Island Peak Climbing with EBC
Trip Highlights
Island Peak climbing combined with the Everest Base Camp trek is a challenging yet achievable adventure, especially for fit beginners with strong determination. The trek itself involves long days of hiking at high altitudes, gradually ascending from Lukla to Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) and Kala Patthar (5,545 m), which helps with acclimatization before the climb. While the trekking portion is demanding due to elevation gain, rough terrain, and cold weather, it does not require technical skills.
The Island Peak climb (6,189 m) is graded Alpine PD+, meaning it includes a physically demanding glacier climb, use of crampons, fixed ropes, ice axe, and some steep snow and ice sections. The final headwall is the most technical part, with a 60–70° slope requiring the use of ropes. However, with proper pre-climb training at base camp and guidance from experienced Sherpa guides, climbers with basic fitness and mental resilience can complete the climb safely and successfully.
Island Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp trek is one of the best trekking and climbing combinations in Nepal for adventurous trekkers. This 19-day journey offers the perfect mix of trekking through the famous Everest Base Camp trail and an exciting climb to Island Peak (6,189 m/20,305 ft), a popular trekking peak for beginners and aspiring mountaineers. The trek helps you acclimatize gradually while experiencing the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Khumbu region.
The route begins with a scenic flight to Lukla and passes through iconic Sherpa villages like Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Chhukung. Along the way, you’ll explore Everest Base Camp and hike up Kala Patthar for stunning panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. The additional acclimatization hikes to Everest View Hotel and Nagarjuna Hill ensure your body is well-prepared for the high-altitude climb ahead.
After the Everest Base Camp trek, the focus shifts to climbing Island Peak. You’ll receive pre-climb training at base camp, learning how to use crampons, ice axes, and ropes. With the guidance of experienced Sherpa climbers, you’ll make a summit push during the early morning hours, navigating glaciers and snow slopes. Reaching the top of Island Peak is a thrilling achievement that rewards you with unforgettable views and a true sense of accomplishment in the heart of the Himalayas.
Welcome to Nepal!
Upon arrival at the airport, our friendly team will greet you with a warm smile and escort you to your hotel. After settling in, take some time to relax or explore the nearby area.
In the evening, enjoy a traditional welcome dinner with fellow travelers and our team — a great introduction to Nepalese culture and cuisine.
If you wish, take a short walk through Thamel’s lively streets before heading back to your hotel for a good night’s rest before your adventure begins.
During your stay in Kathmandu, you can choose to enjoy a guided sightseeing tour of the Kathmandu Valley or take the day at your own pace. The sightseeing option includes visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, and the historic Durbar Squares of Kathmandu or Patan. These sites provide a comprehensive exploration of Nepal’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage.
Alternatively, you may use this day for leisure and final preparations for your Island Peak climbing permit. Our team will assist with all necessary documentation, gear checks, and briefings to ensure everything is in order before you head to the mountains. This day also provides a great opportunity to rest and acclimate before your Himalayan adventure begins.
Early in the morning, you’ll wake up for a hearty breakfast before heading to the airport for your scenic flight to Lukla (2,846 m/9,337 ft), the gateway to the Everest region. The 30–35 minute flight offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas as you land at one of the world’s most thrilling mountain airstrips. Upon arrival, you’ll meet the rest of the trekking crew, make final gear checks, and begin your trek.
The trek to Phakding (2,610 m/8,563 ft) is a gentle and pleasant walk that takes around 3–4 hours. The trail descends through lush forests, traditional Sherpa villages, and across suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River. Along the way, you’ll catch glimpses of distant peaks and experience your first taste of mountain culture. Once in Phakding, you’ll check into your teahouse, rest, and enjoy a warm meal surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the Khumbu region.
After an early morning wake-up in Phakding, you’ll enjoy a hearty breakfast to fuel up for the day’s trek. The trail begins by following the Dudh Koshi River, crossing several suspension bridges, including the iconic Hillary Suspension Bridge. You’ll pass through beautiful pine forests, charming villages like Monjo, and the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park, where your permits will be checked.
As the trail gradually ascends, the final stretch to Namche Bazaar involves a steep climb, but the reward is well worth it. Upon reaching Namche (3,440 m/11,290 ft), you’ll be greeted with your first views of Mount Everest and the bustling energy of this famous Sherpa town. Take time to rest, explore the lively markets, or sip tea at a local café as you prepare for the days ahead.
Acclimatization in Namche Bazaar is a vital part of your Everest region adventure. After waking up early and enjoying a hearty breakfast, you’ll begin a short but rewarding hike to help your body adjust to the altitude. One popular acclimatization hike is to the Everest View Hotel (3,880 m), offering stunning views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and other Himalayan peaks. This gradual ascent allows your body to adapt while enjoying panoramic mountain scenery and exploring local Sherpa settlements like Khumjung village.
After the hike, return to Namche Bazaar for lunch and spend the rest of the day exploring the vibrant mountain town. You can visit the Sherpa Museum, local markets, or simply relax at a café with mountain views. Staying active during the day and resting well at night helps support proper acclimatization as you prepare to trek further into higher elevations.
Wake up early in the morning to enjoy a hearty breakfast before setting off on your trek from Namche Bazaar to Tengboche Monastery. The trail gently ascends through rhododendron and pine forests, offering glimpses of the majestic Everest and other towering peaks. Along the way, you’ll pass through charming Sherpa villages, experiencing the local culture and hospitality firsthand.
As you approach Tengboche, the famous monastery comes into view, perched on a hilltop with stunning panoramic mountain views. This spiritual center of the Khumbu region offers a peaceful atmosphere and insight into Buddhist traditions. Spend some time exploring the monastery and its surroundings before settling in for the night in this tranquil mountain village.
We start the day early with a refreshing wake-up call followed by a hearty breakfast to fuel us for the trek ahead. Leaving the charming village of Tengboche, we follow a scenic trail that winds through rhododendron forests and offers spectacular views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The crisp mountain air and peaceful surroundings make the trek both invigorating and inspiring.
As we continue, the landscape gradually changes, becoming more alpine and rugged. The trail gently ascends alongside the Imja Khola river, passing small villages and prayer wheels. Upon reaching Dingboche at 4,410 meters (14,470 feet), trekkers can rest and acclimatize while enjoying stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. This stop is essential for preparing the body for higher altitudes in the coming days.
In Dingboche, acclimatization is key to help your body adjust to the high altitude before continuing higher. After waking up and enjoying a hearty breakfast to fuel your day, you’ll begin a gentle hike to Nagarjuna Hill, which sits at about 5,100 meters (16,732 feet). This hike is designed to gradually expose your body to thinner air, reducing the risk of altitude sickness.
The walk up Nagarjuna Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding peaks, including Ama Dablam and Lhotse. The trail is steady but manageable, allowing you to move at your own pace while taking in the stunning Himalayan landscape. Spending time at this higher elevation before descending back to Dingboche helps your body get used to the altitude.
After reaching the summit and enjoying the spectacular views, you will return to Dingboche for a restful afternoon. This day of acclimatization is important not only for your safety but also to ensure you have the energy and strength for the tougher days ahead on your trek.
From Dingboche, the day begins early with a refreshing wake-up followed by a hearty breakfast to fuel the challenging trek ahead. As you set off, the trail gradually ascends through a rocky landscape dotted with prayer flags and stunning views of the towering peaks around. The air is crisp and thin, so steady pacing and short breaks are important to help your body adjust to the increasing altitude.
The trek from Dingboche to Lobuche takes you higher into the Himalayas, reaching an elevation of 4,940 meters (16,210 feet). Along the way, you’ll pass through small settlements and stop for rest, soaking in breathtaking panoramas of glaciers and mountain ranges. The landscape becomes more rugged and dramatic as you approach Lobuche, a small cluster of lodges where you will rest and prepare for the next stage of your journey. This day is a key part of acclimatization, so it’s important to listen to your body and stay hydrated throughout the trek.
We start the day early with a wake-up call and a hearty breakfast to prepare for the challenging trek ahead. From our lodge, we set off towards Everest Base Camp, ascending through rocky trails and stunning alpine scenery. Along the way, we will witness breathtaking views of towering peaks like Nuptse and Lhotse, feeling the crisp mountain air as we approach the legendary base camp at 5,364 meters (17,598 feet).
After spending some time at Everest Base Camp, soaking in the atmosphere and capturing unforgettable photos, we begin our trek back to Gorak Shep at 5,164 meters (16,942 feet). This short descent offers a chance to relax and reflect on the incredible journey we have just completed, surrounded by some of the highest mountains in the world. Once back at Gorak Shep, we rest and prepare for the next day’s adventure.
Early in the morning, you’ll wake up in Gorakshep and begin the hike to Kala Patthar (5,644 m/18,519 ft), one of the most iconic viewpoints in the Everest region. The trail is steep and challenging, especially in the cold pre-dawn hours, but the reward is beyond imagination. As the sun rises, the entire Everest massif glows in golden hues, offering unforgettable panoramic views of Mount Everest, Nuptse, Pumori, Lhotse, and the surrounding giants. It’s a magical moment that captures the spirit of the Himalayas.
After spending some time soaking in the views and taking photos, you’ll carefully descend back to Gorakshep. A warm and well-deserved breakfast awaits you there, helping to recharge after the early start and high-altitude exertion. Shortly after, the trek continues down the trail, retracing your steps past Lobuche and Dughla, before finally arriving at Dingboche (4,410 m/14,470 ft). The descent is easier on the lungs, and the increasing oxygen level as you go lower makes the walk more comfortable.
As you reach Dingboche by late afternoon, you’ll notice a dramatic change in the landscape—green fields, stone walls, and a calmer atmosphere. This scenic village offers a perfect place to rest, reflect on the achievements so far, and prepare for the next phase of the journey toward Island Peak Base Camp.
Early in the morning, you’ll wake up to crisp mountain air and enjoy a warm breakfast in Dingboche before beginning your trek to Chhukung. The trail gradually ascends through alpine landscapes, with fewer trees and more rugged terrain as you climb higher into the Imja Valley. Along the way, you’ll witness striking views of Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and the towering south face of Nuptse, creating a dramatic backdrop to your journey.
This section of the trek is relatively short but important for acclimatization. The hike takes around 3 to 4 hours, allowing your body to adjust to higher altitudes while still covering new ground. As you walk through scattered stone-walled fields and past grazing yaks, the scenery becomes increasingly remote and breathtaking. Upon reaching Chhukung, a small settlement nestled beneath icy peaks, you’ll have time to rest, rehydrate, and prepare for upcoming acclimatization hikes and your Island Peak adventure.
The afternoon can be used for an optional acclimatization hike to Chhukung Ri (5,546 m) for those feeling strong. This steep climb offers panoramic views of the entire Imja Valley and is excellent preparation for the higher altitudes ahead. Whether you hike higher or rest in Chhukung, this day plays a crucial role in ensuring you are ready for the challenges of Island Peak and the continued journey through the Khumbu region.
Early in the morning, we wake up to crisp mountain air and begin our day with a warm breakfast in Chhukung. After packing our gear and receiving a short briefing from our guide, we start the scenic trek toward Island Peak Base Camp. The trail gently ascends through glacial moraines and rocky terrain, offering panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayan giants like Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Baruntse. The walk is gradual but steady, allowing us to enjoy the dramatic landscape and conserve energy for the climb ahead.
After 3 to 4 hours of trekking, we reach Island Peak Base Camp at 5,200 meters, where we are greeted by our support team and set up our tents near the foot of the mountain. The afternoon is spent resting and organizing climbing equipment, followed by a short pre-climb orientation. As the sun sets behind the towering peaks, we enjoy an early dinner and prepare for the summit attempt the next morning. The calm atmosphere at base camp offers a final moment of peace before the thrilling ascent begins.
The summit day begins early, around 2:00 AM, as climbers wake up in the dark and gear up for the final push. After a light breakfast at Island Peak Base Camp, the ascent starts with a rocky trail that gradually leads to the glacier. Using headlamps, climbers navigate the steep terrain, crossing crevasses with the help of fixed ropes set by our expert guides. The most challenging section is the final ice headwall, rising at a 60–70° angle just below the summit. This section demands physical strength, technical skill, and mental determination. Upon reaching the summit at 6,189 meters, climbers are rewarded with stunning 360-degree views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and surrounding peaks—a truly unforgettable experience.
After a short time at the summit for photos and celebration, the descent begins carefully down the same route. By late morning or early afternoon, climbers return to Base Camp for a well-earned rest and breakfast. After packing up, the team continues the descent to Chhukung, where a warm meal and comfortable rest await. This long but rewarding day marks the successful completion of the Island Peak climb, leaving you with a deep sense of achievement and lifelong memories.
After the rewarding experience of reaching Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar, the journey back begins with a scenic descent to Tengboche, a picturesque village nestled in the heart of the Khumbu region. The trail leads past Pheriche or Dingboche, retracing your steps through rugged terrain and alpine landscapes, with the towering peaks of Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and Everest offering stunning views throughout the trek. As you descend to lower altitudes, the air becomes richer in oxygen, making the walk more comfortable and enjoyable.
Tengboche is home to the famous Tengboche Monastery, the largest and most important monastery in the Everest region. Arriving here provides a sense of peace and reflection after the high-altitude adventure. You can explore the monastery, witness prayer ceremonies if timing allows, and take in the serene environment surrounded by rhododendron forests and panoramic mountain views. It’s the perfect place to relax, recharge, and absorb the spiritual energy of the Himalayas before continuing your descent.
The trek to Namche Bazaar begins after crossing suspension bridges and walking through scenic pine forests alongside the Dudh Koshi River. The trail passes through charming Sherpa villages like Monjo and Jorsalle, entering the Sagarmatha National Park. As you ascend gradually, the final stretch to Namche involves a steep climb that rewards trekkers with their first glimpse of Mount Everest and other surrounding peaks like Thamserku and Kusum Kanguru on a clear day.
Namche Bazaar, often called the “Gateway to Everest,” is the bustling trade and cultural hub of the Khumbu region. This picturesque town is nestled in a natural amphitheater surrounded by towering mountains. Here, trekkers can explore local bakeries, cafes, museums, and gear shops while taking in the spectacular views. Namche is also an ideal place for acclimatization, with optional hikes to nearby viewpoints like Everest View Hotel or Khunde and Khumjung villages to help adapt to the increasing altitude.
We start our day early with a refreshing wake-up and a hearty breakfast at Namche Bazaar. The morning air is crisp, and the vibrant village slowly comes to life as we prepare for the trek. With our backpacks ready, we begin the descent from Namche Bazaar, enjoying the beautiful views of the Dudh Koshi River valley below.
The trail from Namche to Lukla is mostly downhill, which makes the walking easier and more comfortable. Along the way, we pass through charming Sherpa villages, suspension bridges, and lush forests, soaking in the peaceful Himalayan atmosphere. The path is well-marked and offers plenty of spots to rest and take photos.
As we approach Lukla, the bustling gateway to the Everest region, the excitement builds. Lukla’s small airstrip is always busy with trekkers arriving and departing, marking the end of our trek. Once we reach Lukla, we can relax and celebrate completing this incredible journey through the heart of the Himalayas
After waking up early in Lukla, we’ll enjoy a warm breakfast at the teahouse while soaking in the final views of the Himalayan landscape. This morning is often filled with mixed emotions — joy from completing the trek and a bit of sadness to leave the mountains behind.
We’ll then head to the small Lukla airport for our scenic flight back to Kathmandu. The short flight, lasting around 30–35 minutes, offers one last chance to admire the snowcapped peaks from the air. It’s important to reach the airport on time, as mountain weather can sometimes cause delays.
With the trek behind us and Kathmandu ahead, the journey transitions from high mountain trails to the buzz of the city. Once in the capital, you’ll have time to rest, reflect, and maybe even celebrate the adventure.
