Trek the classic trails of the Khumbu region to Gokyo and Everest. Climb five superb trekking peaks including Gokyo Ri, Lobuche East, Kala Pattar, Pokalde and Island Peak. Our Everest Trekking Peaks trip is a chance to make the classic trek to the lakes of Gokyo and to Everest, but at the same time to make the ascents of up to five of the best and easiest trekking peaks in the Khumbu region.

The trek follows the standard route to Gokyo where we can ascend Gokyo Ri (5357m) for our first good views of Everest. We can also explore the Gokyo lakes, heading up the valley a little towards Cho Oyu (8153m). We then cross the 5368m Cho La, a high pass which leads to the Khumbu glacier from where we are able to make the ascent of Lobuche East (6090m). Once on the summit we will be rewarded with superb views of Everest and Nuptse. Our next objective after this is to ascend Kala Pattar (5545m) for the classic views of Everest and the Khumbu Icefall and also to make the a trip to Everest Basecamp itself.

We then cross the Khumbu glacier and cross the Kongma La pass from where we can make the ascent of Pokalde (5794m). Descending into the Imje Valley we can re-charge our batteries at the village of Chukung before trekking to the highest reaches of the Imje Valley. Our final climb is on Island Peak (6189m), one of the most famous trekking peaks in the region and rightly so since it is situated in a spectacular position immediately beneath the huge South Face of Lhotse.

Although these trekking peak ascents are technically straight forward, having previous experience of roped glacier travel and use of ice axe and crampons will benefit you to getting the most out of the trip. We will provide skills training and refresher sessions in rope work and in ice axe and crampon techniques from our highly skilled qualified guides and leaders.
