Itinerary

Take your Himalayan ambitions to new heights with the "Everest Base Camp with Island Peak" climbing tour. This expertly designed trip leads young adults and experienced travelers from the bustling streets of Kathmandu to the legendary Everest Base Camp, followed by a challenging ascent of Island Peak (Imja Tse). Trek through the Dudh Kosi Valley and acclimatize in the vibrant Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar, before visiting iconic sites like Tengboche Monastery and Kala Pattar. After soaking up Everest’s grandeur, prepare for your summit attempt on Island Peak, with additional days allocated for weather and acclimatization. The unique aspect of this tour package is its dual achievement—offering both a classic trekking adventure and a technical Himalayan climb, all in one unforgettable journey.

day 1Fly to Lukla (2,804 m) and trek to Phakding (2,610 m)

An early morning start takes us to the airport in Kathmandu for the 35-minute scenic flight to Tenzing and Hillary Airport at Lukla (2,804 m). On arrival at the airport, the guide will brief you and introduce our porters before we begin our trek toward Phakding.
After landing we have time to explore the village while our Sherpa crew sort and load our trekking equipment. Then we begin our trek by descending towards the Dudh Kosi River where we join the main trail to Namche Bazaar, located just above Chaunrikharka (2,713 m). The walking is easy. After passing through the small village of Ghat (2,550 m), it is a short walk to Phakding.

4.67/5

Excellent based on 836 customer reviews from

Dudley

The process from finding the tour we wanted to take to getting set up for the tour was an easy process. The other reviews we saw gave us the security of using their website to book our trip. The only item we missed which would have given a 5* was the trip did not include see the Alps up close or a train trip. Well maybe next time there may be one and we would definitely take that trip.
