OVERVIEW:

If you are searching for a true mountain adventure Island Peak, Lobuche, and Nirekha Peak Climbing is the best package. This 3-peak climbing adventure is a trek of two of the very famous peaks: Island Peak (6,186m) and Lobuche Peak (6,119m) along with a newly discovered peak: Nirekha Peak (6,159m). This trekking route is the most popular trekking adventure in the Everest Region. 

In comparison to Island Peak and Lobuche Peak, Nirekha Peak is more technical. The most amazing aspect of this trek is, that it includes crossing three spectacular mountain passes which are Kongma La (5,536m), Cho La (5,368m), and Renjo La (5,435m). Island Peak, Lobuche, and Nirekha Peak climbing with 3 Passes Trek also include reaching the Everest Base Camp as well as the serene Gokyo Lakes. Besides that this trekking package offers the most appealing all-around mountain views, the most amazing flavor of the Himalayan culture, and the pristine natural World.

Among the three peaks, we will be summiting  Island Peak (6,189 m) at first. This peak is traditionally known as Imja Tse. This is one of the popular climbing expeditions located in the Khumbu district of the Everest region. Island peak was named by mountaineer Eric Shipton and also later named Imja Tse by the locals. You may have heard that this is the most spectacular mountain peak because it looks like an island in the sea of ice when viewed from Dingboche.  Moreover, the summit view of Island Peak is just mind-blowing. You will have a superb view of many mountain peaks including Makalu, Ama Dablam, and Lhotse.

After scaling the Island Peak we shall have the Lobuche Peak to thrill our adventure spirit. Lobuche Peak has two summit peaks – Lobuche East and Lobuche West. Here we will be summiting the Lobuche East (6,199 m) located at the Khumbu glacier of the Everest Region. Lobuche East is comparatively easier and more straightforward than the Lobuche West.  The first successful ascent of this peak was recorded in the name of Ang Gyaltsen Sherpa and Lawrence Nielson on 25th April 1984. This mountain peak also offers incomparable Mountain views of the popular mountains on the massif across it.

Finally, we will be attempting for the Nirekha Peak (6,159 m). This mountain peak is also located in the Khumbu region. Before reaching the summit of this peak, we will be crossing the Cho La Pass. The trek route towards the summit of this peak is relatively more difficult and technical than the earlier two peaks. This peak was first ascended by Matt Fioretti and Greg Valentine in April 2003. This peak was opened for foreigners in 2005. From the summit of this peak, we will have pristine views of the surrounding peaks like Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Lhotse Shar, Ama Dablam, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and a few other snow-capped peaks.

No trekking package can be as perfect as trekking to these three different peaks in the Everest region. This 30-day long trekking package includes all the best attributes that anyone expects over the Himalayan journey. The success of the trek itself is the most ideal experience. Similarly, the topography, people, culture, vegetation, and wildlife everything is incredible.

  • Day 08: Dingboche to Chhukung (4,730m/15,518ft): 3-4 hours

    Dingboche is a charming place in the Himalayas. It is the summer settlement area of the mountain people. We can have the best views of Ama Dablam, the ridge of Nuptse-Lhotse, Tawache and Chalots from here.  At first, we will walk through a stonewalled field, Imja Khola Valley, and Glacier Moraines. We will have a superb mountain panorama of Lhotse and Ama Dablam all around. After moving a little ahead from Bibre, we will have the most fascinating view of Island Peak above us. After that, we will reach Chhukung, a small settlement about half an hour from Bibre.  We shall spend the night at Chhukung.

    Accommodation: Eco Lodges
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 09: Acclimatization: Climb Chhukung Ri (5,546m) and Trek Back to Chhukung: 3 – 4 hours

    Today is another day set aside for acclimatization. Climbing Chhukung Ri might help our body adjust to the high altitude. Chhukung Ri is a peak located directly above the Chhukung village. The climb to the peak involves some easy scrambling near the summit. From the top, we can look directly across the valley for a fantastic view of Ama Dablam and Amphu Labsa peaks. We will descend back to Chhukung village to spend the night.

    Accommodation: Eco Lodges
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 10: Chhukung to Island Peak Base Camp (5,200m/17,060ft): 3-4 hours

    The trek to Island Peak Base Camp passes on a fairly steep trail. First of all, we will climb towards the south then towards the east if the valley. We will then walk on a winding path below the southern flank of the moraine from the Lhotse Glacier. And then, we will continue walking on a pleasant trail along a streamside. The route to the Amphu Lapcha lies to the southeast. A crisscross route through the Imja and Lhotse glacier moraines leads to a wide valley flanking to the southwest side of Island Peak. We shall have a pleasant stay at the island peak Base Camp tonight.

    Accommodation: Tented Camp
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 11: Pre-Climb training on Island Peak Base Camp

    This day is the most important day for us. We shall spend the day learning basic mountaineering skills. Basically, the training will be on peak climbing techniques and the use of climbing gears such as the ice ax, boots and crampons, harness, ascender, etc. The training will also include using ropes to go up and down. Although it is not mandatory to have prior training to climb Island Peak, we strongly believe that some training experience will boost your confidence and climbing skills to increase the success rates and make your trip enjoyable. We will be rehearsing our climb above 5,000m on rocky slopes and icy trails.  We can spend the rest of the day hiking to high camp and back or resting for the next day’s climb. We shall spend yet another night at the Island Peak Base Camp

    Accommodation: Tented Camp
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 12: Island Peak Base Camp to Summit (6,189m/20,305ft) and Back to Base Camp: 10-12 hours

    This one will be one of the most awaited days for us. We will get up very early at around 1 or 2 am and have breakfast.  It is important to reach the summit before noon because in the afternoon the strong winds will disturb a successful climb. The trail moves up beyond the Base Camp for several hundred meters before striking off the steep hillside. Initially sandy, the path soon turns to grass before becoming boulder-strewn. As we climb up the hill, we will see that the slope narrows, and the trail enter a steep rock channel. We will climb the rock gully through several short rock steps before emerging on the right side of the gully. We will follow a ridgeline, which leads us to an exhilarating and exposed snout of a glacier. The guides will fix a rope when required. A steep snow slope leads us onto the summit ridge. Both fixed rope and man rope will be used during the climb for safety. We use fix rope after successfully climbing on rock.  

    There are two newly formed crevasses which are approximately 3 and 4 meters long. We will be using ladders to cross them. After enjoying the summit views and taking pictures, we will descend all the way to Island Peak Base Camp where some of our crew are waiting for us. We will celebrate on our successful Island Peak climb.

    Accommodation: Tented Camp
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 13: Island Peak Base Camp to Chhukung: 3 – 4 hours

    Today’s walk will be much easier as we descend to the lower altitudes on the same trail we used to go up. We will be crossing our first pass the next day, therefore, today’s trek is a short one. At Chhukung we will take a rest and prepare ourselves for the next day’s trek. We shall stay overnight at Chhukung.

    Accommodation: Eco Lodges
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 14: Chhukung to Lobuche (4940m/16,210ft) via Kongma La pass (5535m/18,159ft): 6 - 7 hours

    We will begin our journey early in the morning to reach the highest part of the entire trip which is Kongma La pass (5,535m). We can either take a trail over a hill which is to the northwest of Chhukung over the Nuptse Glacier moraines or we can walk back to Bibre and trek on the trail above the Niyang Khola. The top of the pass is marked by cairns and Buddhist prayer flags. The final descent from the pass is the most difficult part of today’s journey. After climbing the moraine on the far side, the trail turns north through Khumbu Glacier which takes us to Lobuche. We will spend the night at Lobuche. Trekking through Kongma La is optional. If we do not want to tackle the strenuous Kongma La pass and want to go directly to Lobuche from Chhukung, we can do that as well.

    Accommodation: Eco Lodges
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 15: Lobuche to Gorakshep (5170 m/16,961ft), visit Everest Base Camp (5364 m/17,594 ft): 6-7 hours

    We will walk along the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. Ahead on the trail is Pumori, Mahalangur, Lingtern, Khumbutse, Nuptse, and other mountains along with the tip of Mt. Everest. A small ascent takes us to Thangma Riju. From here we admire panoramic views of the Himalayan vista. We will ascend on a steep trail up to the top of Changri Glacier.  As we reach Gorakshep, we can once again enjoy views of the Himalayas. After resting for a short while, we continue to Everest Base Camp. We pass through rocky dunes, moraines, and streams before reaching the base camp of the world’s tallest mountain. From here we admire Nuptse, Khumbuste, and Pumori before trekking back to Gorakshep. Alternatively, we can visit Kala Patthar today instead of the next day as many believe that the sunset view from Kalapatthar is more stunning than the sunrise view. We will stay at Gorakshep tonight.

    Accommodation: Eco Lodges
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 16: Gorak Shep to Kala Patthar (5545 m/18,192 ft), then to Lobuche (4940 m/16,207 ft): 8 - 9 hours

    We will start our trek to Kalapatthar early in the morning in order to catch remarkable views of the first light of the sun shining on Mt. Everest. However, we need to be prepared for trekking in the dark and cold temperatures (the temperature varies according to the season). Furthermore, there is always a chance for chilly winds which are quite common. As we continue our trek, familiar peaks such as Lingtren, Khumbutse, Changtse, Everest, and Nuptse tower above us. After several hours of ascent, we will be at the top of Kalapatthar. The close-up view of Mt. Everest and other Himalayan peaks from Kalapatthar is amazing. We enjoy the stunning Himalayan vista and descend to Lobuche where we will stay for the night.

    Those participants who will visit Everest Base Camp today will have an early breakfast to start early because the Everest Base Camp hike takes longer than the hike to Kalapatthar.

    Accommodation: Eco Lodges
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 17: Lobuche to High Camp (5,400m/17,712ft): 3-4 hours

    From Lobuche, we will trek towards Lobuche Base Camp. After walking some distance on the relatively flatter plane, the path to the Lobuche Base Camp gets steeper and rocky. We will move forward along the Lobuche Glacier while enjoying great views of Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Pokalde, Thamserku, Kantega and the other Himalayas. From the base camp, we will continue on a rocky moraine path to reach the High Camp. After reaching there, we will set up our camp, take lunch, and rest. For the climb, we usually will be climbing on rocky surfaces for up to around 5770m. After that, we climb on ice and use ropes when necessary. However, the use of the rope and the length depends upon the season and the crevasses. Fixed rope is used most of the time whereas man rope is used when required.  The climbing leaders will decide what the best choice is. After reaching High Camp we could take a rest for the whole day or prepare ourselves for the next day’s summit.  We will be spending our night at the Lobuche East High Camp.

    Accommodation: Tented Camp
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 18: Lobuche High Camp to Summit (6119m/20,070 ft) and Back to High Camp: 8-10 hours

    We will wake up very early and have our breakfast before beginning the climb. It is important to reach the summit before noon because in the afternoon there are strong winds.  We will most likely be walking on rocky surfaces up to around 5700m after which we will climb on ice. We use both fixed rope and man rope as per our leader’s instruction. The climbing surface as well as the length of the rope depends on the time of the season and the crevasses. Lobuche East offers more panoramic views of the mountains than any other trekking peak. From the summit, you get to enjoy magnificent views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Pumori, and many more. We spend some time at the summit celebrating and taking pictures, then we get back to the High Camp again for an overnight stay.

    Accommodation: Tented Camp
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 19: Lobuche High Camp to Dzongla (15, 939 ft): 2 – 3 hours

    Today we will descend downwards after the successful submission of Lobuche. Today we will walk through pastureland and observe yaks grazing there as we move ahead. We will also see many camphor trees on this route. On our journey to Dzongla, we can also see magnificent views of Awi Peak. We will continue descending for around an hour before reaching Dzongla and spending our night there.

    Accommodation: Eco Lodges
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 20: Dzongla to Nirekha Base Camp (4950/1625 ft) via Cho La pass (5368m/17,611 ft): 6 - 7 hours

    As we gain altitude, the Cho La Lake begins to appear. We will also see Ama Dablam presides over a range of mountains on the south and Cholatse soars on the west. Climbing the incline is not easy; it is steep and made worse by boulders over some of which we will have to scramble. The final climb to the Cho La can be a little tricky as the trail curves around a crevasse.  As with most Himalayan passes, the top of the Cho La is marked by prayer flags and cairns.  From here we turn right and walk on a slightly steep path for around two hours before reaching Nirekha Base Camp. From here we will have admirable views of majestic peaks in all directions. We shall have a wonderful stay at Nirekha Base Camp tonight.

    Accommodation: Tented Camp
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 21: Rest Day

    Today we will take a much-needed rest before the next day’s climb of Nirekha Peak. We rest the whole day which will prepare us for climbing Nirekha Peak. By now we will have already had ice climbing experience so pre-climb training is not required. However, if we want to, we can walk on the glacier and practice on our own.  We will spend the night at Nirekha Base Camp before we head towards the High Camp.

    Accommodation: Tented Camp
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 22: Nirekha Peak Base Camp to High Camp (5300m/17385ft): 3 - 4 hours

    After a full day’s rest, we are now in the position to start our trek to the Nirekha Peak High Camp. We will begin our trek on a flat snow-covered trail before ascending on a steep path towards a high camp. The panoramic views of Makalu, Ama Dablam, Kangchung, Baruntse, Cholatse, Lobuche East, Lhotse and Everest are amazing. We will set up our camp and spend the night at Nirekha Peak High Camp. 

    Accommodation: Tented Camp
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 23: Summit Nirekha Peak (6159 m/20201 ft) and Back to Base Camp: 5 -6 hours

    Today we will embark on our ultimate adventure which is summiting the Nirekha Peak. The peak is a bit more technical than Island and Lobuche peaks. We are most likely to begin the trek early in the morning. However, if the weather is not suitable for the climb, we will wait and begin climbing when the weather is clear. As we reach the top of the Nirekha Peak, we are mesmerized by the excellent views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Tawache, Cholatse, Pumori, Changri, and others. After a safe and successful trip to the top, we will safely make our way down to the base camp.

    Accommodation: Tented Camp
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 24: Nirekha Base Camp to Gokyo Lakes (4800m/15,580 ft): 3 -4 hours

    Our trek to Gokyo Lakes begins on a steep path. On the way, we will see the majestic Himalayan peaks in all directions. Although long, the path leading down to Thangnak is not difficult. Our trail brings us to the edge of the Ngozumpa glacier, which is the longest glacier in Nepal. Reaching the other side of the glacier, we see the second Gokyo Lake among the series of six lakes. A short distance away is the third lake. On the edge of this lake stands the Gokyo Village where we will spend the night.

    Accommodation: Eco Lodges
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 25: Rest day in Gokyo: Climb Gokyo Ri (5357m/17,575 ft), tour 4th and 5th Gokyo lakes: 3 - 4 hours

    We will climb Gokyo Ri today and enjoy the views of the incredible mountain vista. We can also tour the fourth Gokyo Lake today which is only 3km north of the Gokyo Village. Then, we will continue trekking to the 5th lake. The view from ‘Scoundrel’s Viewpoint’, located at the edge of the 5th lake, is astonishing. Cho-Oyu, Gyachung Kang, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Makulu mountains and the huge Ngozumba Glacier are before us to admire. We will trek back to Gokyo and spend the night.

    Accommodation: Eco Lodges
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 26: Gokyo to Lumde (4368 m/14328 ft) via Renjo La Pass (5360m/17585 ft): 7 - 8 hours

    We will begin today’s journey early in the morning. Our trail moves alongside Dudh Pokhari for a while. We will walk for around two hours before descending towards the Renjo La pass. On the way, we will see the beautiful Himalayan and Rolwaling ranges. Views from the Renjo La pass are much like that from Gokyo Ri with the third Gokyo Lake and Gokyo Village beneath the grey smear of the Ngozumpa Glacier. We will also get outstanding views of Mt. Everest from the top of the pass. Continuing on from the past, our trail winds down a stone staircase and then moves over loose scree to reach the south bank of Angladumba Tsho Lake. The presence of ice on the trail while descending down can make our descent a bit unsafe. Along the way, we see Relama Tsho and Renjo Lake. We will walk down a narrow valley clogged with giant boulders to Lumde. Our overnight stay will be in Lumde today.

    Accommodation: Eco Lodges
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

  • Day 27: Lumde to Namche Bazaar: 9-10 hours

    After walking for almost an hour we will reach Marlung which is located on the east bank of the Bhote Koshi River. The descent from Marulung to Thame follows a traditional route used for centuries by the Tibetan traders. We will cross the Bhote Koshi River and descend to Taranga. The trail continues to descend and we will cross two bridges before reaching Thame. Overlooking Thame is its famous Gompa situated on a hill to the west.  From here, we will descend gradually on a trail that passes through a few small villages before reaching Namche Bazaar which is probably the biggest town in the Everest region. we shall stay in Namche Bazaar overnight.

    Accommodation: Eco Lodges
    Meals: Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner.

As we continue our trek, we will cross several bridges over the fast-flowing Dudh Koshi River and its tributaries.  Now the trail has become more level and natural. On our trek, we will enjoy walking on open plains, through rhododendron and pine forests, and enjoy distant views of the snow-covered peaks. We will walk through Sherpa villages noticing their impressive faith in Buddhism and the culture of prayer stones and prayer flags. After reaching Lukla, we will stretch those sore legs and recall the experiences of the last couple of weeks. Our long trek to the mountain and its high passes ends today. We shall stay in Lukla.

If you have longed for such a strenuous and challenging but doable climbing expedition with relatively large varieties of traits, this package is the best option for you. Your previous trekking and hiking play a vital role. It is better to take a mountaineering course along with cardio and stress endurance trainings. We suggest you not to take this adventure if you are physically and mentally weak.

Three 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 Climbing Island Lobuche and Nirekha Peak. 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.

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.
