The Island Peak Climbing typically begins in Kathmandu, where you board a helicopter for a direct flight to the Everest region. The tour starts with a scenic flight from Tribhuvan International Airport to Lukla, the gateway to Everest, which itself is a thrilling experience. From Lukla, the helicopter continues its ascent towards the high Himalayas, passing over lush valleys, picturesque Sherpa villages, and stunning mountain ranges.
As you fly over the Khumbu region, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of some of the highest peaks in the world, including Everest (8,848 meters), Lhotse (8,516 meters), Makalu (8,485 meters), and Cho Oyu (8,188 meters). The highlight of the journey is the moment you approach Everest Base Camp, which lies at an altitude of 5,364 meters. The helicopter lands at a nearby spot, allowing you to step out and witness the grandeur of Everest, surrounded by glaciers, icefalls, and the rugged terrain that defines this iconic mountain range.
