Mera Peak – 6461mAn attractive peak Mera rises inside the Everest region of Nepal as Nepal’s highest trekking peak with an altitude of 6461 meters above sea level.

Mera Peak has three different faces they are; Mera North Face at 6476 meters, Mera Central Face at 6461 meters, and Mera Southern Face at 6065 meters. Generally, Mera Peak Central face is one and only popular peak for climbing, and other faces are not so famous likely to climb.
Island Peak – 6189mIsland Peak is also known as Imja Tse Peak which is a very popular trekking peak in Everest and Khumbu region of Nepal being the high choice of many adventure seekers every year. As the name Island itself reflects the land of Ices, firstly the name was created by Eric Shipton in 1951 when he saw an ocean of ice from Dingboche over there.
Then in 1982, the island peak was started to call also by Imja Tse Peak. However, this peak was first climbed by Charles Evan, Alf Gregory, Charles Wylie, and Tenzing Norgay in 1953 as a part of a warm-up climb prior to Mt. Everest Expedition. From the summit, we can have great views of world’s popular mountain ranges including Mt Everest, Mt Nuptse, Mt Lhotse, Mt Baruntse, Amadablam, and many other snow-capped peaks.

Mera, Island, and Lobuche Peak Climbing Difficulty
The climb to Mera, Island and Lobuche peak is physically demanding and technically challenging. These three peaks are the distinct and most popular climbing peaks of the Everest Region. The combination of the three makes this peak climbing a perfect adventure full of thrill and excitements.
Mera, Island and Lobuche best suit for the trekkers who want complete thrill and adventure in trekking or climbing. Among the three peaks, Island peak is relatively difficult with several technical sections. It has several glaciers, crevasses, rock-walls and ridge walking.
The summit view of these all mountains is mind hovering. It is just the perfect place to have close insight of the mountain panorama, pristine natural and cultural world. Your previous trekking experience is must for these three peak climbing. The preparation plays a vital role. We recommend you to have adequate preparation with due considerations.
Mera, Island, and Lobuche Peak Climbing Season
Peak Climbing in Nepal is a seasonal activity. Autumn and Spring are the best seasons for climbing most of the mountains in Nepal. Autumn Season (September, October & November) and Spring Season (March, April & May) are the perfect seasons for Mera, Island, and Lobuche Climbing. During these months, the days will be sunny and warm in the Himalayas. The skies will be clear and the atmosphere of the Himalayas will be alluring. Thus, we can have great views of the mountains. Nevertheless, some adventure-seeking clients who don’t like hustle and bustle during the journey also can choose Winter Season (December, January, and February) months for this trip. Monsoon season (June, July, and August) will be pretty difficult time for climbing in the Himalayas because of monsoon. During monsoon the trails will be slippery, muddy and there will be landslides too.
Mera, Island, and Lobuche Peak Climbing Preparations
The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today. Preparation is a key to success of any activity. Good preparations are must for the successful peak climbing. You need to consider several things before going for peak climbing. For the successful Mera Island and Lobuche Climbing, your physique plays a vital role. So, you must prepare yourself before the climb. You would better join a mountaineering course for 4-6 months. Otherwise, you can join gym and have aerobic training, cardio, stress endurance training, hiking trainings etc. You can also practice jogging, cycling, swimming, hiking etc. on a regular basis. Your previous experiences on mountaineering are also important. So, you must practice hiking to some smaller peaks. Similarly, you should be careful about your diet. You must include plenty of protein, carbohydrates, and minerals in your diet. A balanced diet is very important for physical fitness. Moreover, you must be mentally ready to cope up with the adverse situations in the mountain. The weather is unstable at high altitude and you should also spend couple of days in a camp.

Altitude Sickness
Altitude sickness is the effect of oxygen deficiency in the blood and tissues at the high altitude. It is the negative health effect of high altitude due to the rapid exposure to low amount of oxygen at high elevation. The common symptoms of Altitude sickness include headaches, vomiting, tiredness, trouble sleeping and dizziness.
Altitude Sickness generally referred as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) occurs only above 2500m. The main reason of altitude sickness is rapid ascent and decreasing amount of oxygen at the high altitude. There are mainly three types of altitude sickness: Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) and High Altitude Cerebral Edema.
Altitude Sickness can become a medical emergency if ignored. The best way to prevent altitude sickness is to travel to high altitude slowly. It normally doesn’t take long for your body to adjust into a changed altitude. At the higher altitudes, the air pressure and oxygen level is comparatively lower. Our body takes time to adjust to such change. We suggest you to keep you hydrated, not to smoke or drink alcoholic substance, eat hygienic food, sleep low, take it easy, use Diamox tablets etc. to prevent yourself from Altitude Sickness.
Is Nepal Safe?
No doubt, Nepal is safe for trekking, hiking and mountaineering. The trekking trails are improvised and maintained as well. In many technical sections, ropes have been fixed.
The stains of the devastating earthquake have also been healing up and the decade long armed insurgency has also come to an end along with the implementation of the new constitution.
Tourist Help Desk and Tourism Information Centre have been established at the prominent tourist destinations. Moreover, you will receive a respectable welcome everywhere you go. The Nepali people are simple and kind to you and pay a wonderful hostage to you.
Don’t worry; Nepal is a safe country to visit.
