Overview And Highlights

Trip Highlights

  • Trek to Everest Base Camp by foot.

  • From the Kala Patthar, or Everest, viewpoint, a panoramic view

  • Get to know the Kongma La Pass.

  • The most popular trekking peak is Island Peak, which is 6,189 meters high.

  • Take in the sights of Imja Lake, a small glacial lake at Island Peak's base.

  • a tent for the night at Island Peak Base Camp.

  • Get some climbing experience in the Himalayas.


Island Peak is a popular trekking and climbing destination. In fact, it has been climbed by more than 30,000 people. Although a little less difficult than its neighboring Aconcagua, it is not without its risks. Some of the more feared pitfalls include the potential for avalanches, blizzards, and harsh weather.

For anyone looking to conquer the summit of Island Peak, it's important to be well prepared. There are many variables involved, including your climbing experience, skills, and altitude. Having a thorough understanding of acclimatization and safety procedures will help you get the most out of your climb.

The best time to go to Island Peak is in the autumn. This is when the temperatures are a little cooler, and the sky is clear. Additionally, it is the season for colorful blooming rhododendrons.

While you may not have a climbing permit, it is possible to take a guided climb. To participate, you will need a license from the Nepal Ministry of Tourism. Also, you will need to pay $300 per person. You should also have an appropriate climbing experience, including some ice and snow climbing.

The best time to climb Island Peak is mid-September through the end of the season. You can also go in November. However, if you do, expect heavy snowfall. Since you will be walking on glaciers and moving on icy and snowy terrain, it is important to be aware of the hazards that can lurk in the mountains.

  • Sun hat

Sunscreen and a hat will protect you from  UV rays at altitude or anywhere else

  •  Camera and Phone

Don’t forget your camera  and chargers, batteries and correct plug for Nepal.

Flashlights are essential while trekking.  Electricity may be unreliable at some  teahouses. You may also need to hike early in the morning or late evening. Better to carry a flashlight with extra batteries.

Water bottle and Water purifier are the most essential things that you need during trekking.  Drinking water will need to be purified to make it drinkable.

A light weight poncho is useful for  rain showers  while on trek.

Trekking Poles

Trekking poles, one or two depending on the terrain and how much support you might need, are very useful  for assistance with walking rhythm and stability on rough terrain.  They are essential equipment which  you must carry during trekking.

  • Sun glasses

Wraparound sunglasses offer the broadest protection against UV damage because they block more of the light that hits your eyes from the sides. Sunglasses with large lenses and wide temples provide the next-best protection.

A down jacket or puffer jacket is a quilted, padded jacket filled with down feathers (usually duck or goose down).

During trekking there may be some rain as well as snowfall, so to be protected from cold and keep your body warm you need a down jacket.

A fleece sweater, or just a fleece, is a lightweight casual sweater made of synthetic polyester wool such as polar fleece.  It will provide thermal insulation but is not usually weatherproof, so wind and rain will not be effectively kept out.  For trekking during the daytime it is fine. Long underwaer and track pants for night wear and under trek pants if cold during the day.

  • Several pairs of woollen trekking socks

While trekking you need long some good quality woollen hiking socks which provide warmth as well as comfort. We recommend you to buy some extra pairs of woollen socks for your journey.
