Ive travelled with 2 friends in Nov 2018 to a Expedition to EBC and Chola Pass, we had great time and I strongly recommend Exciting Nepal Agency. The agency was super organized since the booking, they did excellent planning (we had the first flights to arrive and leave from Lukla) what makes huge difference. They also adapt the tour according to our physical condition during the trip (altitude sickness). Our guide Shambuh, took care of everything, always check in on us, so we just needed to worry about walking, "Bistarei, Bistarei" We had such an unforgettable experience and with sure choosing Exciting Nepal made difference!
This is a fabulous trek for those looking for a less traveled path. We really enjoyed passing through all the villages and meeting the locals (and donkeys, yaks goats etc) along the way. Very friendly people, we took a large bag of chocolates to hand out to kids which we would recommend. Beautiful scenery, fascinating villages and challenging hiking at times made for an excellent experience that will stay with us. We went in early March, weather was great but some groups were turned back at the pass due to snow. Helps to have some extra days in case weather is bad. Not for beginners or those not in reasonable shape. Enjoyed the quietness of the route (early season). Tsum Valley a definite highlight, would absolutely recommend adding this to Manaslu Circuit or on its own.
Island Peak located in Everest Region offers an impressive and highly glaciated face that emerges from the Lhotse Glacier. Island peak at an elevation of 6189m is actually an extension of Lhotse Shar located between the Lhotse and Imja glaciers. Island peak climbing also offers spectacular scenery of the Khumbu region and the Chhukung valley. From the highest point of the peak you can delight yourself with the huge south face of Lhotse and the wonderful view of Amadablam Peak.
We begin our climbing expedition with a flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. We accompany the Dudh Koshi river valley and stay one day in the Sherpa town of Namche Bazzar and enjoy the local market. Next day we set our journey towards the amazing view of the pristine Gokyo Lake. We enjoy the climb to famous Gokyo Ri which offers one of the finest scenery of Everest , Cho Oyu and many different mountains. After climbing Gokyo Ri we cross the Cho La pass where we can enjoy yet another great prespective of mountains, and descend to Dingboche. From Dingboche we begin the arrangement for our Island peak climbing expedition. Despite the fact that we can ascend the peak in a single day, however from our earlier experience we spend two nights at the base camp for adjustment and finally attempt the Island summit from the Base Camp.

One highlight of this trek is the incredible view of the ice ridge between Mt. Cho Oyu and Gyachung.
The trekking trail has you walking through the natural habitat of Himalayan wildlife.

During most of the trek we will be hiking in the Sagarmatha National Park, displaying beautiful pine trees, rhododendron flowers (Nepal's national flower) and plenty of wildlife.
At Namche Bazaar, the "capital" of the Everest region we will have 1 extra day for proper acclimatisation. Hereafter we will trek to Tengboche, home to the highest Buddhist monastery in the world.
Tengboche offers great views of Mt. Everest and other known mountain such as Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse etc.
At the final days of this trek we will overnight at the delightful and scenic villages of Khunde and Monjo where we can participate in astonishing traditional lifestyle of the local Sherpa inhabitants.

All in all this is a great little 8 days trek and is very suitable for the ones having short time available but who still wants to experience the Himalayan mountain region and its giant peaks. The trek is not very tough and can be done by anybody capable of walking 5-6 hours a day. If you have doubts on your physical strength we recommend that you book a porter also, before checking out of bookmundi.
