Why take this tour?

Lobuche East and Island Peak Expedition combine ascending two peaks in the Everest Region. Lobuche East is probably one of the most challenging ‘trekkers peaks’ in the Everest region whereas Island Peak (6,189m) is the most popular. On your 22-day journey you will first trek to the Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar, which will not only be a rewarding experience but it will also help you with acclimatization. Next, summit the Lobuche East Peak and descend down to Imja Khola Valley for summiting the Island Peak.
