-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Day 06: Trek to Khumjung, 3790m Khumjung is a very old Sherpa village, with two monasteries, where Sir Edmund Hillary, who was the first to climb of Mount Everest in 1953 with Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, built a school. (He also built a spital 30 minutes away in the village of Kunde.) Overnight stay at guesthouse. . Included Meals (B L D)

Day 07: Trek to Dole, 4200m Today as we trek, Ama Dablam, 6812m, one of the most beautiful peaks of the world will be facing us. The trail follows the hillside of Khumbila, and reaches our first pass, Mon La, from where the trail descends steeply to Phortse Drangka village. We leave the Everest trail and branch off to follow the Gokyo Valley along the tree-line until we reach the small mountain settlement of Dole. Overnight stay at guesthouse . Included Meals (B L D)

first two hours we have a steep climb up to yak pastures, which we call the Chola High Camp, though there aren’t any

houses there, rather you will see Buddhist prayers flags blowing in the wind. The next 1.5 hours is not so steep, but

because of loose stones and uneven ground, we recommend that you use walking sticks, be careful and take the

advice of our guide. The ascent to the snowy Cho La pass is very steep and it will take about 2 hours. From the pass,

there is a superb view of Dzonglha Valley and its lake as well as the impressive North face of Jobo Lhaptshan,

6300m. The descent to Dzonglha, on the Cho La glacier is an endurance test. Overnight stay at guesthouse. Included

Pumori, we will reach Lobuche, 4910m, the last stop before your climb to the base camp of Island Peak the next day.

and the turns East, following the valley along the moraine from the Lhotse glacier. We continue a short yet pleasant

walk along the river side which leads to Big-Rock. From this point a 40 minute climb will take us to Island Peak Base

Camp. We set up tents at base camp for eating and sleeping. Included Meals (B L D)

Day 18: Acclimatization Day- Basic Training Ascend to 5600m and return to Base Camp Today, it is a very

important day to acclimatize. After breakfast, we head up the steep hillside towards the Island Peak High


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Camp,5600m. At the beginning, the path is sandy but soon it turns rocky, before becoming boulder strewn. The slope

narrows as you climb up the hill, entering a steep rock channel. We return to Island Peak Base Camp for the night.

axes, climbing boots and crampons, harnesses, ascenders and on how to go up and down using ropes. Included Meals (B L D)

Day 19: Base Camp to Summit 6189m and descent to Chhukung We have to start early in the morning to climb

through the rock channel. Although it is not difficult, there are many short rock steps to be crossed before you come

across the other side of the channel. Then the trail leads to the ridgeline where you traverse the snout of the summit

glacier. You will need to rope up for the glacier as it contains several crevasses, which leads with little difficulty, to a

100m snow and ice slope (40-45Â°) on which the guides will fix a rope. From the top of this slope, 3 rope lengths

along a sharp summit ridge will take you to the top. After enjoying the summit view, you will descend all the way to

Chhukung, 4710m. Overnight stay at guest house. Included Meals (B L D)

Day 20 Reserve Day (in case of unfavorable weather) Since we cannot guarantee favorable weather for the

scheduled summit day, we have allowed an extra day in the schedule. If we are unable to summit the Island Peak on

due to bad weather or some other reason, such as someone in the group having acclimatization problems, it is useful

to have an extra day. If the trip goes smoothly, and we do not need this spare day, we will continue our return journey

to Lukla. Included Meals (B L D)

Day 21: Trek to Namche, 3441m gradually, we trek down to Dingboche and again pass through the Pangboche

village, the same trail we used on the way up. The trail leads down to a river. After crossing the river, we walk for an

hour up through the forest and reach Tengbuche after continuously to Namche. Overnight Lodge Included Meals (B L D)

Day 22: Trek to Lukla Boosted by all our new red blood cells, we rush down the footpath toward Sagarmatha

National Park gate, in Jorsale. Later, Lukla's footpath leads us back to the first villages we saw two weeks ago:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Gumila, Phakdingma, and Choplung. The high peaks disappear behind the hills. In Lukla, this last evening in the

mountains is the ideal opportunity for a farewell party with your sherpa guides and porters, and a good chance to

sample some chhang, try Nepali and Sherpa dance and look back on the memorable trekking experiences. The staff

will be hoping for some precious and well deserved tips. Included Meals (B L D)
