For the most ambitious adventurers, our Everest base camp, Lobuche Peak and Island Peak expedition is the ultimate Khumbu experience, three of the region’s greatest objectives combined into one extraordinary journey. Two technical summits, one iconic base camp, and more than three weeks immersed in the heart of the Himalayas.

At Vertex Expeditions, we’ve designed this itinerary for those who want to push further and experience everything this remarkable region has to offer. This isn’t just a trek with a peak bolted on it’s a full Himalayan expedition, taking in Lobuche (6,119m) and Island Peak (6,189m) either side of Everest Base Camp, with each objective building on the last as your fitness, acclimatisation and confidence grow throughout the journey.

From Lukla, the route winds through Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries and increasingly dramatic high-altitude terrain. By the time you reach Base Camp beneath the Khumbu Icefall, your body and mind will be primed for what comes next. Each summit brings its own character Lobuche’s exposed ridge, Island Peak’s sweeping final headwall, and panoramas across Everest, Lhotse and Makalu that simply have to be seen to be believed.

With our highly experienced local team guiding you throughout, you’ll have full technical instruction, equipment support and an experienced team who know these mountains inside out. This is one of the finest mountain adventures available anywhere in the world and we’ll make sure you’re ready for every step of it.
