Overview
Island Peak Climbing follows the same route as Everest Base Camp Trek until reaching Dingboche. From here, you have to turn toward Chhukung village and then go to Island Peak Base Camp for the climbing, while the EBC trek leaves for Lobuche. On the way, you will enjoy the terrific view of Mt. Ama Dablam (6812 m) which is one of the most technical peaks in the world and the only most famous rock climbing in Nepal Himalaya. In addition, the lush pine forest and a few small Sherpa villages imprint the beauty and lifestyle of local people in the Khumbu region.
