Mardi Himal
Technically a high camp trek rather than a climb — no crampons needed to the standard high camp (4,500m). A stunning introduction to high-altitude terrain in the Annapurna sanctuary.

FAQ
Nepal Peak Climbing FAQ
Do I need mountaineering experience to climb Nepal peaks?
Not for our introductory peaks. Mera Peak (6,476m) and Yala Peak (5,732m) require no prior technical experience — just good trekking fitness. Island Peak (6,189m) requires familiarity with crampons and ice axe, which our guides teach during two preparation days built into the itinerary. Lobuche East and Pisang Peak involve more technical ridge sections and are best for those with some scrambling or basic climbing experience.
What climbing equipment do I need to bring?
We provide shared technical gear: fixed ropes, snow anchors, and a team rope. You need to bring or rent: mountaineering boots (double boots recommended above 5,800m), crampons (can be rented in Kathmandu), ice axe (can be rented), harness, and a warm layering system. We send a comprehensive gear list at booking and can arrange rentals from trusted Thamel outfitters for $8–15/day per item.
What is included in a Nepal peak climbing package?
All our climbing packages include: NMA climbing permit, regional conservation permits, TIMS card, airport transfers, all accommodation (tea house on approach trek + base camp tent), all meals on trek and at base camp, certified NMA climbing guide, assistant guide above base camp, all technical fixed ropes and anchors, porters (1 per 2 climbers), and a comprehensive pre-climb briefing in Kathmandu. International flights and personal gear are excluded.
What is the success rate for Nepal peak climbs?
On our guided expeditions: Mera Peak 88%, Island Peak 82%, Yala Peak 95%, Lobuche East 78%. Success rates depend heavily on weather windows (October and May have the highest summits), acclimatisation quality, and individual fitness. We never rush the acclimatisation schedule to chase summit days — a failed summit from proper acclimatisation is safer and more enjoyable than a forced ascent.
Can I combine a peak climb with Everest Base Camp?
Absolutely — this is one of our most popular combinations. The Island Peak + EBC itinerary (20 days) follows the EBC route to Gorak Shep, then branches to Chhukung for Island Peak before returning via Namche. Lobuche East is also commonly combined with EBC. Mera Peak uses a different valley (Hinku) and requires a full 18-day dedicated itinerary.
When is the best time to climb peaks in Nepal?
October–November is the most popular window — clear skies after monsoon, settled weather, and good snow conditions. April–May (spring) is equally good and often preferred for Mera Peak as the Hinku Valley approaches dry out faster. Avoid December–February (extreme cold, high wind) and June–September (monsoon, unstable snow).
