Mera and Island Peak, Nepal’s highest ‘trekking peaks’ and an
excellent Introduction to Himalayan
expeditions.
Background
 This
expedition is for those who want to climb Mera Peak or, as a challenging
extension, ascend the more technical Island Peak.
Mera Peak At 6476m, is the highest ‘trekking
peak’ suitable for anyone with little or no previous experience
of using an ice axe and crampons. The spectacular route is well
within the reach of regular mountain walkers with a good level
of fitness. Our careful programme of acclimatisation is designed
to maximise your chance of comfortably reaching this special summit.
During the course of this expedition we are constantly rewarded
with fine views of world famous peaks, including the towering
Everest and Lhotse. Mera Peak’s notable summit provides
one of the most spectacular viewpoints in Nepal. This magical
vantage point offers stunning views of five 8000m peaks, Everest
and Lhotse to the north, Kanchenjunga and Makalu to the east and
the majestic Cho Oyu to the west.
Island Peak This memorable 6189m peak offers
a slightly more technical climb. The ascent involves a comfortable
scramble, an intriguing rock ridge and then onto a wonderful glacier.
Onwards, a steep snow headwall leads to a classic summit ridge.
From here you are afforded fabulous views of many Himalayan giants,
including the immense face of Lhotse and the elegant pyramid of
Ama Dablam. The rewarding return journey is via the main Everest
trail, with its welcoming and comfortable teahouses and lodges.
Level
of support
This is a fully supported expedition led by one of our experienced

Sherpas will also be on hand for assistance and catering. Equipment
is carried by Porters.
