Combine the Everest Base Camp trek with an ascent of Island Peak (Imja Tse, 6,165 m), the perfect first Himalayan summit.
Island Peak rises from the Chhukung valley like an island in a sea of ice. Its glaciated summit ridge offers a real mountaineering experience without extreme technical difficulty, making it ideal for climbers new to the Himalaya.
The trip begins with the Everest Base Camp trek for excellent acclimatisation, followed by training and a guided summit attempt with fixed ropes on the final headwall.
