EBC + Island Peak Trek & Climb
Trek Overview
Experience the ultimate Himalayan adventure combining the iconic Everest Base Camp trek with the exhilarating Island Peak climb. This journey takes you deep into the Khumbu region, offering stunning views of the world’s highest peaks, serene alpine landscapes, and a chance to summit a Himalayan peak. The trek begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, followed by gradual acclimatization through the Sherpa villages of Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, and Dingboche. Along the way, marvel at breathtaking views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and other towering giants, visit ancient monasteries, and experience the rich Sherpa culture. Reaching Everest Base Camp (5,364m) is the highlight of the trek, where you’ll stand at the foot of the world’s highest mountain. Witness the iconic Khumbu Icefall and the stunning panorama of surrounding peaks. A sunrise hike to Kala Patthar (5,545m) offers one of the most spectacular vantage points in the Himalayas, perfect for photography and reflection. For climbers seeking a bigger challenge, the journey continues with the Island Peak (Imja Tse, 6,189m) ascent. After acclimatization in Chhukung, you’ll trek to Island Peak Base Camp, then to High Camp, and finally summit this impressive peak. The climb requires basic mountaineering skills and equipment, offering a thrilling experience with awe-inspiring views of the Himalayas from above 6,000 meters. The descent retraces the scenic trek through Chhukung, Tengboche, and Namche Bazaar, allowing time to soak in the majestic landscapes one last time. The adventure concludes with a flight back to Kathmandu, leaving trekkers with memories of extraordinary mountains, Sherpa hospitality, and the triumph of summiting a Himalayan peak.
