Island Peak Climbing - 20 Days

The route was initially the three passes of Everest and Island Peak, but due to the accumulation of snow, it had to be modified. In any case, an unforgettable experience.

The 3 peaks tour with Annapurna foothills was incredible. It was a challenging expedition requiring some serious climbing but we loved every minute of it. The tour company had it all planned out beautifully to maximise our success and ensure safety. The tour was such great value with all accommodation, meals and snacks included. The guide Mingmar was superb, skilled, knowledgeable and a lot of fun while the two porters (1 porter for each traveler) were strong, helpful and also fun to be around. The organisers, Ngima and Tahsi were friendly and responsive and sorted out everything from beginning to end including some challenging flight arrangements. I highly recommend this company and this tour. We had an awesome time from beginning to end!

I climbed island peak and did the 3 pass trek with Annapurna Foothills and I really enjoyed the experience. The guides Tenzing and Mingma were really great and took good care of all of us, they managed to solve all the unexpected problems, the food and accommodations were good and the whole experience was really enjoyable because of the good atmosphere of the group. I recommend Annapurna Foothills trek to anyone going to Nepal, whether for climbing or trekking in Khumbu or Langtang. Thank you Ngima for everything and for climbing my first 6000er mountain.

I recently completed the Everest 3 High Passes trek + Island Peak Climbing with Annapurna Foothills, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Our guides, Tenzing and Mingma, were amazing. They ensured our comfort throughout the trip and made countless efforts to enhance our experience. Each night, we stayed in local tea houses that were both comfortable and served delicious food. They even took us around the towns for additional exploration whenever we desired. The trekking pace was perfectly suited to our group, with well-timed breaks in scenic and sheltered spots for meals. Snacks were provided, and every detail of the journey was meticulously planned to ensure our enjoyment. I am especially thankful to Tenzing for showing concern and care when I felt very ill on one of the days early in the trip. She arranged suitable meals, and I was able to quickly recover by the next morning to carry on. Tenzing and Mingma added numerous special touches that made the trek unforgettable. We enjoyed a picnic beside a lake at the Kongma La Pass and a guided tour of the Thame Monastery. Their extensive knowledge and friendly demeanor greatly enriched our experience. When bad weather disrupted flights from Lukla Airport, the guides quickly arranged alternative transportation by jeep/van. This proactive approach showcased their experience, flexibility and quick thinking. I highly recommend Annapurna Foothills for any trekking adventure in Nepal. They truly go above and beyond to ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience.

This was my first time mountaineering and Annapurna Foothills provided me with the best experience I ever had. During the entire trip, Tenzing and Mingma spared no effort in ensuring we were comfortable. The local tea houses we stayed at each night was comfortable and had really good food. They brought us around the towns once we arrived if we decided to explore a little more. During the trek, we were provided snacks and the pace was appropriate for us. They would choose really nice places for us to break too, ensuring there isn’t too much wind or to have a really nice view as you are having your lunch. They were flexible in allowing for some changes in the program too. During the hike, some of us wanted to take a different route and they catered to our requests as long as it wasn’t a very big deviation. Overall I had a really good time with them and would recommend them to anyone heading to Nepal for their hike!

I booked my first mountaineering experience with Annapurna Foothills, 26 days with 2 summits on the program (Mera peak and Island Peak). The expedition was perfectly organized, from the contact and discussion with Ngima to the goodbye at the end of the expedition with Dawa. The team has been reactivated to find emergency accommodation during flight cancellations to and from Lukla. Sherpa Ngawa took great care throughout the expedition to make this adventure an unforgettable experience. A big thank you to the whole team for all this work.
