Everest Base Camp Trekking is a dream for many, undoubtedly because of the trail and the magnificent views. The vibe of being on the Base Camp of the most astounding mountain on the planet with a 360-degree scene of Himalayas is an ordeal of a life without a doubt. Island Peak (6189m), then again, is one of the mountains that go under the Himalayan reaches. Otherwise called Imja Tse, Island Peak is called so on account of its view from the town of Dingboche which makes it look like the peak is rising from a sea of ice. The view from the top of Island Peak after tackling rope bridges, crevasses, and icy slopes is breath-taking, as you can see the giant Lhotse up close and Everest peeking behind it.
Everest Base Camp Trekking along with Island Peak Climb is a unique itinerary that mashes up two of the major sites of Everest Regions. This journey starts from the capital city, Kathmandu, as you take a short but scenic flight to the town of Lukla. From Lukla, you will trek on to Namche Bazaar which is famous for being inhabited majorly by the Sherpa community of Nepal.
