On average, a walking day lasts six to seven hours, but a summit day can last ten to fourteen hours.
Climbing gear such as an ice axe, crampons, mountaineering boots, and a descender are needed for this adventure. Because of this, prior climbing expertise is required. Prior to the actual climb, we also provide climbing instruction at base camp.

Durations to climb Island Peak:

If you’re lucky and the weather is clear when you fly, you might be able to see Everest in the distance, but inclement weather frequently forces the airport to close. Thus, if you’re flying to Lukla, it’s a good idea to plan for delays. Alternatively, you can hike from outside of Kathmandu on the Pioneers trail, which connects to the trailhead at Jiri or Phaplu and passes underneath Lukla, as an alternative to flying to Lukla.
