and pass through Sherpa village. Regarding the Island
peaks we follow the classic trail of Everest through Namche
Bazar, the Sherpa village, and head forward to the Gokyo

area with many lakes and the icy glacier. En route to

of the mountains the adventure will still proceed to Kalapathar
(5545m). And, now, descending to Dingbouche and the trail
veer us to Chhukung Valley and then to Imja Tse known
as the Base camp of Island Peaks.
We will have a overnight in the camp
that will be set on the south west of the Khumbu region
and the next day we make exciting adventure to scale 20,305
ft) of the summit. The approach to the region presents
the very gigantic views of Solukbumbu region including
Mt Everest, Makalu, Lhotse. Summiting the world near to
the kingdom of the cloud you come to feel how the high
