Yes, a permit is required to climb Island Peak, and it can be obtained through a registered trekking or climbing agency. A guide is mandatory for climbing Island Peak, as the climb is considered to be a technical climb and requires experienced guidance. The cost of the Everest base camp trek includes your permit fee, guide fee, and porter fee. Island Peak climbing can be attempted year round, one should always consult an experienced guide before attempting a difficult climb like this one. Today, we’ll be trekking from Chhkung to Pangboche, a 12km journey that will take us 4-5 hours. We will spend the day learning about proper climbing techniques and getting acclimated to the altitude.
We were 6 school friends and had Really amazing time on this trekking. We did our Annapurna Basecamp Trek with Mingmar and it was one of the best trekking experiences I’ve ever had. How much money or cash you should be bringing with you depends on how you do the trip and the number of days you want to spend here in Nepal. You should book the service at least 15 days before the trek departure date. Also, this trekking trail in Nepal takes you 4,000 m above the altitude, therefore, you also need to ensure that your insurance policy covers treks that go over 4,000 m. We recommend checking out the Annapurna base camp trek map PDF for detailed information and maps of the trek route.

You will also experience Gurung culture, old traditions, and religious values. There is no doubt that this trek is one of the most famous in Nepal. Please share your experience if you have already travelled with Northern Trekking Team We will contact you before the end of the working day to discuss next steps

The trail is around 12 kilometers long and will take you 8-9 hours to complete. The views from Lobuche are supposed to be incredible, so we’re looking forward to it! The hike will be around 8 kilometers and will take us 6-7 hours to complete. Please make sure to drink plenty of water and take it easy today.
