The approach follows the "Everest Base Camp and Gokyo lakes" itinerary, one of Nepal's most famous treks, through the Khumbu mountains - Sherpa country. After a magnificent mountain flight to Lukla we follow the Dudh Kosi valley to Namche Bazaar. The trail to Gokyo is a gradual ascent up the valley passing through patches of birch and rhododendron forest where the elusive musk deer can sometimes be seen. Through small yak-grazing settlements we reach the Gokyo lakes where we climb Gokyo Peak (5480 m) and enjoy stunning summit mountain scenery that includes Everest, Makalu and Cho Oyo. After the Cho La pass, we reach Gorak Shep and climb to Kala Pattar (5545 m) and enjoy an impressive up-close view of Everest. The ascent of Island Peak includes little technical climbing (Grade: Alpine PD). Only the last part, a steep (40 degrees) snow and ice ramp requires the use of fixed rope to reach the summit. The scenery is absolutely breath-taking: Lhotse, Makalu, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and Buruntse. Our return route passes through Tengboche, a magnificent location with a fascinating monastery, where we rest and savor the incredible scenery, including magnificent views of Everest, Ama Dablam (6856m), Kantega (6809m), Kwangde (6194m), Nuptse (7879m), and Lhotse (8511m), to name but a few.
