Island Peak+Mera Peak

Island Peak+Mera Peak

3,700 $

Climbing Island Peak is perhaps the best (and only) opportunity for an advanced beginner or intermediate climber to climb over 6000m over a difficult glacier in the heart of the Himalayas. At the same time, the expedition members will make a trek to the Everest base camp. The trekking trail to Mera Peak passes through the countryside, giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the centuries-old Nepalese and Tibetan cultures. While climbing Mera Peak, passing through the charming village of Dingbosh, you can enjoy the splendor of the Khumbu valley glacier. The road through a village rich in Buddhist temples with stone buildings leads to the mountain.
