The Mera Peak, Amphu Labtsa Pass, and Island Peak Expedition is one of Nepal’s most thrilling and scenic multi-peak adventures, designed for experienced trekkers and climbers seeking a true Himalayan challenge. This expedition takes you deep into the remote valleys of the Mahalangur Himalaya, combining two iconic trekking peaks — Mera Peak (6,476 m) and Island Peak (6,189 m) — connected by the dramatic and technical Amphu Labtsa Pass (≈5,845 m).
Starting with a breathtaking mountain flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the journey winds through traditional Sherpa villages, dense rhododendron forests, and high-altitude glaciers. Climbers first attempt Mera Peak, known for its wide, panoramic views of five world’s highest mountains — Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga. After conquering Mera, the route continues across the wild Honku and Barun valleys, leading to the icy ascent over Amphu Labtsa Pass, a thrilling section that requires fixed ropes, crampons, and technical climbing gear.
Descending into the Imja Valley, you’ll approach Island Peak (Imja Tse), another renowned summit offering a rewarding final climb with steep snow slopes, rope sections, and breathtaking summit ridges. This combined expedition is both physically demanding and spiritually rewarding — a rare opportunity to experience Nepal’s untouched alpine beauty, Sherpa culture, and two Himalayan summits in one continuous journey.
Whether you’re looking to push your limits or prepare for higher Himalayan expeditions, this trip delivers the perfect blend of adventure, skill, and stunning mountain scenery — truly one of the best multi-peak climbs in Nepal.
