About this experience
The Everest 3 Peak Challenge is a thrilling 30-day expedition designed for those keen to elevate their mountaineering skills in Nepal's breathtaking Himalayas. This adventure includes climbing three iconic peaks: Mera Peak (6,476 m), Island Peak (6,189 m), and Lobuche East Peak (6,119 m).
Unlike extreme expeditions like climbing Annapurna, Mount Everest, Manaslu, etc., the Everest 3 Peak challenge is beginner-friendly. But you need to have previous experience with multiple high pass trekking, like the Everest 3 Pass Trek, Throng La, Larke La, etc., or should've at least climbed a 6,000 m mountain.
Highlights of the Everest 3 Peak challenge
