The itinerary presents an exhilarating opportunity to reach the summit of Island Peak (6189m), a challenging yet attainable achievement for determined hill walkers with basic climbing experience.

The journey commences with a brief flight to Lukla, followed by two days of straightforward trekking to Namche Bazaar. As you ascend, take the opportunity to explore the stunning valley, reaching the fourth and fifth lakes, and conquering nameless peaks for the most captivating views of Everest in the entire Khumbu Valley.
