Lukla, a little airport known as the world’s best-known airport, is also the only entry and exit point for all Everest region expeditions. Then we continue our journey, heading east, passing through various hamlets and thin forests. We continue on the trail, which leads to a little hillside below the Black Mountain (Kalo Himal) range.

After breakfast at Base Camp, we begin the day’s ascent towards High Camp. As we gradually follow ascends and achieve high elevations, we prefer to walk gently and steadily to avoid altitude-related difficulties. Because the trail is sometimes covered in snow and might be hazardous, rising requires extreme caution and attention. Our Sherpa team will rapidly set up the tent by selecting a safe location. We will have spectacular views of the world’s most famous mountain ranges from the camp, including Mt. Everest 8848m, Mt. Makalu 8481m, Cho Oyu 8201m, Nuptse 7861m, and other nearby high peaks.

Mt. Everest, Cho Oye, Lhotse, Makalu, Nuptse, Kanchenjunga Baruntse, Chamlang, and many other snow-capped peaks will be visible from the summit.

Trek distance: 5 to 6 hours

After breakfast, we depart Kongma Dingma and go uphill to the picturesque Honku Valley and yak-grazing open fields.We made it feasible to summit two well-known summits, including those inaccessible valley areas, by giving two peaks climbing adventure tours. The valley is a remote and less-traveled area of the Everest region, and since most climbers return by the same trail to Lukla after summiting Mera Peak. Our adventure excursion continues towards the Seto Pokhari camp, with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and exploration of high alpine valleys. “Seto Pokhari” literally means “White Lake” in Nepali, and it is here that we may discover a series of magnificent lakes in the Upper Honku Basin.

Seto Pokhari altitude: 4825 meters

Amphu Lapcha Base Camp altitude (south): 5650 meters

Trek distance: 5 to 6 hours

Today, we continue the isolated section of our Mera and Island Two Peak Climbing expedition by trekking through rural valleys with views of popular mountains, doing multiple ascends, and descends to reach Amphu Lapcha South Base Camp. The remaining areas of Hinku Valley from the previous day can be visited during today’s journey. Our camping crew will swiftly set up comfortable lodging and hygienic food once we arrive at Amphu Lapcha South Base Camp.

Amphu Lapcha La Pass is one of the most difficult trekking passes in Nepal, requiring us to utilize climbing ropes and climbing equipment. To be successful, you must pay attention, be careful, and use climbing skills. The top of the pass will reward us with close-up views of mountains and high alpine valleys. After a few brief stops at the pass, the trail steadily descends to Amphu Lapcha North Base Camp.

Today, we depart Amphu Lapcha North Base Camp and continue on our journey to Island peak Base Camp, the base camp of our second peak.. We continue on the trail, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding snow-capped mountains, valleys, and glaciers. We will arrive at a Chhukung Valley for lunch after a couple of hours of steady walking. Chhukung is where our trail and the direct trail of Island Peak Climbing meet. Following that, we will ascend for another couple of hours till we reach Island Peak Base Camp. Our Sherpa team will pitch up camp at the foot of Island Peak’s southern ridge, which is a massive wall of two high summits; Mt. Nuptse and Mt. Lhotse.

Island Peak Base Camp altitude: 5087 meters

Summit Island Peak altitude: 6189 meters

Trek distance: 9 to 10 hours

We will begin our day early in the morning, feeling adequately equipped and acclimatized, and gradually rise towards tricky areas of Island Peak. The major reason for leaving base camp early in the morning is to avoid unusual winds and weather that could cause trouble when ascending. To avoid any technological issues, prefer to follow the rules and instructions provided by our professional Sherpa guide. Once at the summit, we will be rewarded with spectacular views of the world’s most famous high mountains, including Lhotse, Makalu, Lhotse Middle Peak, Lhotse Shar, Nuptse, Baruntse, and other high peaks in the Khumbu region.

After successfully reaching the summits of Mera and Island two peaks, we will retrace our steps back to Chhukung through the same difficult descending pathways. We will continue our walk to Dingboche across the magnificent Chhukung valley after passing through Chhukung. Dingboche is a junction where trekkers can continue on the world’s famous route to Everest Base Camp and the Kala Patthar Trek.

Dingboche altitude: 4260 meters

Namche Bazar altitude: 3,440 meters

Trek distance: 6 to 7 hours

After breakfast, we proceed downhill toward the main Everest Base Camp Trekking Trail, which also serves as a return route. We will reach Tyangboche a short distance from here, where we may explore a large number of monasteries and enjoy a commanding view of Mt. Amadablam just behind the monasteries. After that, we carry on with our short, beautiful descent towards Namche Bazaar. We will get fantastic views of several snow-capped summits along the way, including Mt.

Except for a few brief climbs uphill and a descent to the Bhote Koshi River, which we cross three times, our journey is a lovely stroll. To get to Lukla, we will need to climb a final slope for around 45 minutes.

Lukla altitude: 2,860 meters

Spending some time strolling through Kathmandu’s crowded streets might be enjoyable.
