Chhukung Ri Trekking 22 days

Chhukung valley, like an Island on a sea of ice. It was renamed "Imje Tse" in the early '80s, though its original name is still more popular. Island Peak has an impressive, highly glaciated West Face that rises from the Lhotse Glacier In fact, the mountain extends from the South Ridge of Lhotse Shar and is separated only by a small col. above this gap which is the ridge leading to summit. From the Base Camp, you will have to ascend a steep, grassy slope with small rocky steps to High Camp. From here it is necessary to climb a steep, exposed snow and ice ramp to the summit ridge; fixed ropes will have to be used where necessary for a safe ascent to the top This climb requires more technical expertise than other climbs, however we will make it easier for by providing you with a technically proficient Sherpa climbing guide who is known for his knowledge of scaling high mountain peaks a short half hour flight will be undertaken from Kathmandu to Lukla Airport after Kathmandu City Tour. There is a possibility of the flight being unable to take off due to bad weather. If all goes well you will be on your way to Phakding on the same day. A full days rest will follow at the Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar at a height of over 3420m. On that day, a hike for acclimatization is possible to Thame and back. The next day sees the approach to Gokyo and if possible climb the Gokyo Peak and then follow a high pass at 5420m on the next day. Ascending the glacial valley and continuing up to reach Gorak Shep, where the camp will be set up.
