Everest Base Camp and Island Peak (6160m) is the most trending and popular trek for beginners to experience mountaineering in Nepal. The name of this adventurous trek came from the two different treks of Everest region which combine EBC Trek and Imja Tse (Island Peak) climbing. This trek lies in Everest Region, home to highest peaks in the world. 

Trekkers and climbers, who had succeeded this EBC Trek with Island Peak climbing, review it as a perfect package of an adventurous trip to the Everest Region. In this trek, even the normal trekkers can encounter the best ever high altitude experiences in the Himalayas of Nepal probably in the world.  

EBC Trek with Island Peak Climbing Route: 
The trek starts with taking a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and a short trek to Phakding. From there you will trek to EBC taking rest days in a few places like Namche and Dingboche for acclimatization. It will take 7-8 days to reach Everest Base Camp from Lukla depending on how you walk. Many trekkers misunderstand that they will spend a night at EBC (5357m) during this trek. Remember that there are no tea houses available for overnight stay except tented camps during the Everest climbing season. Before returning to Lobuche you will hike to Kala Patthar (5550m) for the best view of the surrounding mountains. On your next day, you will hike to Dingboche from where you will head to Chukhung valley in the east direction. The Island Peak Base Camp is 3-4 hours from Chukhung village. You will spend two nights at Island Peak Base Camp, on arrival and summit days. During two nights will be sleeping in a tent and food will serve at camp. After the successful summit of Imja Tse, you will retrace back to Lukla and fly back to Kathmandu.

Why is Everest Base Camp (EBC) with Island Peak climbing is Best Option?
This Trek is considered the best option for trekkers because of the following 5 reasons. 

1. Good Acclimatization
   The major cause of an unsuccessful trek or summit in the Himalayas is an altitude illness. Gaining elevation within a short period during the trek at a high altitude by going fast is not good for health. The more you reach high elevation there is lesser oxygen. So, proper acclimatization is necessary for this EBC and Island Peak Trek. In this itinerary, we had kept enough days for acclimatization. 
2. More Adventure
   EBC Trek and Island Peak climbing are both thrilling and exciting. In this trek, you will reach EBC and witness the world’s highest mountain, Everest right in front of you. In addition to that, you will also experience and learn about the climbing mountains of Nepal. 
3. Cost-saving
   For those who are looking for a trek to experience multi activities within a limited budget then this trek is made for them. It is much cheaper to do this trek than doing EBC and Island Peak separately. The most expensive are the flights between Kathmandu and Lukla.  So, this trek will save your expenses.
4. Time Saving
   As we had mentioned above in the cost-saving, this trek is time-saving too. If you can do both trips at one time then why do you need to wait or plan for the second time? Nepal has many marvelous trekking destinations where there are still many of them unexplored.
