This expedition by Nima Adventure offers a high-altitude combination of the iconic Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek and a technical climb of Island Peak (6,189m). The journey is meticulously planned to include multiple acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar, Dingboche, and Chukung to ensure peak physical readiness. Highlights include standing at the base of the world’s highest peak, the sunrise from Kala Patthar, and hands-on technical training at Base Camp to master climbing gear before the final summit push.
