Highlights

Everest Base Camp Trek with Island Peak Climbing is one of the most adventurous journeys for travel enthusiasts. Every year thousands of climbers visit this region to go on this trip to witness astounding views of snow-capped mountains and incredible scenery. You will climb Island Peak, which is just over Everest Base Camp. The trail includes few-snow climbing, but there will not be any problem reaching the summit. Island Peak is higher than Kilimanjaro, therefore, you will also take acclimatization before heading further. Along with this, you will also get to experience the traditions, culture, and lifestyle of the Sherpa people. The trek will take you to the north side of Nepal where you will see numerous peaks above 8000 meters. The prominent views of Himalayan mountains like Mt. Everest (8,848 m), Mt.
