The Island peak climbing itinerary has proper and gradual acclimatization at suitable intervals. The 19-day journey begins from and comes to a conclusion at one of the most famous airstrips in the world, the Lukla Airport in the Everest Region. Island Peak climbing with Everest Base Camp Trek is a fantastic experience in the Himalayas of Nepal. It is designed for energetic and physically fit trekkers with little or no experience in mountain expedition

Island Peak is perhaps the best (and only) opportunity for advanced beginner/intermediate climbers to take on a challenging glacier climb above 20,000 in the heart of the Everest Himalayas.
