudes.

Mental Preparation

Mental preparation is as necessary as physical preparation for climbing the Three Peaks. You need to be mentally strong and determined to succeed. You should also be prepared for the challenges of high-altitude climbing, such as altitude sickness and fatigue.

Achieving a Successful Ascent

You can achieve a successful ascent of these two challenging peaks with appropriate physical and mental preparation. However, it is important to remember that climbing these peaks is dangerous. It is essential to climb with a qualified guide and to follow all safety procedures.

    Useful Info

    Mera and Island Peak Difficulty Level

    Mera Peak (6476m)

    Climbing Mera Peak is relatively easy, but it does require good physical fitness and endurance due to the high altitude and the demanding nature of high-altitude trekking. Mera Peak is a straightforward climb involving glacier trekking; only basic mountaineering skills are required. We recommend that our guests have previous trekking experience at high altitudes and be comfortable with multi-day trekking and camping.

    Island Peak (6189m)

    Island Peak is a technically challenging climb despite its lower altitude than Mera Peak. The route to the summit requires climbers to cross crevasses on ladders, use fixed ropes, and climb a steep and exposed section known as the Ice Head Wall. This makes the climb more physically and technically demanding than Mera Peak. Climbers must be in excellent physical condition, well-acclimatized, and adequately equipped to summit Island Peak. It is important to have the proper training and experience to safely climb Island Peak.

    Tipping your Guides and Porters

    Tipping is a common way to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of guides and porters in Nepal's trekking and climbing industry. It is not mandatory, but it is customary and greatly appreciated. Tips are typically given at the end of the trek when you say goodbye to your guides and porters. For more information about Tipping, please review our Tips for Tipping Page.

    Travel Insurance for Mera and Island Peak Climbing

    Travel insurance is a must for adventure activities like climbing Mera and Island Peak in Everest Region. Your travel insurance should cover emergency evacuation, injury, lost baggage, liability, and medical treatment. Helicopter rescue is often the only way to evacuate people from the mountains in case of accidents or high-altitude sickness. It is crucial to have travel insurance that covers the cost of helicopter rescue, as well as ground evacuation and rescue. Annapurna Foothills Treks and Expeditions Pvt. Ltd. can organize the appropriate medical response based on your policy.

    Here are some of the things that your travel insurance should cover for adventure activities:

    • Emergency medical evacuation
    • Medical treatment
    • Rescue Operation
    • Lost baggage
    • Liability
    • Accidental death and dismemberment
    • Cancellation or interruption of your trip

    When choosing a travel insurance policy, it is important to read the fine print carefully to ensure that it covers all the activities you plan to do. You should also check the policy's maximum payout limits and exclusions. To learn more about travel insurance for adventure activities, please click here.
