About Trip:

This is an ambitious adventure that will set you atop three Himalayan peaks. The Triple Peak Grand Slam is one of our most challenging tours short of an expedition. If you are feeling fit and fine and looking for an epic journey, then this is ideal for you! These three exciting peaks, Mera, Lobuche and Island Peak all lie within the world famous Khumbu Region near Mount Everest and the highest mountain range on the planet.

The mighty Himalaya offers the best option for getting naturally high and achieving your dreams while strengthening your mountain skill set and climbing resume.
First on the itinerary is Mera Peak, situated in astonishing territory, south of Mt. Everest and on the border of the magnificent Makalu-Barun National Park. Mera Peak is 6,461m/ 21,190 ft and one of the highest of all the trekking peaks in Nepal. It will be a strenuous climb to that altitude, which is higher than most of the peaks beyond the Himalayan Range. From the summit you will have the most thrilling panorama possible of the breathtakingly close, giant peaks of Nepal and Tibet and the land below them.
Next in line is Island Peak after an exhilarating traverse of the Amphu Laptcha high pass. Island Peak 6189 m/20,305 ft is the most popular of the 33 trekking summits 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 mountaintop as we enjoy our thrilling achievement!

We then head down valley to Chukung and eventually join the famous trekking route that goes to Everest Base Camp. We break away from the crowds and follow an isolated valley between the settlements of Dzongla and Lobuche. Lobuche Peak (6119 m/20,075) actually consists of 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 the Triple Peak Grand Slam is suitable for people feeling acclimatized and fit.
