Tour Details

Island Peak in Nepal is known for its technically straightforward climbing route, making it a popular choice for climbers preparing for higher mountains. Many choose to ascend Island Peak as a precursor to tackling eight-thousanders like Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Baruntse. Its popularity in the Everest region is due to this practice. Climbers typically undertake this ascent in the autumn (September to December) and spring (March to May). The approach to Island Peak can be made via the Everest Base Camp trek or by taking the route from Dingboche to the Chhukung Valley, then ascending to the Island Peak Base Camp.

The climbing expedition for Island Peak can be completed within 14 to 17 days. It requires a basic climbing course covering skills such as rope handling, using a jumar, locking and unlocking carabiners, and harnessing. Physical fitness is essential for this climb. The expedition includes lodge accommodations and two nights of camping at the base camp. An experienced climbing Sherpa will be provided for guidance.

Day 4 Trek to Namche [3450m]

From Phakding, we cross and re-cross the river on high suspension bridges. Beyond Monjo is the entrance to the Sagarmatha National Park which was set-up in order to protect and preserve this fragile mountain environment. We then ascend quite steeply to Namche and along the way, if the weather is clear, catch a first glimpse of Mt Everest in the distance. Namche is the main trading village in the Khumbu and has a busy Saturday market – a meeting place for the Hindu traders from the lowlands and the Tibetan yak caravans that have crossed the glaciated Nangpa La Pass.Overnight in Lodge/Hotel [Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner].

 

Day 5 Rest day in Namche

Namche is tucked away between two ridges amidst the giant peaks of the Khumbu and has an abundance of lodges, tea shops and souvenir shops as well as a magnificent outlook. It is an ideal place to spend a rest day, acclimatizing to the new altitude before heading off towards Tengboche. Options for acclimatization walks include a visit to Khunde hospital which was set-up by Sir Edmund Hillary, or a one hour walk up to the Everest view hotel above Namche for the sunset view of Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest. There are also good views from the national park centre and museum just above the town.Overnight in Lodge/Hotel [Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner].

 

Day 6 Trek to Tengboche [3867m]

From Namche, the trail contours around the side of the valley, high above the Dudh Kosi. Now we get our first really good views of the great peaks of the Khumbu including mt Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam. Passing by several villages and numerous tea shops, we descend steeply to a bridge over the river at Phunki Tenga. The village is an excellent lunch spot, and here we can rest before making the steep climb to Tengboche. Although tiring, the hike up the zigzag path has numerous distractions, with rhododendron bushes, beautiful birds and superb mountain scenery. Tengboche is famous for its legendary monastery, the largest in the Khumbu.Overnight in Lodge/Hotel [Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner].

Day 7 Trek to Pheriche [4252m]

We descend steeply through a forest, cross the Imja Khola and climb steadily to the village of Pangboche. This is directly opposite Ama Dablam [6856m], and has exceptional views of the mountain, with the gompa, mani walls and scattered pine trees in the foreground. A further two hours walk brings us to Pheriche. Overnight in Lodge/Hotel [Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner].

Day 9 Trek to Lobuche [4930m]

We continue up the wide valley beneath the impressive peaks of Cholatse and Tawache on the left. We then turn right and climb more steeply towards the foot of the Khumbu Glacier. The tea house at Duglha is a good spot to have lunch, before zigzagging up through the boulders of the glacier’s terminal moraine. At the top of this climb there are many stone cairns, built as memorials to the many Sherpas who have died while climbing Mt Everest. The path then climbs gently along the glacier, to eventually reach the cluster of houses at Lobuche.Overnight in Lodge/Hotel [Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner].

Day 10 Trek to Gorak Shep [5184m]

To reach our next objective, Kala Pattar, the trail follows the Khumbu Glacier, and offers superb views of the surrounding mountains, especially where the path is forced to rise to cross a tributary glacier. We stop for lunch at our camping place for the night, Gorak Shep. Later in the afternoon, when the sunset colors begin to appear on Everest, we make our way to the top of one of the finest viewpoints in the Everest region, Kala Pattar [5554m]. As the light begins to fade we stroll back to Gorak Shep and have an early night in preparation for our trek to Everest Base Camp the following day.Overnight in Lodge/Hotel [Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner].

Day 11 Trek to Everest Base Camp [5357m]

To reach Everest Base Camp, a very early start is required, as it takes several hours on a trail which weaves its way through ice pinnacles and past the crevasses of the Khumbu Glacier. On the return leg, we can take a higher route to get a spectacular view of the Khumbu icefall and the route to the South Col. We return to either Gorak Shep or Lobuche for the night.Overnight in Lodge/Hotel [Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner].

Base camp is by the side of the Imja glacier, below steep grassy slopes which mark the start of the climb on Island Peak. Overnight in Tents [Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner].

Day 15Ascent Island Peak [6190m]

Today is your dream day. Crossing the gully above the camp the trail makes a climb for another hour to a narrow ridge, leading on to the glacier. Here it is time to rope-up and put on our crampons as the most interesting part of the climb begins with the glacier crossing. This is followed by the steep snow slope that leads onto the summit ridge. This ridge is wonderfully airy and on reaching the summit we have stunning close-up views of the south face of Lhotse looming over us whilst in the other direction, there are more dramatic mountain views. We descend along the same route, down to base camp. Overnight in Tents [Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner].
