We have the opportunity of conquering Imjatse Peak (6189m.). Whilst Imjatse Peak well within the capabilities of any fit and determined hill walker but it can be demanding and it requires some basic climbing experience.

Our adventure begins with a short flight to Lukla and two days of easy walking to Namche Bazaar. On the way up, there is also time to explore this magnificent valley towards the fourth and fifth lake and summit some of the nameless peaks, for the best view of Everest in the whole of the Khumbu Valley.

We also camp at Gorekshep (5160m.) provides time to walk up to Kalapattar (5545m.) for the classic views of Everest's southwest face, Lhotse, Nuptse and Khumbu icefall as well as for the acclimatization for Island Peak. After the summit of Island Peak we descend down through the Khumbu Classic route via Tyangboche and Namche to Lukla to fly back to Kathmandu on the following day.
