EBC TREK WITH ISLAND PEAK CLIMBING
EBC TREK WITH ISLAND PEAK CLIMBING
Step back in time to where Hillary and Tenzing Norgay (Sherpa) prepared for their assault on the world’s tallest mountain. Let the adrenalin flow as you climb Island Peak (6189m).
The Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek with the ascent of Island Peak begins with a scenic birds-eye view over the soaring white Himalayan Mountains. You will land at Lukla then hit the trail and trek up the Dudh Kosi Valley surrounded by the massive Thamserku (6623m) and Kusum Kanguru (6367m). Kusum Kanguru, means "Three Snow-White Gods" in the Sherpa language, which refers to the triple summit of the mountain. Island Peak is also known in Tibetan as Imja Tse. Island Peak was aptly named by earlier Mt.Everest explorers due to it appearing as an island in a sea of ice.
Before heading to Everest Base Camp and then climbing of Island Peak you will have time to acclimatize at a lower altitude. The trail offers several excellent vantage points from where you can see Mt.Everest, such as Kala Patthar (meaning 'black rock' in Nepali).
The trail leads us through many villages and towns rich in Tibetan culture and traditions, such as Namche Bazaar where we take time out to acclimatize. We then head higher altitudes to Tengboche (3860m), Dingboche (4350 m), Nangkartshang Peak (5083 m), Lobuche (4910 m), Gorak Shep (5170 m/16,961ft), visit Everest Base Camp (5364m) and Kala Patthar (5545m) from where we have incredible views of Mt.Everest and other peaks. Next, we head to Kongma La Pass (5535m), Chhukung (4730m), and then start our journey to Island Peak base camp (5200m) and ultimately Island Peak summit (6189m). Prior to climbing the peak, you will have had ample time to get acclimatized beforehand. We then descend to Pangboche (3985m), Namche Bazaar (3440m), and back to Lukla (2800m) for our return flight to Kathmandu (1350m). Heading back to Kathmandu you will have a new appreciation of the vast Himalayan Ranges.
Before heading to the Himalayas we will explore the historical features in Kathmandu Valley.
Sherpa Expedition & Trekking have been in the tour business for over 40 years and has a reputation second to none. We continue to strive to make the adventure one that you will never forget.

Welcome to Kathmandu, a city full of vibrant markets, bustling streets, colorful temples and grand pagodas. Our guide will meet you at the airport and take you to our hotel. The remainder of the day you will have an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the shopping areas closest to your hotel and catch up on shopping for equipment. In the evening, our tour guide will give you a brief introduction and provide valuable information about the trek. In the evening you will meet the rest of the group at a welcome dinner at a local Nepali restaurant.
Day 2 : Explore Kathmandu & pre-trek briefing.
Today, we will spend the day sightseeing in Kathmandu Valley with our guide. We will visit Pashupatinath, which is regarded as the holiest Hindu temple in Nepal and where pilgrims worship Lord Shiva (situated on the banks of the holy Bagmati River), Bouddhanath, a Buddhist temple known as ‘Little Tibet’ and then on to Swayambhunath known as the Monkey Temple. From Swayambhunath we drive to Kathmandu’s famous Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, and located in front of the old royal palace. Upon arriving back at your hotel you may have time to do some last-minute shopping around Thamel – the tourist hub of Kathmandu.
Day 3 : Flight from kathmandu to Lukla (2804m/9199ft) & trek to Phakding (2610m) Duration: 4-5 hours.
After an early morning start you will be picked up at the hotel by our guide who will take you to the domestic terminal of Kathmandu airport. The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla takes around 35 minutes, time enough to take in the spectacular views of the Himalayas. After landing at Tenzing-Hilary airport you will meet your porter who will carry your luggage. You then begin your journey with a relatively easy trek passing a Kani (ceremonial gatehouse) before the tail descends then leads above Kyangma village with its large Gompa (monastery) and school. We then continue to Cheplung village where the trail passes through community forest within sight of the Dudh Koshi River. After crossing the suspension bridge you climb across the ridge to Ghat and then passes a school and complex of Mani walls, Chortens and prayer wheels. After a short walk from Ghat we reach Phakding.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner Included
Day 4 : Trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar (3440m) Duration: 5-6 hours.
After breakfast, the trek crosses several suspension bridges over the Dudh Kosi River before passing through Tok-Tok, Bhenkar, and Monjo and then arriving at Sagarmatha National Park entrance gate where you will be required to buy a permit. After following the river bed for a few hours and after the last Hillary suspension bridge, there is a steep uphill trek to Namche Bazaar. Namche has a good selection of restaurants, a cyber café, pubs, post office, ATM, and banks.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included
Day 5 : Acclimatization at Namche Bazaar.
This idyllic town is an ideal place for acclimatization. Health specialists recommend we spend the day being active, rather than sitting idle. From Namche it is possible to take a short hike to Everest View Resort, Thame, visit Khunde or relax and explore Namche Bazaar. Namche Bazaar is the main center of the Everest (Khumbu) region and has government offices, ATMs, internet cafes, shops, restaurants, bakery, and a colorful market each Friday evening and Saturday. A short trek of only a hundred metres will help us to properly acclimatize. Our guides will also take us to the Tourist Visitor Center near the headquarters of the Sagarmatha National Park where we can observe an assortment of relics related to the first mountaineers to climb Everest, Sherpa culture and discover the varied plant and animal life of the Everest region.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included
Day 6 : Trek from Namche Bazaar to Tengboche (3870m) Duration: 5-6 hours.
The trek continues along the rapid flowing glacial waters of the Dudh Kosi with magnificent views of the mountains (Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Taboche peak, Amadablam. You eventually reach an altitude of 3,800 meters at Tengboche. At the Tengboche monastery are unbelievably ornate wall hangings, a 20-foot sculpture of various poses of the Buddha and musical instruments and robes of the Lamas. Our group will be taken to observe a prayer ceremony, either in the evening or in the morning, depending on how the trekking goes this day.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included
Day 7 : Trek from Tengboche to Dingboche (4460m) Duration: 4-5 hours.
The trek from Tengboche to Dingboche is only a short distance which we will most likely complete in the afternoon. The last hill into Dingboche, and at this high altitude, is challenging!. The trail then heads to the village of Somare (4020m) and then to Orsho, both of which have lodged. Later the trail divides, with the left trail heading up to Pheriche before crossing a suspension bridge and a steep climb to the village of Dingboche with many good guesthouses.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 8 : Acclimatization at Dingboche & trek to Nangkartshang Peak (5083m) Duration: 4-5 hours.
Health specialists recommend we spend the day being active, rather than sitting idle. To this end we will trek for three to four hours to Nangkartshang Peak just above Dingboche with excellent views over the surrounding mountains, especially Ama Dablam (6812m). Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 9 : Trek from Dingboche to Lobuche (4900m) Duration: 5-6 hours.
After breakfast, our trek starts with an easy walk towards Thukla before crossing the steep terminal moraine of the Khumbu Glacier and then passing through the boulder-strewn slopes as we ascend Chupki Lhara where we find clusters of stones with prayer flags placed by Sherpas as a memorial to Scott Fischer (American mountaineer) and 10-time Everest climber Babu Chiri Sherpa (Nepalese Sherpa mountain guide) who perished on a mission to climb Mt. Everest. The path then continues to the Khumbu Glacier moraine and before us are many beautiful mountain peaks - Khumbutse, Lingtren, and Mahalangur Himal. We stay overnight in Lobuche.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included
Day 10 : Trek from Lobuche to Gorakshep (5180m) & trek to EBC (5364m) & return to Gorakshep (5,180m) Duration: 6-7 hours.
We commence our six to seven-hour trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp through the vast Gorak-Shep. Along the trail, we pass the Indian army mountaineers' memorials. At this point the path can be confusing, so following your guide is important. The thin air at this high altitude can be exhausting. We traverse rocky dunes, moraine, and streams before reaching the Mt. Everest Base Camp. From Everest Base Camp you will see some of the world’s highest peaks, in stark contrast to the gray surroundings - especially in the spring. Before us are Khumbutse, Nuptse, and Pumori. We will then head back to Gorak Shep.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included
Day 11 : Trek from Gorakshep to Kalapathar (5550m) at sunrise & back to Lobuche (4940m) Duration: 6-7 hours.
At around 4 a.m. in the pre-dawn darkness and cold temperatures (-10 to -14 C) we begin our trek. It is common for there to be cold winds at this altitude. Towering peaks, such as Khumbutse, Lingtren, and Changtse loom before us to the east as Everest comes into view. Not until we reach Kala Patthar (5550m) do we get a 360 degree up-close and bird’s eye view of Mount Everest. After taking in the panoramic views and madly clicking cameras we will return back to Lobuche for a good night's rest.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included
Day 12 : Trek from Lobuche to Kongma La Pass (5535m) to Chhukung (4730m) Duration: 6-7 hours.
An early start sees us trekking for six to seven hours via the Khumbu Glacier to Kongma La Base Camp (5000m). This is the most difficult day of our trek. In the pass there are prayer flags that show the route. We then slowly descend to Imja Khola Valley and then down to the small village of Chhukung where we will go over our equipment before our ascent of Island Peak. Tonight we will stay at Chhukung. Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 13 : Trek from Chhukung to Island Peak base camp (5200m) Duration: 4-5 hours.
We have a three to four hour steep ascent to Island Peak Base Camp, crossing the moraine below Lhotse Glacier and then follow a small river. We cross over the Imja and Lhotse glacier moraines until we come out at a wide valley in the south-west of Island Peak. Tonight we stay at Island Peak Base Camp. Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 14 : Pre-climb training at Island Peak Base Camp (5200m)
Today your guides will instruct you on various climbing techniques and use of an ice ax, climbing boot crampons, harnesses, ascenders, and other equipment. Your guide will show you how to use the ropes during the ascent and descent. This training is not too technical but is necessary to ensure your safety and wellbeing. After some basic training, you will feel more confident and capable of getting to the summit. In order to help you further acclimatize to this altitude, we may trek to High Camp. The rest of the day we can rest and prepare for tomorrow’s climb. We will stay overnight at the base camp. Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 15 : Trek to Island Peak Base Camp & to Island Peak summit (6189m) & return to Base Camp; Duration: 8-9 hours.
This is the day you have been waiting for and we have to wake up around midnight to 1 am to complete 10 to 12 hours climbing. The goal is to reach the summit before lunchtime for there is a likelihood of strong winds in the afternoon. Initially we head up beyond Base Camp along a steep hillside and then come to a point where we cross boulders and the slope becomes narrower. The trail then crosses a rather steep gully and from here we follow the ridgeline to the base of the glacier that reaches all the way to the summit. A sharp incline on a snowy slope takes us to the summit. Your guides will very likely attach ropes at this point – fixed and person to person. The rope will stretch to about 350 meters depending on the depth of snow and if there are any crevices. In past climbs there have been several crevices where in order to cross them we have used ladders. Once at the summit we can sit back and soak up some of the most mind-boggling views you will ever see. This is truly an exhilarating moment and time to snap photos. We will then descend back to Island Peak Base Camp where we can celebrate on our successful climb of Island Peak.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 16 : Trek from Island Peak Base Camp to Pangboche (3985m) Duration: 5-6 hours.
Today will be a much easier trek as we descend for five to six hours to less energy-sapping lower altitudes. We will follow the same trail down through the wide valley of the Khumbu Khola (river) and along the way pass several Sherpa villages, Orsho and Shomare. Depending on weather and time we may follow a different route and visit the Gompa at Upper Pangboche, supposedly the oldest in the Khumbu region, or head directly to the picturesque Pangboche Village, surrounded by enormous mountain peaks, such as Everest in the north, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Khangtega in the east, the Kongde Range in the south and looking down to the Imja Tse River below. Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 17 : Trek from Pangboche to Namche Bazaar (3440m) Duration: 5-6 hours.
From Pangboche we retrace our steps descending to the Imja Khola and then up through the rhododendron forest to Tengboche monasteries. For some, this will be an opportunity to see the nuns perform their religious ceremonies at the Tengboche Monastery. After lunch at Tengboche, we continue our trek across the hillside blanketed by colorful rhododendron and juniper trees. After crossing the bridge over the (milky river) Dudh Koshi River our trail continues through the Dudh Koshi gorge descending rapidly through the pine forests before reaching Sansa. Along the way we keep our eyes peeled for wildlife, such as (Himalaya Thar) mountain goats, snow leopards, and colorful pheasants while passing through the forest. After passing a Chorten we reach the Army camp at Namche Bazaar where we stay overnight.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included
Day 18 : Trek from Namche Bazaar to Lukla (2804m) Duration: 6-7 hours.
This is our final day of trekking before returning to our starting point at Lukla. This is a time to reflect on the unforgettable memories of our trek as a group and our achieving our individual goals. A free afternoon allows you time to relax and enjoy a hot shower! In the evening we will celebrate with a few drinks and dance.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 19 : Fly from Lukla back to Kathmandu (1350m) Duration: 30 minutes flight.

This evening is our farewell dinner at a traditional Nepali restaurant along with a traditional cultural dance show.

GOOD TO KNOW
Insurance
It is obligatory to possess smart travel insurance or emergency evacuation insurance that covers evacuation from high altitudes. It is advisable that you have cancellation insurance - just in case of an accident or for some reason, due to unforeseen circumstances, the trip is canceled.
Fitness and Experiences
For your personal safety and success, we recommend physical activities like running, swimming and some smaller climbs to lower peaks which incorporate climbs that involve the use of crampons. Be prepared for extreme exposure and steep drop-offs and be capable of carrying around 30lbs/15 kilos. If possible, get some experience in technical rock and mountaineering climbing to prepare for your trek and climb to Island Peak. Be familiar with using other climbing equipment, such as jumar ascenders, crampons, and ropes.
Food
Trekking at altitude requires a lot of energy. We recommend you bring your own healthy snack foods to snack on along the trek.
Accommodation
In Kathmandu, you will stay at deluxe hotels and while on the trek your accommodation is in native lodges/guesthouses. At base camp your accommodation is in tented camps. All accommodation is based on a twin share basis.
Emergency Rescue
In case of any high hypoxia problems, it is recommended as a primary precaution to return to a lower altitude. If the problem persists you will need to be evacuated if necessary by helicopter rescue and jeep.
Weather Forecast
During the climb, your guide will have access to current weather conditions.
