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 elevates 6,476 m above sea level in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas, south of Mount Everest. Categorized as the trekking peaks, it is one of the most popular in its category. Mera Peak is the highest trekking peak in Nepal. The summit offers some exquisite views of 8000 M peaks, namely, Mt. Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, Cho Oyo, Kanchenjunga and several other peaks. Spring and autumn seasons are the best times to trek this mountain.
Imja Tse Peak, also popularly known as Island Peak, stands tall with a modest height of 6,189 M. English mountaineer Eric Shipton named it Island Peak in 1953. He thought it resembled an island in a sea of ice seeing it from Dingboche. In 1983, Island Peak again got its new name, Imja Tse. With very few technical aspects, it offers itself even to beginner climbers with competitive endurance. Hence, it is one of the most popular choices among the 6000m. Island Peak welcomes hundreds of climbers' groups each year luring them to their peak.
The Lobuche peak consists of two different summits, via. East and West, with heights of 6,119 M and 6,145 M respectively. A continuous ridge connects them, but there is still a sharp gap and a considerable distance between them. The East Peak is recognized as a trekking peak, whereas the West is known as an Expedition Peak. Lobuche, being an attractive mountain, offers various existing routes and also potential new ones. The dark triangle of its east face rises over the moraines of the Khumbu Glacier to a spectacular skyline, forming the south ridge.
