Overview
Trip overview
A quick summary of the route, support level, and the main things travelers should know before booking.
The Island Peak Climbing and Everest Base Camp Trek is simply one of the best fusion of trekking and mountaineering in Nepal at one go. This particular journey is a journey through some of the most beautiful landscapes and Sherpa villages to the mostly preferred trekking and climbing destinations, the Everest base camp (5,357m) &the Island peak (6,189m) respectively in the Khumbu region. Additional attractions of the trip include a guided sightseeing day tour to some of the world heritage sites in Kathmandu, a hike to Kala Patthar – for the best view of Mt. Everest along with other towering peaks like Pumori, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam, an opportunity to explore the vegetation and wildlife of the Sagarmatha National Park and the beautiful settlement of Sherpas exhibiting their lifestyle, culture, tradition, and religion en route.
Our 20 days Island Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp Trekstarts with a flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. We first hike up to the base camp of Everest and then only climb the Island Peak. After climbing the peak we walk back to Lukla to catch a flight to Kathmandu.
The standard package offered by Amigo Treks and Expedition offers the combination of expedition-style and teahouse trekking, which means the package ensures three meals (B, L, D and Tea/coffee) during the trek with accommodation arranged in a basic lodge except for two nights during the trek that are spent in a tented camp. The package only covers bed and breakfast before and after the trek. However, trekkers/climbers can definitely enjoy a free map. Nevertheless, you can enjoy a day tour to some of the major attractions of the Kathmandu Valley. This package, however, can be customized to your requirements, guaranteeing flat rate, special group discount and 100% departure date.
The itinerary is carefully designed, ensuring the necessary acclimatization with an average of 5-6 hour walk every day. Therefore, any physically fit person with sound health and strong mental determination can plan this trip. Moreover, the trek becomes much more enjoyable, if planned at the right time of the year, which is spring (March-May) and autumn (September- November).

However, if you are looking to climb other peaks in the Khumbu region, you can go with our 16 days Lobuche Peak Climbing package or 19 days Mera Peak Climbing. These packages if combined with the Everest base camp trek is considered more satisfying than any other trips in Nepal. Make an informed decision and enjoy the trip!

What travelers say after the trip
Everest Base Camp Trek
★★★★★
WOW, Where do I start? I have wanted to do this trek for about 30 years, so when we decided to book we compared many trekking companies to decide who to go with and #AmigoTrekking scored the best and they certainly lived up to expectations. We had an amazing journey far better than our wildest dreams. There were a few reasons why our trip was so good and here's why. Prior to the Journey: AMIGO Trekking were so professional prior to the journey, answering my numerous emails in the leadup in regards to gear requirements, weight of rental gear and logistics. We communicated with Niti regularly and she always got back to me within 24 hours. This is very important when trying to plan such a trip. Amigo and Niti were also the only company that effortlessly accommodated our desire to extend our stay in Tengboche to attend the festival at the monastery. (November) Once we arrived: We were greeted at the airport by a very friendly and professional mountain guide 'Hari Adhikari' who immediately helped us navigate our exit from the airport making a very chaotic situation easy. We felt like royalty. Little did we know at that point just how much this one man would shape our trek into the amazing journey it became. For the next 14 days Hari was by our side perfectly pacesetting our speed for success. He steered us to quality tea houses with the best food for breaks, negotiated the best rooms for us every night and even showed us the best spots for pictures along the way. His experience and cheery disposition was very visible with every interaction he had. He seemed to be best friends with every guide, porter and tea house owner we passed. Hence we nicknamed him 'Happy Hari'. No task was too big or small and he made a point of letting us know where he'd be every night (his room number, tent or dining room) in case we needed him. He was not only the main reason for our successful completion of the Trek, but added many enjoyable moments for us as well. If you are lucky enough to have Hari as your guide, make sure you take a pack of UNO cards with you. Hari loves the game! Along with Hari we were also lucky to have on our team an amazing young man Chandra (Sandra) who was our super human porter. He too always wore a smile, even when lugging our bags over rock after rock! Thanks mate, we don't know how you do it. If we can impart one thing we've learned that will make your Trek in Nepal memorable. It's go with Amigo and insist on Hari and Chandra. You won't regret it! Thanks guys, we are forever grateful.
