About Trip:
This is an epic journey that includes summiting three Himalayan peaks! It is slightly shorter in length than our Triple Peak Grand Slam, but offers many of the same thrilling highlights and is one of the most challenging of Himalaya Hikes’ adventures! If you are feeling fit and fine and looking for a challenge, then a climb of Three Khumbu Peaks is for you! These exhilarating peaks, Island Peak, Pokhalde and Lobuche all lie within the world famous Khumbu Region and are part of the highest mountain range on the planet.The Himalaya are the best option for getting naturally high and achieving your dreams while strengthening your mountain skill set and climbing resume.
First on the itinerary of the Three Khumbu Peaks climb is Island Peakat 6189 m/20,305 ft. This summit is the most popular of the 33 trekking peaks and located south of Everest and west of the Makalu-Barun National Park. Base camp is established at 5210 m/17,075 ft, and high camp at 5600m/18,370 ft. Early in the morning we push for the summit with an unforgettable sunrise from the top as we enjoy our thrilling achievement!
Next in line is Pokhalde Peak (5806 m/19,048 ft) Pokhalde (5,806 m) first climbed in 1953 by the British Everest Expedition team.It can be a scramble over rocky, rugged terrain but the thrilling panorama from the top is spectacular, especially of the Lhotse-Nupste wall and the surrounding Himalayan valleys and more!
Finally, we make our way to Lobuche Peak (6119 m/20,075) which actually has two peaks, Lobuche East and Lobuche West, connected by a ridge that is nearly 2 km long. The western peak is quite technical and considered an expedition peak and the eastern peak, our aim, is gained by the south ridge. This peak is the closest of all the trekking peaks to Mt. Everest. From the top you will have an unimaginably thrilling panorama of the mighty Himalaya with breathtaking views of Everest and the surrounding peaks and valleys of Nepal and Tibet.
Although these peaks require no previous experience in mountaineering, they will be a physical challenge and this adventure is suitable for people feeling acclimatized and fit.

Trip Note
The above itinerary should be taken only as a guide line; since we will be trekking on some of the most remote terrain on earth, it could change due to weather, availability of clean water and campsite, trail or any other unforeseen conditions. In the event of this happening, your senior guide will make the final decision after consulting with the group.
Your Sherpa Crew
At Himalaya Hikes, our Sherpa crews are critical to the success of your treks & climbs that you do with us. We us professionally trained Sherpa guides & sirdars who are just not hikers & climbers on the mountains but have been trained to perform this task with a lot of common sense & guile. We ensure that they are confident & experienced in leading ventures into some of the most isolated parts of Nepal. Most of our guides were born in these parts & have relatives living on other parts of the regions where they were born in.
We know that locally born staffs are a vital cog in that wheel of sometimes dangerous adventure where anything can happen.
Trekkers benefit a lot from local guides who have the local knowledge that can give you deep insights into the local culture where you understand the lifestyles of communities of the areas you hike through. Your travel is also directly supporting local communities, creating employment & giving back to the local folks as you travel through their districts & regions.
All of our local crew, guides, sirdars & porters all have critical first aid training & even possess the abilities to save your life in the most serious of conditions. At Himalaya Hikes, we always make sure that our mountain crews are highly motivated & never compromise on the facilities they deserve.
