The trip Mera & Island Peak Via Amphu Labsta starts from and ends in Kathmandu. It is a climbing tour that takes 30 days taking you through Chunbu Kharka, Mera Peak Base Camp, Kathmandu and 10 other destinations in Nepal. Mera & Island Peak Via Amphu Labsta is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

An exhilarating mountaineering expedition to Mera Peak (6476m/21,246ft) and Island Peak (6189m/20,305ft), two of the most popular trekking peaks in Nepal, combined with a crossing of the Amphu Labsta.. Mera (6476m/21,246ft) & Island Peak (6189m/20,305ft) are two of the most popular trekking peaks in the Nepal Himalaya and this expedition combines climbs on both mountains with a trek through the remote Honku Valley and a crossing of the spectacular and technical Amphu Laptsa Pass. The generous itinerary ensures proper acclimatisation and we have plenty of contingency days in the event of inclement weather. Being slightly to the south of the main range, Mera offers spectacular views from Kanchenjunga in the east to the Langtang region in the west. Island Peak is situated right in the heart of the Khumbu area and although it is dwarfed by the enormous Lhotse Face to the north, the views from the summit are truly exceptional.

“Balram was an excellent leader and I commend him and his team of climbing sherpas and porters for their efforts. Balram's decision-making ended up being 'spot on' in trying conditions (snow and blizzards) for our successful climbs and crossing.”

“A trip of a life time and love it! The trek had challenged me physically and mentally. The views were absolutely breathtaking. The support crew and climbing Sherpas were experience and I always felt safe even though I was the only female in the group. The right mindset is required for this trek and do train for it. A big thanks to Balram, Lakpa, Nawang, Sauna, Hom, Chilhing, Ram, cooks and the porters and the boys in the group!”

TRAVELING WITH WORLD EXPEDITIONS AND BOOKMUNDI

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this tour.

I need personal climbing equipment. Can I rent it from the tour operator?

Usually, yes. And in case the tour operator cannot provide you with climbing equipment, then they can easily recommend a reliable local shop where you can rent climbing equipment.
When is the best time to summit Island Peak?

The ideal time for climbing Island Peak is around April to May and October through November. The winter and the monsoon months will likely have fewer crowds but wet weather and snow and cold may make the climb more challenging. Some tours do not ever offer climbing in these months. Your guide will have enough knowledge about the weather and geography to advise the exact right time while you are on tour as well.
