Island Peak & Everest BC Expedition 6189m - Grade 2B

Island Peak And Everest Base Camp

BackgroundMera & Island Peak Expedition
This is a great first Himalayan mountaineering experience that includes glacier travel, moderate snow and ice climbing and a magnificent peak alongside spectacular views of Everest and many of Nepal’s other 8000m peaks.

You will have time to explore the exotic city of Kathmandu before flying into the remote mountain town of Lukla where you begin your trek into the Khumbu region of the Himalaya. We follow the main Everest trail through the many tiny villages with their Buddhist monasteries and unique mountain culture. The views growmore spectacular as we
progress up the Dudh Kosi River to Namche Bazaar, the gateway to the Khumbu region and then up through Thyangboche where you are rewarded with spectacular views of Ama Dablam,Mt. Everest and Lhotse.

ISLAND PEAK (only) those on a shorter time schedule will enter the Imja Valley before Pheriche and work their way gradually up towards the high camp.

ISLAND PEAK & EVEREST BASE CAMP - Those withmore time continue up the valley through Pheriche to Gorak Shep to do an ascent of Kalar Patar at 5554m and to visit Everest BC before returning for their ascent of Island Peak.

ISLAND PEAK SUMMIT DAY - From the high camp the ascent involves a comfortable scramble,an intriguing rock ridge and then onto awonderful glacier. Onwards, a steep snowheadwall leads to a classic summit ridge. From here you are afforded fabulous views of many Himalayan giants, including the immense face of Lhotse, the elegant pyramid of Ama Dablam, the ragged summits of Nuptse and beyond to Baruntse and Makalu.

Level of support
The expedition will have an experienced leader from Adventure Peaks who will be supported by our local guide and team of porters. The expedition will have full Base Camp services.
