During this trek, you will usually have breakfast and dinner at the same guest house. So, overall you have a different choice of foods on the trek. Generally, chosen menu items are Nepalese meals (Dal Bhat), Tibetan fried bread, various types of soups, Momo’s (steamed dumplings), boiled and fried potatoes, kinds of pasta, and even pizza. Travelling with Northern Trekking Team, you experience a vast array of wonderful Nepalese food, Italian, Thai, Chinese, and several local foods.
The next day – we’ll be trekking from Pangboche to Namche Bazaar! Today is a big day as we will be trekking to Island Peak Base Camp. This 9 KM trek will take you 6-7 hours, and is a great way to start your day.

What are the common altitude sickness symptoms and how can they be prevented?

The main necessary equipment for Island Peak Climbing includes an ice axe, crampons, climbing harness, helmet, climbing boots, down jacket, warm layers, and a headlamp.4. The average hike from base camp to high camp is about five to six hours, depending on your fitness level. As with any high-altitude peak, climbers must be mindful of extreme cold (even in summer) and the possibility of altitude sickness. These months offer the best weather conditions for climbing, with stable temperatures and little chance of snow or rain.

Which weather conditions can I expect?

What’s more important was the price for our trip to EBC and Island Peak was far cheaper than other companies. This company served us with the best accommodation, the best tea houses, the best food, and of course the very best guide, Mingmar himself. And when our trip began, the rest is very satisfying.
While you’re in Kathmandu, your accommodation is at a standard hotel (Arrival time and departure time). Along the way, trekkers will pass through lush forests, terraced fields, and past glistening glaciers and snow-capped peaks. Annapurna Base Camp is located at an altitude of 4,130 meters (13,550 feet) above sea level. If you’re looking to get some experience in the mountains before attempting the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, there are a few other great options in the Pokhara area. It’s all freshly prepared at each meal, so you won’t get bored with the same dish every day.

Is a permit required to climb Island Peak?

As long as you’re prepared, climbing Island Peak should be relatively straightforward. Spring is also a good time to climb because the snow has melted enough to make the ascent easier, but not so much that the trail is muddy. The best time to climb Island Peak is during the spring or fall. Then, it’s off to Base Camp, where you’ll spend a few more days acclimatizing and preparing for the summit push.

Our Guides And Safety

We will hike around Dingboche to help our bodies adjust to the altitude. Today is a much-needed rest and acclimatization Gokong day. We will be starting at an altitude of 3,857 meters (12,654 feet) and will be ending at an altitude of 4,400 meters (14,435 feet).

They cooperated with us just like family and made us experienced each and every place of Annapurna base camp. Annapurna base camp is really a moderate trek however continuous rain made is very difficult for us. Nepal itself is amazing, but having a good guide can help make the experience even more magical. I have hiked with Mingmar 4 times now (Annapurna, Everest, Lantang, and Manaslu) over 5 years and each trip gets better.
This weight includes both your duffel bag and daypack. We would like to repeat that in case the helicopter service is required, the trekkers must pay the cost. Unwanted to say, the helicopter takes 4 to 6 passengers at a time and the cost can be shared amongst the passengers. Generally, the Everest region has to use Twin Otter and Dornier as primary modes of transport to and from the airstrip. After you confirm your trip with us, you should be transferring us a photocopy of your passport or your personal information.
