Description

An amazing trekking peak that offers some of the best views in the Himalayas, the Island peak (6,189m), near Mount Everest is a tremendous mountain to visit. And on this 20-day adventure, you will not only get to venture to the top of this great mountain, but you will also get to see a great deal of the area surrounding it. Thus giving you a thrilling, all encompassing experience in the Everest region of Nepal.

We start the hike in Kala Patar and delight with some of the best views of the highest peak in the world via Namche Bazaar and Thyangboche. Then, we will reach the summit of Pokalde (5806m), where the view includes four of the world's 8000-meter peaks, after navigating the Kongma La and the Khumbu Glacier. After descending to our basecamp next to Imja Tsho Lake, we are prepared to climb Island Peak, which offers excellent alpine climbing and a genuine sense of accomplishment.

We will be trekking for several hours for the majority of the days on this trip. As a result, participants should be in good physical condition.

A trip like this is the kind of experience adventurers yearn for their whole lives. And I would be more than happy to guide you every step of the way. To enjoy it for yourself, just send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
