Background
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

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.
