Island Peak and Kala Pattar Ascent
This exciting trek offers the chance to ascend two Himalayan peaks and visit Everest Base Camp. We start by making our way through the Khumbu Valley to Lobuche where we meet the Khumbu Glacier. From here we visit Everest Base Camp before ascending nearby Kala Pattar (5545m). We then make our way to the base of Island Peak. Starting our ascent during the night we trek to the summit (6189m) of this impressive peak, set in a sea of glacier ice and surrounded by 8000m peaks.
