Itinerary

Experience the thrill of adventure on this 14-day trekking and climbing tour through Nepal’s Himalayas, where you’ll journey to Everest Base Camp and ascend Island Peak (Imja Tse) at 6,189 meters. Starting with a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the route weaves through legendary Sherpa villages—Phakding, Namche, Tengboche, and Lobuche—culminating at the iconic Everest Base Camp on Day 8.

From there, the expedition shifts to Island Peak, an emerging favorite in the Everest region, suitable for climbers of all levels. Day 11 offers the unforgettable challenge of summiting Island Peak, followed by a rewarding descent to Chhukung. The trek concludes with a return to Lukla and a flight back to Kathmandu.

This trip is ideal for intrepid trekkers and mountaineers eager to blend classic Himalayan trekking with the excitement of a Himalayan peak climb. The unique selling point: you’ll not only stand at Everest Base Camp but also conquer Island Peak, enjoying panoramic vistas of some of the world’s highest mountains—a dual adventure unmatched in the region.
