Everest Three Passes Trek with Island Peak:-
Go on a special adventure with Island Peak trekking and climbing, which takes you deep into the Khumbu Valley and to Everest Base Camp (5,357m/17,575ft). Island Peak (6,189m/20,305ft) is one of the main climbing mountains in the Everest area. It has a big and icy west face that comes from the Lhotse Glacier. The Island Peak climbing route is planned very well, with proper and slow altitude adjustments at the right times. Before climbing the peak, you also go to one of the most famous trekking places in the world — Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar — to get amazing views of Mt. Everest and other tall mountains. The trip starts and ends at Lukla Airport, one of the most famous airstrips in the world, in the Everest region.
Island Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp Trek is for adventurous people who are strong and active and want to have both trekking and climbing experiences in one trip.
This is a trip that really focuses on high altitude in the Himalayas of Nepal, especially in the Khumbu region.
You cross the highest mountain passes, including:
1) Kongma La Pass (5,535m/18,159ft) – the highest
2) Cho La Pass (5,420m/17,782ft)
3) Renjo La Pass (5,340m/17,520ft)
Then you reach the base of the mighty Everest, go up to Kala Patthar.
You escape the noise and pollution and go into the quiet and untouched Nangpa La Valley, visit the Sherpa village of Marlung, and then the monastery village. This is simply a great experience in one of the most amazing mountain areas in the world.
