Island peak Climbing is planned for those mountaineer enthusiasts who are physically fit and energetic. Combining Everest Base Camp Trek and Island Peak Climbing is suggested simultaneously; it helps get adequately acclimatized. On Island Peak Climbing via EBC, you get on a fantastic adventure that brings you into the mainland of the Khumbu Valley and Everest Base Camp (5364m).
Island Peak (6189m/20305ft) is one of the famous climbing peaks in the Everest Region because of its stunning and highly glaciated West Face that rises from the Lhotse Glacier. The Island Peak Climbing via EBC has been tailored with professional advice and taking care of continuing acclimatization at suitable gaps. Before you scale this impressive peak, we will take you to the most famous destination in the world – The Everest Base Camp and Kala Pattar; visiting those places above 500o meters helps you be acclimated appropriately and comfortably. The Everest region is the home of countless snow-capped peaks that professional climbers can scale. This journey of Island Peak Climbing begins from and concludes at one of the most popular airports in the world, The Lukla Airport in the Khumbu Region.

During peak season, it can be difficult to find single or twin rooms in the mountains, so our lodges usually offer dormitory-style accommodation. Our priority is always to provide clean and safe rooms for our guests.
Meals: Our packages in Bhutan include full board meals, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner included. For treks, all meals are provided, but you will need to pay extra for drinking water and snacks.
Nepal Visa: If you are planning a trip to Nepal, you must have a valid passport and Nepal Visa. Depending on your country of origin, you may need to obtain a Nepal Tourist Visa before your arrival. To be eligible, your passport should be valid for a minimum of six months from your Tour Start Date. If you are planning on traveling to multiple countries on your trip, make sure to get a multi-entries Nepal Visa.
Bhutan Visa Clearance: All visitors to Bhutan must have a valid Bhutan Visa Clearance before their trip. To obtain it, you must submit a color-scanned copy of your passport, which must be valid for at least 6 months from the start date of your tour. Your tour operator will send you a Visa Clearance prior to your departure, which you must present at the Druk Air/Bhutan Airlines counter during check-in. Once you arrive at Paro Airport, your passport will be stamped with the original visa.
Tibet Group Visa (TGV): All travelers from any nation intending to go to Tibet from Nepal must obtain a Tibet Group Visa (TGV) in Kathmandu with the help of a tour operator. To ensure the successful application of the TGV, you should plan to arrive in Kathmandu 3-4 working days before your travel date. If you are coming from China, you will not require a TGV; instead, you will need a Chinese Visa and Permit. To find out more about the process of entering Tibet, please look into the Tibet entry procedure.
Nepal & Bhutan: Visiting Nepal and Bhutan at the same time is ideal as they share a similar climate. From high mountains to low land sub-tropical plains and jungles, the two countries have similar weather. The best time to visit is from March to April (spring) and October to December (autumn and early winter). During these months, the air is clean and fresh with sunny skies. January and February are colder months, while June, July, and August (summer) are typically monsoon seasons.
Tibet: It is best to visit Tibet between April and October when the weather is warm and the skies are clear. However, from November to March, it is still possible to explore certain areas like Namtso, Everest Base Camp, and Mount Kailash, as long as the roads are not blocked by snow. Temperatures during this time may be quite cold.
