Island Peak Climbing

Island Peak is one of the main climbing peaks in the Everest region of Nepal. Rising 6,189m above the sea level, Island peak (also known as Imja Tse) is beautifully located in the middle of Chhukung valley, on top of the Chhukung Glacier between Mt. Lhotse and Ama Dablam. This peak is an extension of the ridge from the southern end of Lhotse Shar and sits like an island in the sea of ice. Therefore, it was named Island Peak by a climbing team of Eric Shipton in 1953.

This trek takes you through the most popular Sherpa village of Khumbu region to the Base Camp of the world’s highest mountain Mt. Everest. En route we trek through many cultural sites, such as Dingboche, a traditional Sherpa village; Tengboche, famous for its ornately decorated Tibetan monastery and Khumjung with Hillary school inside the clouds and mysterious Yeti scalp.

The Island Peak summit offers a majestic view of entire Himalayan ranges. The trail also offers an exclusive opportunity to experience glacial moraines (Imja and Lhotse), suspension bridges, monasteries, prayer rocks, colorful settlements decorated with flags, and Sagarmatha National Park that features varieties of rare flora, fauna and birds.

Because of the varied topography and places of interests, this trek is famously known with trekkers where you explore the arid dry landscape of Mustang resembling the Tibetan Plateau and visit the renowned Hindu and Buddhist’s sacred pilgrimage site of Muktinath passing through the highest pass in the world – Thorong La Pass.  This trek also takes you through the Kali Gandaki gorge – the deepest gorge in the world – where the powerful Kali Gandaki River cut deep through the Himalaya between the massive peaks of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. The Kali Gandaki gorge has been used as a trade route between India and Tibet for centuries. Today, it is part of a popular trekking route from Pokhara to Muktinath, part of the Annapurna Circuit. The gorge is within the Annapurna Conservation Area.

The cultural diversity is another amazing thing in this trekking trip. At the start of the trek, you pass first through Brahmin and Chhetri villages, then Gurung and Magar villages of Ghorepani, and finally, along the Kali Gandaki – Thakali villages. This “Across the Kali Gandaki” trekking offers you the experience of a lifetime.

Kwangde Peak Climbing

Dominating the south-west of Namche Bazaar - the gateway to Everest, Kwangde Peak (6,011m) is a challenging peak in Khumbu region. Kwangde Ri or Kongde Ri is situated in the Lumding Drangka in a high and remote valley bounded to the west by tumbling glaciers of Karyolung (6,511m), Khartang (6,853m) and Numbur (6,959m). It is an impressive peak with multi-summated ridges on the east of Lumding Himal. The ridge contains at least 4 peaks. All can be climbed with one permit. All peaks of this ridge are above (6000m) and inhibit some relatively small glaciers and some steep rock-faces. The actual mass of the mountain is a 3-mile ridge running from the summit of Nub (6,035m) to southeast of Kwangde Lho (6,187m) and Kwangde Shar (6,093m) and then turns sharply to southeast through several lower summits and terminates at Nupla (5,885m).

Trek passes through the Lumding Valley, acknowledged as one of the most beautiful valleys of Khumbu region. We establish a high camp at the snout of the Kwangde Glacier, providing us direct access onto the steep snow slopes leading to the summit ridge. This magnificent vantage point, with views north to Everest and across to the Nangpa La and Tibet, gives us a bird’s eye view of the clusters of Sherpa villages below. This peak offers panoramic views of the Rolwaling, Cho Oyu, Everest, Nuptse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam and other snow-capped mountains.

Trekking to the "Queen of the lakes".

Perched on a high shelf at 2,990 meters, Rara Lake is one of the best destinations for trekking in Western Nepal. It is the largest lake in Nepal surrounded by Rara National Park. The lake is also known as Mahendra Daha, named after the late King Mahendra of Nepal. Rara Lake is five kilometers long and three kilometers wide with maximum depth of 167 meters, making it the biggest and deepest lake in Nepal with abundant wildlife to look out for.

 Also known as the “Queen of the lakes”, the turquoise blue lake is surrounded by richly forested hills. Chuchemara Danda at 4,087 meters is the best vantage point to get stunning views of the deep blue clear lake and the thickly forested hillsides and the snow-capped mountain peaks around it.

The trek begins with flight from Kathmandu to Jumla via Nepalgunj. The flight to Jumla passes south along the Dhaulagiri range and provides lovely view of Nepal's western landscape. Going along the mountain path and some villages, one can reach the bank of Rara Lake. The trekking route is off the beaten path which offers the best way to overlook the flora and fauna by walking deep into the jungle through fine grassland and typical villages where you can get a glimpse of unique religions and culture. The Rara national park is also a birdwatcher's delight, especially during November and April when many species of birds visit during their seasonal migration. The best visiting time to the lake is September/October and April to May.

Gokyo Valley Trek

Gokyo valley trek provides a great alternative trek to the traditional Everest Base Camp trek that offers magnificent view of the mountain peaks and the Ngozumpa Glacier- the largest in the Nepal Himalayas. The highlight of the trek is our ascent of Gokyo Ri above Gokyo lake. From the summit we gain superb views of Everest as well as the 8000m peaks of Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu. Another remarkable feature is the tremendous ice ridge between Cho Oyu and Gyachung, considered one of the most dramatic panoramas in the Khumbu region. At the base of Gokyo Ri, Gokyo is a small hamlet of a few stone’s home and one of the highest settlements in the world at the altitude of 4,750 m.

Gokyo lakes are the world’s highest freshwater lake system comprising six main lakes (Gokyo, Thonak, Gyazumpa, Tanjung and Ngojumba), of which Thonak Lake is the largest and Gokyo Lake (also known as Dudh Pokhari) is the main lake with the Gokyo village on its eastern shore. This trek combines highlights of the Everest trek including remote monasteries offering insight into local Tibetan and Nepalese cultures.


After a thirty-five minutes mountain flight to Lukla, from where we proceed to Phakding alongside a raging river that flows from the highest peaks, named "Dudh" (milk) Kosi (river) because of its colour. Next day, we commence our trek to the village of Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa "capital" of Nepal. It is a tough climb as the trail passes through forest of pine to a vantage point that provides our first view of Mt Everest. The trail continues to climb and meander to Namche and the sight of this prosperous village spread within a horse-shoe shaped valley opposite the beautiful peak of Kongde Ri is every worth. The subsequent days we will pass through Phortse Village and Machhermo where the mountains are more spectacular. Passing through these villages, we also get a chance to have a look at the lifestyles of high altitude dwellers. We reach Gokyo after crossing the steep moraine of Ngozamba Glacier.


With an early start the next day, we ascent Gokyo Ri  to catch the most exquisite view ever of the Himalayas, especially that of the Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Nuptse, Cho Oyu and other neighboring snow peaks. After that, we retrace our path back to Lukla via Deboche and Monjo.
