Island Peak climbing with Everest Base Camp Trek:Familarity with paradise

Not to mention, the black rocks of Kalapattar add to the wild attire that the base camp beholds. Above all, Island peak climbing is a challenging experience of climbing up the Island peak. People generally consider the peak an expedition-style climb. It is best for those who would love to opt for some expeditions up next.

Island peak is also popular as Imja Tse. The peak is located just above the summer settlement of Chhukung. It is distinctly visible as we move ahead from Dingboche to Chhukung.  As the island is a piece of land in a vast sea or ocean, Island peak is a beautiful peak that rises above amidst the Mt. Lhotse and the Lhotse Shar glaciers, therefore, the peak is named as Island peak. The peak was first climbed by Charles Evan, Alf Gregory and Charles Wylie in 1953. They climbed the peak as a part of the preparation for climbing the mighty Mt. Everest. The peak offers some splendid views of mountains in Everest region.

The journey of Island Peak climbing with Everest Base Camp Trek initiates with a sightseeing tour in Kathmandu. A flight to Lukla follows the tour. Someone will escort you through the normal trekking trail to Everest Base Camp Trek from Lukla. In addition, from Everest Base Camp, you will be escorted down to Dingboche from where we take a trail that leads us to the summer settlement of Chhukung.

Moreover, from the Chhukung valley, the Island peak is distinctly visible. We take a trail to Island Peak Base Camp where we spend a few days climbing up the peak. After a successful climbing attempt, we descend down to Lukla via Namche. In this way, Nepal Intrepid Treks wrap up your journey to the Everest Base Camp along with the adventure activity of Island peak climbing.

Today is the day your Everest Base Camp Trek starts. From the domestic terminal of Kathmandu airport you will take a flight to Lukla– a thrilling experience owning to the dramatic location of its airport. During the flight, you will get some stunning views of mountains arranged like a row of thorns. At Lukla airport, you will take your first step in the Khumbu region of Nepal, home to the highest peak in the world – Mt. Everest.

Descending towards the Dudh Koshi River, and cross a suspension bridge. We then continue the path to Phakding – a small village and our stopping point for the day.

Day 04: Trek to Namche (3,443m) – 6 hours

Leaving Phakding, we follow the trail that weaves up and down through villages and gorgeous rhododendron forests. You will pass donkeys, yaks and Sherpas carrying tremendous loads on their backs, as there are no roads in the Himalayas. We enter Sagarmatha National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site– and walk to the village of Jorsalle from where we follow the river. We cross two swinging bridges – one suspended on a higher level above the other, which makes for a fantastic photo opportunity – and pass the village of Monjo. From there, we walk uphill for roughly three hours along beautiful valleys, picturesque villages and ever-smiling and friendly inhabitants, until we reach Namche Bazaar.

Namche is a popular place in the Khumbu region. It used to be a trading capital during ancient times for its residents and Tibetan people. Even today it is still the most bustling town in the Khumbu region, with many colorful shops, an internet café, a Danish bakery and lovely places to stay. If you are looking for souvenirs or trekking gear, you will find it here. Namche is also known as the Gateway to Everest, as it is the only way to get to Everest Base Camp. Overnight stay at a guesthouse in Namche (breakfast, lunch and dinner included).

Day 05: Acclimatization day in Namche; short trek – 4 hours

The acclimatization process in Namche Bazzar involves either a short trek or a more relaxing day roaming around in the town of Namche. According to the health experts, trekkers should always move around a little while relaxing, in order to acclimatize at this altitude. This is why we will take you on a short hike or you can walk around at your leisure in and around Namche. The atmosphere of fellow hikers in search of apple pie is hard to beat.

For the short day hike we can take you to the world’s highest placed hotel “The Everest View Hotel”. From there you have spectacular views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Lothse, Mt. AmaDablam, Mt. Kangtega, Mt. Thamserku, (Or the snow saddle, unique in its geographical setting as it resembles the saddle of a horse rider), as well as panoramic views of other snowcapped mountains. There will still be plenty of time to visit the colorful town of Namche in the afternoon and find that apple pie (Yes, we love it too!). Overnight stay at our guesthouse in Namche (breakfast, lunch and dinner included).

Day 06: Trek to Tengboche (3,880m) – 6 hours

We continue our journey towards Tengboche. Today, the trail goes uphill and downhill, and is therefore quite tiring. But the majestic views of Mt. Everest and other peaks of the Rolwaling range (Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Thamserku and Mt. AmaDablam) make more than up for it and will keep you going. You will be walking through sweet-smelling pine and vibrant rhododendron forests, crossing rolling hills and pastures with yak herders, all the way up to Tengboche.

This place is not just popular for the stunning views of surrounding mountains, but also for the artistic monastery built here. With a bit of luck you might even see Buddhist monks play football on the field next to the village Centre, or wake up early to see the sunrise over the monastery, the unrivalled backdrop of Mt. AmaDablam and the tip of Mt. Everest. Overnight stay at a guesthouse in Tengboche (breakfast, lunch and dinner included).

Day 07: Trek to Dingboche (4,450m) – 6 hours

After an amazing sunrise, you will have the chance to walk around and visit Tengboche Monastery. Note the beautiful wooden prayer wheels and the prayer flags flying the colors that represent the five Tibetan Buddhist elements: earth, wind, fire, water and consciousness. They believe is that the prayers and mantras written on the flags will be blown into the universe by the wind, in order to spread good will and compassion into all-pervading space.

We continue our Everest Base Camp Trek by slowly descending towards the village of Deboche. Once passed, you will walk through striking forests of rhododendron and conifers, and cross a bridge over the ImjaKhola to Pangboche. As we walk, we come across mani stones and prayer flags adorning the path. As we reach Dingboche, you will have a very close view of Mt. AmaDablam and it feels as if the mountain is towering over you from up close. Overnight stay at a guesthouse in Dingboche (breakfast, lunch and dinner included).

Day 08: Acclimatization day in Dingboche; hike to Nagarsan Hill (5,100m) – 4/5 hours

During an Everest Base Camp Trek, you are increasing your altitude. The air in the atmosphere gets thinner and thinner, which makes acclimatization a must. Therefore, you will be spending this day in and around Dingboche to adapt yourself to the elevation gain and prepare you for the journey ahead. Today, we will hike up to Nagarsan Hill at 5,100 meters; it also offers some of the most spectacular views of the mountains in the Everest region.

You will be aware of the thin air as you ascend. But once you arrive at the top, you’ll understand the physical importance of this beautiful hike and you will be rewarded with magnificent views of Island peak, Mt. AmaDablam, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Nuptse and many others. Light as a mountain goat, you will skip down to the valley floor, secure in the knowledge that you are now ready for the grand finale. Overnight stay at our guesthouse in Dingboche (breakfast, lunch and dinner included).

Day 09: Trek to Lobuche (4,910m) – 5 hours

Leaving Dingboche, we head towards Lobuche, our destination before for the most important 2 days. We will continue walking the valley floor towards Dugla and will be leaving the Khumbu glacier behind us. On the way to Lobuche, you’re passing the cemetery where climbers who lost their lives during their attempt to climb Mt. Everest are resting peacefully. Stand here for a few moments, quietly thinking of those who started their adventure at Everest Base Camp.

You can feel the air in the atmosphere getting thinner as you continue. At this critical point in the journey, the key is to go slow, so as not to exhaust yourself. At Lobuche, we will be blessed with splendid views of Mt. Pumori, Mt. Lingtren, Khumbutse and Mahalangur. As we cross the Khumbu glacier, the beautiful peak of Mt. Nuptse also comes into sight. Overnight stay at a guesthouse in Lobuche (breakfast, lunch and dinner included).

Day 10: Trek to Gorekshep & day EBC (5,364m) then back to Gorekshep (5,180m) – 8 hours

Leaving Lobuche, we will head towards Gorekshep with a view of the northern ridge of Everest, along with Mt. Pumori, Mt. Lingtern, Mt. Khumbutse, Mt. Nuptse, etc. As we walk down to ThangmaRiju, we are blessed with a 360 degree view of snow-clad mountains. After a steep climb up the Changri glacier, Kalapatthar comes into sight and we continue walking until we reach Gorekshep. Here we have a quick break to prepare for the 2 hour walk to Everest Base Camp.

Driven by adrenaline, you will pass glaciers and frozen rivers, a fairy tale world of snow and ice. The last hundred meters of rocky terrain will finally bring you to the prayer flags at Everest Base Camp. Looking up you will see the towering peaks rising up in front of you, and your eyes will keep wandering to take it all in. This is the place where the ultimate adventurer starts his climb to the top of the world.  Be proud of what you accomplished, for it is a spectacular moment indeed.

Day 11: Hike to Kalapatthar(5545m) for sunrise then trek to Dingboche (4450m) – 7/8 hours

Where Everest Base Camp rules in terms of accomplishment, Kalapatthar is the king of sunrises. If you are an enthusiastic photographer, this is the place for you! It’s a very early rise to enjoy a daybreak you have never seen before: a golden sun emerging behind white-capped mountains. Its glittering rays touching the pristine snowy peaks make Kalapatthar the best place for stunning photos of a sunrise over the mountains and its surrounding wild landscape.

It is an opportunity to view the chain of mountains in the reddish morning glow, with the mighty Mt. Everest clearly visible. This place will show you a picture of heavenly perfection, described by many authors in many ways. After beholding all this beauty, we descend to Digboche and stay overnight at a guesthouse (breakfast, lunch and dinner included).

After achieving our goal and experiencing the utmost beauty of the Himalayas from close, it’s time to retrace our steps. We return via the same path, enjoying the views of gorgeous mountains reaching up into the blue sky. Although the route back is the same, walking the trail in reverse will make it look different still. After all, the more you explore, the more you discover.

Arriving back at Namche will feel like coming home. You can now expertly talk about the beauty of the Everest region to other hikers still on their way up. Overnight stay at a guesthouse in Namche Bazaar (breakfast, lunch and dinner included).
