This professionally designed itinerary leads you to the Everest Base Camp for the spectacular close range view of Mt. Everest before scaling the Island Peak. Island Peak, also known as Imja Tse is popular among the novice climbers as it is less technical and can be climbed by anyone with decent physical fitness.
After a brief sightseeing tour around Kathmandu valley, a scenic flight of around 35 minutes next day will take you to Lukla from where the trekking starts. Walking along the Dudhkoshi River crossing two suspension bridges, you reach to Sagarmatha National Park,the World Heritage Site. Various rare floras and faunas can be seen in the national park.

It is until the 10th day when you reach to the base camp of Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world. Moreover, you will be rewarded with the stunning sunrise view of Mt. Everest along with the panoramic mountain views from the top of Kala Patthar.
After the successful trek to Everest Base Camp, the majestic Island Peak is what awaits you ahead. After relishing the spectacular view of Mt. Everest and surrounding peaks, the trail continues through Chhukung to reach the base camp of Island Peak. It was back in 1951 when Eric Shipton named the peak as Island Peak since it appears as an island in a sea of ice.
