Overview of Mera Peak with Island Peak Expedition

If you’re looking for a complete Himalayan experience , something beyond just trekking this Mera Peak and Island peak expedition is one of the best journeys you can take in Nepal. It combines remote wilderness, high mountain passes and two incredible summit climbs all in one trip.

We begin in Kathmandu where we take time to check gear and prepare for the mountains. From here, we fly to lukla a small mountain airstrip that marks the start of our trek. While most trekkers head straight into the Everest Base Camp trails , we take a quieter route into the Hinku valley one of the more remote and less crowded areas of the himalayas

The First part of the journey is all about the gradual and acclimatization. We walk through the forests of pine and rhododendrons, cross the rivers through the suspension bridges and pass through the small , peaceful villages where life is still very traditional. As we gain the altitude, the landscapes opens up into the wide alpine valleys and eventually into the glacial terrain

Our first big objective is Mera Peak. Its the highest trekking peak in Nepal and while it doesnot require technical climbing skills it is physically demanding due to the altitude and long summit day. We move slowly, allowing proper acclimatization and before the summit push and we provide basic training on using crampons , ice axes and ropes.

Summit day on Mera Peak usually starts early before sunrise. It’s a climb on snow and glacier but the view from the top is amazing. From the summit you can see many of the worlds mountains like Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Kanchenjunga on a clear day.

After celebrating and descending safely the journey gets more exciting. We cross the Amphu Lapcha Pass, one of the challenging and remote passes in Nepal. This part of the expedition feels really wild and remote with sections, ice and incredible glacier views. It’s a day but also one of the best parts of the trip.

When we enter the Everest region you’ll notice a change. There are villages, monasteries and a strong Sherpa culture. We pass through trekking areas and make our way to our second peak.

The final climbing goal is Island Peak. Unlike Mera Peak, Island Peak is more technical. It involves traveling on glaciers using fixed ropes and climbing an ice wall near the summit. We take time to prepare properly with acclimatization hikes, gear checks and basic climbing practice to ensure everyone is confident and ready. The effort is rewarded with an exciting summit climb and breathtaking views of some of the Himalayas famous peaks making it a truly unforgettable experience, on Island Peak.

Day 12 Summit Mera Peak then Return (6,476m , 8–10 hrs)

Today is the summit day and it starts very early in the morning, usually before the sunrise. It is very cold and dark and you will use a headlamp to see the path. You will begin walking slowly on snow and ice from the high camp. The route is mostly a long uphill climb on a glacier. You will wear the crampons on your boots so you don’t slip on the ice and you are often tied to your team with rope for the safety

As you go higher the air becomes very thin so breathing becomes harder and every step feels tiring. The path is not very technical but it is long and steep so you need steady pace and patience. Near the top the slope becomes a bit steeper and more tiring and you feel very slow because of the altitude

When the sun rises, you can see amazing big mountains like Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu glowing in the morning light. Reaching the top feels very special and emotional because of the hard climb.

After a short time at the summit, you start going back down the same route over the glacier. The descent is faster but still careful because of ice and tired legs. You return to High Camp or Khare, where you rest and eat dinner. You feel very tired but very happy and proud.

Day 17 Summit Island Peak then Return to Base Camp (6,189m | 8–10 hrs)

Summit day starts very early, usually around midnight or 1 am , when it is freezing cold and completely dark. You begin the climb from Island Peak Base Camp using headlamps to see the trail. The first part of the route is a rocky and snowy path that slowly leads up to the glacier.

After reaching the glacier, you put on crampons and move carefully over snow and ice. The route becomes steeper as you go higher and you are often fixed to ropes for safety. You walk slowly in a line with your team, step by step because the air is very thin and breathing is difficult.

Near the top, there is a steep ice wall section where fixed ropes are used. You pull yourself up carefully using a jumar (Ascender) while placing your feet on the icy steps. This part is the hardest and requires full focus and strength.

After this, you reach the summit ridge, which is narrow and snowy. From the top , you can see amazing views of lhotse, Ama Dablam and other Himalayan peaks glowing in the morning sun. Reaching the summit feels very emotional because of the long and tough climb.

After a short time at the top, you start descending the same way back downcarefully climbing down the ice wall, then walking back over the glacier to base camp. The descent is faster but still tiring. When you reach base camp, you feel extremely exhausted but very proud and happy for what you achieved.

Trip Information

Best Season

The Best Time to do the Mera Peak and Island peak climbing is during the two main climbing season in Nepal which is spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These periods offers most stable weather, clearer skies and safer climbing conditions which is wht both of the time is preferred for both trekking as well as high-altitude mountaineering in Nepal.

Spring Season (March-May)

Spring is one of the best times for this expedition ,offering a balanced combination of stable weather, moderate temperature and beautiful naturall scenery. During this season , the lower valleys are filled with the blooming rhododendron forests , green landscapes, and clear river views making the trekking section visually very rich and enjoyable . As you gain altitude , temperatures gradually drop but the conditions remains very manageable with the proper gear. 

The weather is generally stable in the morinings with clear skies, which provide excellent visibility of himalayan peaks such as Everest, Makalu, Lhotse and Ama Dablam. Afternions can sometimes bring the cloud frmations, especially in mid altitude regions but heavy stroms are rare compared to the other seasons. At the higher elevation above 5000 m temperatures remain very cold often dropping below freezing at night and snow conditions can become more softeer latrine the day making climbing more physically demanding . 

Overall spring offers slightly warmer trekking conditions, vibrant landscapes and reliable climbing windows making it a very good option for those who prefer a more colorful and dynamic mountain environment.

Autumn Season (Sept-Nov)

Autumn is widely considered as the best and most reliable season for this expedition due to its extremely stable weather and exceptional mountain visibility. After the monsoon the air becomes clean, dry and crystal clear creating some of the best panoramic views of the himalayas throughout the entire year.

The weather during autumn is very stable with clear blue skies dominating most days and very low chances of rainfall or snowfall interruptions. This makes trekking conditions safer and more predictable, especially in the remote and high-altitude sections. Trails remain mainly dry and firm in the lower regions and glacier travel becomes safer due to the better snow consistency at the high elevations.

Temperatures are generally colder than spring especially above 4000m with the nigh temperatures at the higher camps often dropping well below freezing. However the dry air makes the cold feel more manageable and climbing efficiency improves due to the stable conditions.

Visibility is at its absolute best in autumn with sharp unobstructed views of peaks like Everest, Makalu , Lhotse and Ama Dablam. The Himalayan scenery appears to be more clear and more dramatic especially during the sunrise and the sunset moments  which makes the ideal for both photography and summit attempts.

Overall autumn provides the safest climbing conditions, best visibility and most consistent weather, making it as the best time to conquer both of the peak.

Experience of a lifetime An unforgettable and truly divine Kailash Mansarovar Yatra 🙏 I had the privilege of completing the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in August 2026 with Dineshji and his dedicated team, along with a group of 29 fellow travelers now Family members. From the beginning of the journey until our safe return, the entire team was supportive, well-organized, and caring. The arrangements throughout the yatra were handled responsibly, and the team was always there to guide and assist us whenever needed. Travelling to such a sacred and challenging destination is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and having a dependable team makes the journey even more meaningful. We completed our yatra safely and happily, and I am grateful for the wonderful memories we have brought back with us.

A sacred journey to Kailash with Nature Explorer Trek Our journey to Kailash was not just a trek or a trip; it was a deeply spiritual and holy experience, and I am truly grateful to Nature Explorer Trek for making this sacred journey so memorable and comfortable. From the very beginning of the journey until the very end, the entire team was extremely supportive and helpful. A Kailash pilgrimage is not an ordinary journey—it comes with physical challenges, difficult terrain, changing weather conditions, long travel hours, and many unexpected situations. Throughout all of this, the team was there to guide, assist, and encourage us whenever needed. What impressed me the most was the way they took care of each and every aspect of the journey. Whether it was travel arrangements, accommodation, meals ( pure vegetarian), coordination, guidance, or helping us whenever we faced any difficulty, the team was always approachable

Amazing Kailash Yatra Exceptional Team – They Truly Care About Their Guests We had an incredible and unforgettable experience with the Nature Explorer Trek team in Kathmandu during our Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Our group consisted of 29 people, and throughout the journey the entire team, led by Dineshji and Deepakji, looked after us exceptionally well. At one stage, we faced an extremely difficult and potentially life-threatening situation while crossing the border. It was during moments like this that we really saw the quality of the Nature Explorer team. They remained calm, supportive and completely focused on the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our group. Even during some very challenging days, their staff were always smiling and ready to help. The food was excellent, the care was exceptional, and there was a genuine sense that they were looking after us as people, not simply as customers. What impressed us even more was how they supported us when our original return journey was disrupted due to the road and border situation. Instead of leaving us to work things out ourselves, Dineshji and his team worked continuously to find an alternative way to get our entire group home. They reorganised our return journey via Lhasa and arranged the necessary travel so that we could get back to Kathmandu and connect with our international flights. Managing alternative arrangements for a group of 29 people in such difficult circumstances was not easy, but they stayed with us and supported us throughout. For me, this is what separates a good tour company from an exceptional one. Everything can go well when conditions are normal; you really discover the quality of a team when something unexpected happens.A huge thank you to Dineshji, Deepakji and the entire Nature Explorer Trek team for your care, commitment and hospitality. You made a very challenging situation manageable and helped make our Kailash Mansarovar journey an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. I would highly recommend Nature Explorer Trek to anyone considering this journey. With them, you don’t feel like just another customer you genuinely feel that you are being looked after like family. 🙏 Thank you to the entire team.🙏

Kailash Trek I travelled with a group of my friends for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. It was an excellent time throughout, with very helpful guidance and support all along the way. All accommodation and treatment was very good, and we were well looked after Provided food, accomodation, and travel guidance was all good and accurate. Even if you not feeling well or don’t feel like to eat the sherpas make sure you are looked after. Amazing experiences all the way through. Highly recommended. The trek is very challenging, and it would not be possible without the amazing support provided. Even during unexpected events such as the floods in Nepal, Dineshji made sure we were all safe and we reached our homes safely.

Outstanding Mount Kailash Pilgrimage Experience with 29 Amazing Travellers (Friends Who Became Family) ★★★★★ Outstanding Mount Kailash Pilgrimage Experience with 29 Amazing Travellers (Friends Who Became Family) I recently completed the Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra with Nature Explore Trek, and I could not be happier with the experience. From the initial planning stages through to the completion of the sacred Kailash Parikrama, the entire journey was professionally organised and exceptionally well managed. Travelling with a group of 29 people was one of the highlights of the trip. We started as strangers, but over the course of the journey, we became a family. The friendships, support, laughter, and shared experiences created memories that will stay with me forever. The team demonstrated outstanding care, especially during the challenging high-altitude sections of the pilgrimage. They were always available to provide guidance, encouragement, and assistance whenever needed. Their experience, professionalism, and commitment to the safety and well-being of every pilgrim gave us great confidence throughout the journey. Accommodation, transportation, meals, and overall logistics were handled smoothly, allowing us to focus on the spiritual significance of the pilgrimage rather than worrying about travel arrangements. The acclimatization schedule was thoughtfully planned and helped prepare us for the challenges of high altitude. What stood out most was the genuine kindness and dedication of the guides and support staff. They treated every traveler like family and went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable, supported, and included throughout the journey. I was particularly impressed by how professionally the team handled unexpected challenges. During the Nepal flooding events that affected travel plans, the Nature Explore Trek team acted quickly and efficiently to reroute our return journey, ensuring that we arrived home on time with minimal disruption. They kept us informed throughout the process and managed a difficult situation with remarkable professionalism. Additionally, when one of our fellow group members experienced a medical emergency, the team responded promptly and compassionately. They coordinated the necessary assistance, closely monitored the situation, and provided regular updates to the group. Their calm approach and genuine concern for the individual's well being gave everyone peace of mind during a stressful time. Mount Kailash is far more than just a trekking destination. It is a life-changing spiritual journey filled with challenges, self-discovery, and blessings. I am deeply grateful to the entire Nature Explore Trek team for helping make this pilgrimage such a memorable, meaningful, and spiritually fulfilling experience. I highly, highly recommend this company to anyone considering the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra or any trekking adventure in Nepal. If Lord Shiva blesses me with another opportunity to undertake a spiritual journey in the Himalayas, I would happily travel with Nature Explore Trek again and again. They will certainly be my first choice for future trips, including the Everest Base Camp trek. Om Namah Shivaya 🙏 Highly recommended without hesitation.

Excellent! Me and my wife joined a group of 27 other friends from Australia for the much awaited Kailash Manasarovar trip through Nature Explore Trek that was led by Dinesh Ji and his team of Sherpas. Their planing and execution was impeccable. Every detail from day 1 to 15 was accounted for. Their diligence, patience and perseverance was simply extraordinary! Kailash trek is challenging for many. This would not have been possible without the support of the team that looked after us. They not only motivated us, but kept the spirit alive day in and day out. The choice of hotels, food, comfort was never compromised. They diligently checked our health, oxygen safe and advised us promptly. They were quick to identify medical deterioration in one of us and ensured they got timely medical assistance. I would highly recommend Nature Explore Trek! Kudos to Dinesh, Deepak, Chabbin, Kedar, Mohan, Tej and many other Sherpa brothers for the amazing work they do!!

Memorable Kailash Yatra An excellent experience with an amazing Sherpa team during our Kailash Yatra. Ramchandra, Deepak, Mr Bean (Chabin), Kedar, Gopal, Mohan, Ramesh, and the entire Sherpa team took exceptional care of us throughout the journey. They were hardworking, cheerful, and always there with a smile and a helping hand. The food served throughout the trip was absolutely delicious, and the Sherpas always made sure we ate well. Even when we didn’t feel like eating, they would lovingly insist and make sure we had something to eat. Their care and encouragement made them the true supporters of our Kailash Yatra. A special mention to Dineshji, our guide, who was calm, friendly, patient, and always happy to answer our questions. The Nepal China disaster occurred while we were on this trip and he ensured appropriate arrangements were made for our safe return. Thank you all for making this journey so memorable. Truly an outstanding team! 🙏

Kailash Mansarovar 20Aug-4Sep 2026 We had great experience from the day we started discussing the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Post booking we were supported for preparing our selves physically and mentally. Our arrival, accommodation, comfort, support by the team and guidance was very valuable. All Sherpa treated us like their family and looked after us very well. Our smallest need were looked after. We spent very memorable time with all. Our permit, China visa and all transport were well looked after. We were fed fresh vegetarian food every day and with love and smile. The Kailash journey was well supported by my Sherpa- Mr Bean, who was the team member. I would not have been able to do it without his help. Motivating me, walking with me, providing water, oxygen etc was all taken care for so that I could be connected with the environment. Our return journey needed to be adjusted for due to flood and that was well covered as per group request. We had nothing but great positive experiences every single day. With Lord Shiva’s blessing, we were connected with right tour guides who are just amazing! I would go with them without any doubt in future and highly recommend them. Thank you Dineshji, Mr Bean and all Nature Explorers tour team.
