Our instructors are picked for their knowledge and expertise in the mountaineering. Island Peak 6,160 meters was first ascended in by a British expedition that included Tenzing Norgay.

The peak is part of the south ridge of Lhotse and linked to the semicircle of cliffs that rise to the north of the summit of Nuptse. Our adventure begins with a short flight to Lukla and two days of easy walking to Namche bazaar. En- route to Base Camp our trail takes us into the high valleys of the Khumbu region, providing magnificent views of Everest and the satellite peaks.
