Island Peak & Lobuche East
Peak Climb including Cho La Pass |
 |
|
The trip will follow flying to Lukla from
Kathmandu and continuous trekking towards Island peak through
Khumbu valley. We then head to Island peak passing through
Tyangboche the most popular point for the view of Mt. Everest,
Amadablam and Lhotse as well as the centuries old monastery.
Literally, Imja Tse means “the island in a glacial sea” in
Sherpa language. The Island peak gives spectacular views of
North summit of Mt. Amadablam and the wide line of Mt. Nuptse
along with Mt. Lhotse the world’s third highest peak. The climb
to Island peak will be follows from Base camp to high camp and
then summit. Lobuche East is quite technical to compare Island
peak due to its steady slopes. The views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Cho
Oyu, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Changtse, Mt. Pumori and Mt.
Amadablam are marvelous from the top of Lobuche East. After
successful ascent on those two peaks we turn to the Gokyo valley
after crossing Cho La Pass to take pleasure ourselves. |
