The Everest region is Nepal’s most famous adventure destination, offering climbs to the world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest (8,848m), and other popular mountains like Ama Dablam, Island Peak, and Mera Peak. Since the first successful ascent of Everest on 29 May 1953 by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary, the region has attracted climbers and trekkers from all over the world.
Island Peak climbing combined with the Everest Base Camp trek takes you into the heart of the Khumbu region. Island Peak (Imja Tse), standing at 6,160m, looks like an island surrounded by glaciers in the Imja Valley. First climbed in 1956 by a Swiss team as part of Everest training, it remains one of the most popular and achievable Himalayan climbing peaks, suitable even for beginners with basic training.
“Climb Island Peak in the stunning Khumbu valley, surrounded by towering Himalayan giants, peaceful nature, ancient Buddhist culture, traditional Sherpa villages, and breathtaking alpine landscapes.”

Sherpa Mountaineering is a premium Himalayan guiding company founded by IFMGA guide Lakpa Sherpa, delivering safe, ethical, and bespoke expeditions.
🏔️ My First Expedition 2002— Ama Dablam 6,812 meters (22,349 feet) and it became one of the most important experiences of my early mountaineering career.
There were 11 members, one German guide, and two climbing Sherpas. We were responsible for carrying the equipment and managing the expedition logistics.
The work was not easy. We carried loads to Camp 1 four times, Camp 2 three times, and Camp 3 twice. We also had to transfer loads between camps, fix ropes, and continue climbing toward the summit.
Ama Dablam is a technical mountain, so reaching the summit is not simply about walking uphill. It requires repeated climbing, descending, carrying loads, and working as a team.
Even after reaching the summit, our work was not finished. We still had to return through Camp 3, Camp 2 and Camp 1, making several journeys before completing the expedition.
Standing on the summit was an incredible feeling—full
