For trekkers ready to step into mountaineering. This itinerary follows the standard Everest Base Camp route, then continues to Chhukung and a guided summit attempt on Island Peak (Imja Tse, 6,189 m) — Nepal's most accessible 6,000-metre peak.
Why this trek
- EBC trek + a real Himalayan summit in 16 days.
- Island Peak requires basic crampon and rope skills — we run a fixed-rope training day at Base Camp before the summit push.
- Acclimatization is automatic: by the time you turn toward Island Peak you've already spent two weeks above 4,000 m.
- Climbing permit, NMA peak fee, and technical guide included.
Requirements
Strong fitness and prior multi-day trekking experience. No previous climbing required, but you'll be using an ice axe and front-point crampons for the summit ridge. We provide all technical gear.
