Mera Island Peak Climbing is one of the rare high altitude Himalaya adventure follows the route of our classic Mera Island Peak Climbing until the mountain summit. After downward to the Mera-la, we move Eastward into the mountain wasteland of the Upper Hongu Valley. Trekking underneath the elevated embankment of Chamlang, with Lhotse and Everest can be clearly, we arrive at holy lakes at Panch pokhari. Then we lead rugged crossing of the technical Amphu Labsta 5,700 m then drop down into the Imja Valley, where set up our base camp beneath Island peak (6,189m).we will have two days to accent outstanding peak that located beyond the impressive south face of Lhotse. While passing along Everest trail by the way of the Capital of Sherpa’s Namche Bazaar then our trail will be complete at Lukla.
Mera Island Peak trail offers us prominent diversity of trekking it is one of the Nepal’s excellent and most challenging mountain journeys with its spectacular scenery. Our first journeys will be walking between Lukla and Thagnag along the pleasant forest of rhododendron and pine, valleys of Upper Hinku and Hongu River. During on trail we should need an experienced and professional team of Sherpa porter and guide as well as well-equipped for the high altitude trekking. This trail consists of most of the best route including a precise trail in the snow preeminent over the Mera-La.Upper Hunku route is less used, underneath conditions are still relatively easy. This is the one of the strenuous trek that include up to seven continuous night over at (5000 m /16,400ft) lying at remote area because of two ascent of 6000 m.
Mera Island Peak will be difficult when we ascent it through the usual route on the north face part, whereas Mera is not technically strenuous peak that rarely steeper than 30 degrees excluding for the final ascent to the summit where we fixed lines are used to preserve this last 30 to 40 meters. A ski stick gives the best possible assistance in soft snow condition and a single walking axe is all that is necessary if condition become hard. It is taken as the one of the strenuous climbing trails because of its altitude and exhausting route. Our proven acclimatization program and our use of a high camp at 5,800m(19,028ft) will provides us best chance to arrive toward the summit. During our summit we will use ropes, splitting the group among the guides and the Sherpa’s.
Mera Amphu Labtsa Pass is the most technical trail than the Mera Peak, it will requires to conquer chain of ice steps (protect by a fixed line) to reach at rocky crest, and from the top you will make an deep or a lower of around 35 meters 120 feet to reach fixed lines which are used to preserve the final descent of approximately 300 meters 1000 feet over 30-40 degree snow and rock to easier slopes. Island Peak Climbing lies at lower altitude than Mera Peak, whereas Mera Peak is more technically demanding and involves climbing up to 45 degree snow slopes and an exposed summit ridge.

Autumn (September - November) and Spring (March - May) is the best trekking season for the trekking and mountaineering in Nepal. Weather is mostly clear and temperature is moderate which offers beautiful views without any obstruction. Spring collects beautiful flowers, plants and rare animals Walking is also very much suitable during this season.
Summer (June - August) and Winter (December - February). Though Summer collects heavy monsoon rainfall it is very much clear to trek around Mustang, Dolpo and Nar- Phu valley since they are rain shadow areas. Tibet is much more favorable for Tibet trek. Everest, Langtang and Annapurna are always comfortable to trek even in winter season.
Trekking in Nepal for Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek does not require past experience, though we have challenging route in Everest compared to Annapurna our itinerary suggests to walk comfortable distances. Trekking in Himalayas always takes us to challenging altitudes and rocky routes, demands proper rest time and acclimatization to sustain their strength. We always have both listed properly in our itinerary. However certain training like Running, Skipping and other workout will definitely help you in roots.
