Things to Know from Island Peak (6,165m)

This 18-day program is designed for mountaineers with previous high-altitude experience who want to take the leap to a moderately technical 6,000-meter peak. It begins with two nights in Kathmandu to manage permits and review gear, followed by the legendary flight to Lukla and a gradual trek through the Khumbu Valley, with strategic stops in Namche and Tengboche for both cultural and physical acclimatization. In Dingboche and Chhukung, acclimatization is reinforced through high-altitude hikes and a practical workshop on crampons and rope techniques.

The alpine phase begins at Base Camp (4,970 m), where the infrastructure for the summit push is established. A transfer to High Camp (5,600 m) allows rest before the final ascent. Summit day involves crossing the Imja Glacier, navigating crevasses with fixed ropes, and climbing a snowy ridge to reach 6,165 meters, with unique panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam.

After the summit, the descent through Pangboche and Namche provides time to celebrate and process the achievement. Finally, the return flight leads to a free day in Kathmandu, ideal for shopping or cultural visits, with built-in contingency time in case of Himalayan weather delays. The experience concludes with airport transfer and farewell to the local team.
