Top 10 Adventure Destination- Everest Base Camp
Everest base camp is the Top Ten adventure destination in the world; hundreds or thousands of trekkers make it to the base camp each year. Many of these experienced trekkers are looking to expand their adventure experiences. Trekking peak climbing would be best for those wishing for an adventure beyond simply trekking. Parades of mountains in Nepal offer a great opportunity to scale these trekking peaks above 6000 meters for a thrilling experience. This is an adventure beyond trekking and also a preparation for a more extensive expedition like Amadablam or Mount Everest in years to come.
Trekking Peak above 6000 meters Gear and Permits
There are numerous 6000-, 7000- and 8000-meter peaks near the Everest base camp in Nepal. Out of many of them, we have a few below to call the trekking peaks, which require 3 to 4 days extra time. For these peak climbing adventures, one must have a climbing boot, an ascender, harness, ice axe, the figure of eight etc., camping gear, and a peak climbing permit. Few tour companies offer all the personal and group climbing gear for trekking peak climbing. No doubt it saves a lot of budgets on your trip if your company provides the unrestricted use of these expensive climbing gear. You can even rent this gear, but it is still costly, and the quality and size might need compromise while hiring it, and you may need an extra porter to get this gear to the base camp. In addition, most tour companies offer climbing training. It is usually much more practical to do this training at the base camp with enough time up to a day at the base camp for the climbing clinic before the summit push.
Island Peak with Everest base camp
Nepal's most popular trekking peak is Island Peak, near the Everest base camp. We get there within two days of the regular hike. You can do this Island peak climbing with an Everest base camp trek on your trekking trip to Nepal. It is better to stay three nights at the base camp at Island Peak. One afternoon getting there, the next day for climbing training and gear check, and another for climbing to the summit. You should also have an extra day in case of bad weather. Thus, 4 / 5 days extra would be enough to complete the Island peak climbing while you are on the Everest base camp trek.
Lobuche East Peak with Everest base camp
Lobuche peak climbing is another possible peak nearest to Everest's base camp. Lobuche East is a trekking peak that offers a great view of Everest from the top. Having 4/5 days extra time on the EBC trek provides an excellent opportunity to expand your adventure experience beyond trekking in the Himalayas.
Conclusion
One can have a peak climbing summit experience by having 4/5 days extra time on a regular Everest base camp trek, one of the best opportunities while on a trekking journey to the Everest region in Nepal. There is an option to join the four-day Island Peak climbing portion only by joining the team at the Island Peak base camp, even if you are doing the independent hiking adventure to the Everest base camp yourself.
