The Everest Region has many attractions with challenges for some adventure seekers who desire thrilling and challenging activities.

The region has much to offer in terms of the intermingling of the Tibetan and Nepali cultures and also the different lifestyles of the Highlanders.

The stark rugged terrain is so intermingled with the cultural ethos of the local Sherpa community that a trip to this region is a class by itself. Many envisage and relate this region with climbing and trekking.

Climbing Island Peak (6189m) is a challenging task. You even need to get acclimatized to the prevailing weather conditions before attempting. To get used to the area and its varied shades, we first trek through the Himalayan Khumbu.

The route to Kala Pathar is on the way to Everest Base Camp. On the way, we cross the famous Namche Bazaar village and the venerated monastic community of Tengboche. The Kala Patthar trek allows you to get engulfed by the warmth and hospitality of the Sherpa community. It is also a period of getting acclimatized before the trek to the renowned Island Peak. If the weather permits, then the team members can try to reach the Kala Patthar summit. It is located at an altitude of 5545 meters. You have the advantage of seeing and photographing the mighty Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse from here. You then head towards the Everest Base Camp.

Island Peak is also known as Imja Tse. It stands at 6,189 meters above sea level and is located in the picturesque Imja Valley in the Everest region. So, it is only a few miles away from Mt. Everest. It is one of the most highly sought-after peaks in the world. The trek to Island Peak also takes us through the countryside, where we are introduced to the centuries-old Nepalese and Tibetan cultures. The journey offers some of the most striking scenery in the Khumbu via the enchanting village of Dingboche. This village of stone charms our path to the mountain and is also filled with Buddhist shrines. The summit of Island Peak stands adjacent to the South Face of Lhotse, one of the world’s largest ice walls, and offers stunning views of beautiful Ama Dablam and Makalu.
