Three Peaks in Asia

Mountain landscapes across Asia

Asia’s mountain geography reaches far beyond its highest Himalayan summits. Japan’s volcanic ranges and pilgrimage traditions give its Three Sacred Mountains a cultural identity, while South Korea’s selection connects distinct national park landscapes. Inland, the great mountain belts and plateaus of Central and South Asia occupy a very different geographical scale from the islands and peninsulas of the Pacific margin.

The contrast matters when choosing an experience. A journey centred on Korea’s forested mountains is a different proposition from an expedition enquiry involving Mera Peak, Island Peak and Lobuche East in Nepal. Start with the country introduction, then examine the three named summits and their positions. The directory brings these places into one browsing system while leaving the actual itinerary to a conversation about the destination and your experience.
