Everest Region Peaks

The Everest region, home to the world’s tallest mountain, offers some of Nepal’s most iconic trekking peaks for climbers preparing for higher Himalayan expeditions. Among these, Mera Peak (6,476m) stands as the highest trekking peak in Nepal, known for its relatively low technical demands (Grade F–PD) but physically challenging altitude; it provides unmatched views of five 8000-meter giants Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Kangchenjunga—and is best approached via the remote Hinku Valley, starting from Lukla.

Island Peak (6,189m), also known as Imja Tse, lies near the Imja Glacier and is a classic introductory climb for those looking to train for higher peaks; graded PD+, it includes glacier crossings, fixed ropes, and a steep ice headwall near the summit, with routes beginning from Chhukung or Dingboche often combined with the Everest Base Camp trek.

Lobuche East (6,119m) is one of the most technical trekking peaks in the region (Grade PD+ to AD), offering a sharp, exposed summit ridge and breathtaking views of the Everest massif, ideal for experienced climbers seeking a more advanced challenge, usually approached from Lobuche village after acclimatizing on the EBC route.

These peaks, all classified as NMA (Nepal Mountaineering Association) trekking peaks, require climbing permits and are best attempted during the pre-monsoon (April–May) and post-monsoon (October–November) windows when weather and visibility are most favorable.
