  Island Peak (6189m) is one of the major climbing peaks in Everest Area. The mountain was named "Island Peak" in 1952 due to its striking location in the middle of the Chhukung valley. Island peak has an impressive, highly glaciated West Face, which rises from the Lhotse Glacier. The mountain extends from the South Ridge of Lhotse Shar and is separated only by a small column. From base camp, we will ascend a steep, grassy slope up small rocky steps to the higher camp. It is necessary to climb a steep, exposed snow and ice ramp to the summit ridge; fixed ropes will be used where necessary for a safe ascent to the top. This climb is more of a technical challenge than many other peak climbs, however our experiences guides will assist you as much as is necessary, depending on your climbing experience. The maximum altitude reached is 6189m and a high level of physical fitness and some climbing experience is necessary for this expedition. Island Peak is easy and common so most of the visitor from the world is willing to go there. We can visit Mt. Everest, Mt. Makalu Mt. Lhotse (over 8,000m) and many other Mountains.

After visiting Khumjung village trekking will bring you to the village of Tengboche, home to the highest Buddhist monastery in the world (4100m) and also reputed by photographers as one of the best places to capture the awesome beauty of Mt. Everest (8848m) and its surrounding peaks. You proceed to Dingboche (4410m) passing immense frozen glaciers and dramatic scenery, where another day of acclimatization day is necessary.
