- Hard to climb, First Kyajo Ri, Second Lobuche, and last Island peak.
- Lobuche and Kyajo Ri peak require 600 meters to fix the rope and 150 meters main ropes with full-sized climbing gears.
- For mountaineering and peak climbing in Nepal, please bring insurance coverage. That will be helpful during an emergency evacuation and high altitude sickness.

Awesome Time In Lap Of Himalayas
A colleague who been to Nepal last year recommended I enroll with Peak Climbing Nepal to taste an excellent trekking experience. From the very beginning, they were very good at responding to my queries, and it was them who suggested three peak climbing packages. Before, I had never been to the mountainous region, not even experienced snow.
When I landed, first, they helped me pick up the necessary gear for climbing. They were so good at bargaining.
The trip began to thrill me when I got into that tiny plane for a flight to Lukla. After reaching Luka, I was already amazed to see the remote mountainous surrounding. But genuinely speaking, I never thought they could manage excellent accommodation and food at such high altitude spots.
As the agency had pre-informed me about the challenges, I was prepared physically and mentally for it. The instruction and counseling of the Sherpa guide made it even easier to conquer the peaks.
I didn’t regret picking up my friend’s suggestion for Peak Climbing Nepal.
Cheers!!!

Three Peaks In Single Package
I am a solo female traveler and am proud to announce this is the safest and wildest trek to date.
I had been to EBC back in 2015 and have since wanted to explore some peaks nearby. And must say, this amazing three peaks package by Peak Climbing Nepal fulfilled my bucket list.
It was on Day 10 of the trip, I climbed my first peak. We headed to Summit Island Peak at 5 a.m. It took nearly 10 to 11 hours to summit and get back down to base camp. On the 16th Day, I summited Lobuce Peak, and finally, on the 27th Day, we hit the last peak on the list, Kyajo Ri Peak.
After climbing these peaks, I developed acute love for mountains and a desire to go for higher mountains in the future.
Will see you on my next mountain trip.

Excellent Arrangement of Island, Lobuche and Kyajo-Ri Peak climbing!!
We are a group of 3 people who joined Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition for our adventurous climb of three peaks, namely – Island Peak, Lobuche Peak and Kyajo-Ri.
Everything prior and after the trip was very well handled with no problems. All the staffs were friendly, hard-working and played a vital role in our successful summit attempts of the peaks. We were provided with best tents and mattresses, our kitchen crew always fed us healthy and hygienic food much needed for tuff climbing.
Our climbing guide was Ang-Dawa Sherpa, he was an experienced climber who knew the routes well and had good leadership. We really appreciate his skilful leadership that led us to the summits of all three peaks.
Climbing all the peaks was an amazing experience for us. Now we know for sure we will come back and do more climbing with Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition.
For anyone who wants to gain adventure and thrill-filled climbing experience, we recommend Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition !!!
