About this trip
This is a serious 19-day trip combining the classic Everest Base Camp trek with a technical climb up Island Peak (6,189m), starting and ending in Kathmandu.
You'll fly into Lukla and walk up through Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar and Tengboche before reaching Everest Base Camp and the Kalapatthar viewpoint, with Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam all in view along the way.
The second half of the trip is the climb itself, moving up to Island Peak Base Camp and then summiting on fixed ropes over icy, slippery terrain — a proper mountaineering objective rather than just a long walk.
What you'll do
- Fly into Lukla and trek through Phakding, Namche Bazaar and Tengboche
- Reach Everest Base Camp and the Kalapatthar viewpoint
- Take in views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam
- Explore Sherpa villages, old Buddhist monasteries and the Khumbu Glacier
- Walk through Sagarmatha National Park's fir and rhododendron forest
- Summit Island Peak at 6,189m
- This is a demanding climb, not just a trek — good physical fitness is essential and prior trekking experience will help
- You'll be on slippery trails and icy slopes for the Island Peak summit push, so expect technical, high-altitude conditions
- Fully guided throughout, with support from guides and porters
