This is one of the most popular trekking peaks in Nepal. From Dingboche the mountain is seen as an island in a sea of ice. The summit is interesting and attractive with a highly glaciated west face rising from the Lhotse Glacier. Our unique itinerary takes you into the high valleys of the Khumbu region, providing magnificent views of the awesome Khumbu peaks as you acclimatize for the trekking ahead. We have the opportunity of conquering Imjatse Peak (6200 m). 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 submit some of the nameless peaks, for the best view of Everest in the whole of the Khumbu Valley. Our camp at Gorakshep (5160 m) provides time to walk up to Kalapathar (5545 m) for the classic views of Everest's southwest face, Lhotse, Nuptse and Khumbu icefall. The trek descends through the Khumbu classic route via Tyangboche, Namche, to Lukla to fly back to Katmandu the following day. |
