"Trek into the heart of the Khumbu area in the shadow of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Pumori, Makalu and Cho Oyu  with a summit climb of Island Peak".

Climbers and trekkers have long been drawn by the lure of the world's highest mountain, discovering the breathtaking beauty of the Everest region and friendliness of its people. Unlike the classic Everest Base Camp treks, which follow the valley floors, our route goes high into the mountains, bringing stunning panoramic views of the Khumbu Himal and Everest itself. The climax of the trek is the ascent of 6189m Imja Tse or Island Peak as it was named by Shipton, who saw it as 'an island in a sea of ice'. In fine weather, the view from its summit is vast and breathtaking and a fitting reward to adventurous climbers.
Flying to the tiny airstrip at Lukla, we meet with the trek team and set off at a leisurely pace. The first two days are spent trekking among the villages and Buddhist monasteries of the Sherpa people, whose mountaineering exploits are legendary. Branching off up Gokyo Valley, we reach a dramatic landscape of cobalt blue lakes, alpine pastures & sparkling glaciers. Climbing Gokyo Ri (5360m) bring memorable views of the Khumbu Peaks and Everest itself, particularly at sunset. We continue to Kala Pattar over the Cho La pass for the classic views of Everest. Beyond the Kongma La, we descend to the Imja Khola Valley, which we follow past the Lhotse and Imja Glaciers to reach the base camp for our climb. Several days are set aside for the climb in case we need further acclimatization or have to wait for clear weather. Though the ascent of Island Peak offering the best views will no doubt be a highlight for many, the trek is not over. We still have several days to make our way down the valley back to Lukla for the return flight to Kathmandu.
