The highlight of this expedition is the challenging but rewarding climb to Island Peak, a prominent peak among climbers that offers hypnotic and mind-boggling views of the surrounding mountains.

Tailor your holiday with help from a local travel specialist that matches your requirements.
The route begins from Lukla, where you can take domestic flights from Kathmandu Airport or even drive if time permits. However, flying is recommended due to its convenience factor since it takes around 45 minutes compared to 10-12 hours of driving and three days of trekking! From here onwards, you'll start trekking towards Namche Bazaar (3440m), which serves as the gateway town for all expeditions heading towards Everest Base Camp & Kala Patthar, along with various other peaks like Ama Dablam & Thamserku.
At the same time, en route, make sure not to miss out on visiting Tengboche Monastery – one of the oldest Buddhist monasteries located at 3860m altitude, offering spectacular views across the Himalayan range, including Mt Everest itself!
After spending two days here resting/acclimatizing, we head further ahead, reaching Dingboche village (4410 m), followed by Chhukung valley (4730 m). Here, we set our camp base for a further expedition until the summit point, ensuring everything has been arranged beforehand. Once done, there will be little scope left for alterations later.
Finally, after a few more days filled with rigorous hikes uphill, arrive at High Camp, situated just below South East Ridge leading towards Summit Point - now comes the most challenging part, i.e., the actual climbing itself, but no worries if you feel intimidated. Because experienced guides present will provide necessary assistance throughout the entire ascend, making it more accessible than ever before! Once reach the top, enjoy panoramic vistas encompassing snow-capped mountains stretching far beyond the horizon line; it's worth every effort put forth earlier! So don't hesitate to give yourself a chance to experience something truly unique and life-changing journey.

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!
I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!
I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.
The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo
Recently I did EBC Trekking with my Girl Friend and this is my forth time to trek in Nepal with Kumar! Kumar is very professional and helpful. He always arranges all the things well before you asking for. Highly recommended for anyone who is first time to visit Nepal and trek!
H.E.T were professional and helpful for my first trekking in Nepal. Friendly and joyful trek. Thank you for every things. Thank you to lead me there at ABC. It was so wonderful and I couldn't forget this experience.
Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.
I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
Kumar has a very kind heart to help me arranging logistics before and during my volunteer work in Kathmandu. He also guided me with my city tour and mountain trekking after my volunteer work. He can always surprised me with brilliant suggestions.
