Mera Peak (6,476 m) and Island Peak (6,189 m) climbing is a joint venture of climbing two high peaks of Nepal Himalayas.
Though Mera and Island Peak seem close to each other on a map, it is divided by a chain of mountains separating the Khumbu Valley and Hinku. The journey also takes you through the most remote and beautiful region of Nepal.
The fascinating Mera Peak is known as the “highest trekking peak in Nepal”. Climbing Mera Peak does not require any prior climbing experience is a less technically challenging peak climb but requires crossing the challenging Amphu Lapcha Pass (5,780 m).
You will surely feel like being in paradise as the trail from here takes you through the enchanting Hinku Valley and from there cross the Amphu Lapcha Pass into the Imja Valley.
In the case of Island peak climb, you need proper gears such as ladders, rope to climb, and is considered a more challenging climb than Mera.
The only requirement for this trip is you should be physically fit and know how to use gears such as ice ax and crampons. Himalayan Trekkers has beautifully designed this crucial itinerary with proper rest days for unlocking the unrefined beauty of these mountainous regions and also provides you with practice sessions for your successful venture.
