| Mountaineering:
Mera Peak: (6654 meter) Mera Peak is a very famous trekking peak in Nepal which and the highest permitted trekking peak. It lies to the south of Mt. Everest. J.O.M. Roberst and Sen Tenzing were the first to successfully climb this peak on May 20th 1953. The route they used is still the normal route. This adventure is a good introductory mountaineering experience. All the hard work and effort will pay off by stunning scenery that Mera Peak provides.
This peak presents a panoramic view of view of Kanchenjunga, Makalu , Baruntse, Chooyu, Ama Dablam, Kangtega and the Mount Everest. It will present the view of Lhotse and Nupse ridge too.
Generally we set a high camp and ascend to the top of the Peak from high camp and then can return back to base camp on the same day. This is a great adventure in Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal.
Island Peak: Island Peak is 6160 meter high. This peak was named as a Island peak by Erick Shipton's group in 1953 as the peak resembles an island in a sea of ice when observed from Dingboche. The same peak was name Imja Tse in 1983. The peak was first climbed in 1953 by a British group as preparation for climbing Mt. Everest. Among them one of the climbers was Mr. Tenzing Norgay.
The peak is part of the south ridge of Lhotse Shar and the main land forms a semicircle of cliffs that rise to the north of the summits of Nuptse, Lhotse, Middle Peak and Lhotse Shar.
Cho Polu and Makalu lie to the east of the Island Peak. Baruntse, Amphu and Ama Dablam lie to the south.

Parchermo Peak: Perchamo is a very stunning mountain. It was climbed in 1955. This peak is situated south of Tashi Lapcha.
First climbed in 1955, Pharchamo Peak is an attractive snow peak lying south of Tashi Lapcha. It has a north-by-northwest ridge, which rises from the crevassed glacier astride the Tashi Lapcha. The face of the ridge forms a uniform slope broken by crevasse and seraes rising from the rocky lower buttresses above the Drolambau Glaciers in the west.
Rolwaling valley is the main access to Pharchamo, though this route was closed for most of the 1980s due to potential dangers to porters crossing the Tashi Lapcha. The only other alternative route is from the Khumbu side via Namche Bazar and Thame.
