Island peak Climber Reviews

I recently had the incredible opportunity to climb Island peak with Accessible Adventure, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, the team at Accessible Adventure provided exceptional service and support, making this adventure one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The pre-climbing preparations were thorough and informative, ensuring that we were well-equipped and mentally prepared for the challenge ahead. The guides were experienced and knowledgeable, always putting our safety first while also encouraging and motivating us to push our limits. The entire climbing itinerary was well-planned, allowing for proper acclimatization and rest days. The views from the summit of Island peak were absolutely breathtaking, and I felt a great sense of accomplishment and awe as I stood on top of the world. The whole experience was made even better by the warm hospitality and genuine care shown by the Accessible Adventure team. If you're looking for a professional and reliable company to guide you on your Island peak climbing adventure, Accessible Adventure is the way to go.

ery nice trip. Beautiful scenery and good guide named Krishna Dhakal. Really helped with everything and was very motivational. Would not have reached the top of Island peak without him. At Island peak I also had a separate climbing guide named Nima who is very experienced (climbed Everest 8 times and Island peak 200 times). He trained me for the top using the gear we were going to use on the climb, so I felt safe climbing it. He also checked my gear to see if it was good enough for the extreme climate on top. We had almost -30 degrees Celsius and 20 m/s wind at most but it felt safe with him. It felt amazing to reach the summit with him. Thanks for organizing alpine rumble dil. Alpine rumble treks is one of the best companies in the region and would definitely recommend to a friend. Communication perfect and I am very happy with everything!
Love, love, love Karma and Higher Path Treks. Arriving in Nepal, I had no idea what I was going to do, but Karma came with glowing recommendations. I told him I had a month to trek, and he recommended I do the Three Passes Trek + climb Island peak in the Khumbu region. Long story short, it was a magical experience, and my guides Pema and Sonam Tsering are now my good friends. Later on, I participated in a Himalayan Alpine Climbing Course run in part by Karma. The course was a month long, and at the end we climbed Mera Peak. It was an experienced that pushed me mentally and physically, and it was amazing to be on that mountain with Karma and the others. Go with Higher Path Treks, you will not be disappointed!
I went to Everest Base Camp and climbed Island peak with this amazing team. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend Higher Path Treks & Expedition.
I had an awesome experience with Nepal mountain trekkers on my Island peak climb. Ramesh was extremely attentive and managed every aspect of the trip very professionally. My guide Manish Shimkhada was great! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and managed to adapt the trip to my preference as we went along. At Kathmandu, I was accommodated at the Green Horizon hotel which was a great choice given the location and nice inside garden. I would highly recommend Nepal mountain trekkers and will certainly use them again in future trips in to Nepal, Bhutan or Tibet, both for trekking and climbing.

I wanted a trip to remember and got So much more than I expected. This really was a trip of a lifetime thanks to Icicles. The management and coordination of this company meant that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. I can't praise them highly enough. Every one was extremely helpful,knowledgeable and professional. The guide 'Lok' and the porter 'Suman' were awesome. I got to see sights that I could only dream of before. Highlights of this trek are too numerous to mention, but seeing Everest at sunset from the top of Gokyo Ri was amazing, trekking Cho la pass was tough but rewarding, visiting EBC was emotional and kind of spiritual. Climbing Island peak was out of this world and something I never thought I was capable of achieving. I had the most amazing experience especially as a first time trekker and climber. I have achieved something beyond my wildest dreams and will be forever grateful to the team at Icicles who made this happen. Thank you very very much Hari and co
Hari and the team at Icicles Adventure Treks and Tours did an outstanding job arranging the logistics for my climb to Island peak. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate as it was the monsoon and we did not summit. Kipa Sherpa, who was my guide on the climb, was friendly, knowledgable and experienced making sure safety was paramount. The trek from Lukla to Surelli was equally impressive. Icicles staff made sure I was well looked after during my 18 days in Nepal and provided excellent support and communication. I recommend them highly and without reservation and look forward to working with their knowledgable staff and guides on future climbs and treks.

Incredible Treks

5 STARS FOR INCREDIBLE TREKS!!! We just finished our custom itinerary with Incredible Treks. We are super excited to highly recommend their services, as they are not a large company, with cookie cutter mentality, treating their clients like donkeys. (believe me, when you hit the trails you'll see the difference between a custom plan, and the mass flow of humans beings sheparded by the larger organizations. I am thrilled to recommend Incredible Treks as a trekkig/climbing guide services. It was terrific to be treated like a human, and have a custom made itinerary based on our specific goals. I am super happy to highly recommend Incredible Treks to anyone wanting a personable, competent, trustworthy guide service in Nepal. They are a very cost conscious organization who will not gouge you on price, and make you feel 100% confident in what is considered a rather extreme location as the entire Khumbu Valley Region. Our organizer was Nabin Basnet. I communicated with Nabin for several months before the trip. He always provided excellent service, all emails in excellent english. The trip, although complicated, was superbly organized. Our Trekking Guide was Suraj Dhakal. He was with us all the way, from Kathmandu to the trek and climbs, all the back to Kathmandu. We could not ask for a better guide. We have become very good friends with Suraj. His knowledge of the local customs, the tea houses, altitude acclimation, physical requirements, daily needs, were always spot on. Our climbing guides were Gesh Bahadur Magar (Nema) for Lobuche Peak. He has climbed Everest twice (from different sides) and provided incredible support for our first climb over 20,000 ft. Fura Tashi Sherpa was our guide up Island peak. He was so kind and patient. Even though we would consider ourselves experienced mountaineers, having these guides made this once in a life time trip the perfect adventure. Even the cooks at both base camps were super attentive, and prepared foods that we could handle at high altitudes. I am thrilled to be a supporter of Incredible Treks. They know what they are doing. They do not gouge you on price. Best value experience that I could find (yes I researched many others). There are many trekking companies in Kathmandu. Its quite amazing and hard to know who is legit. Incredible Treks is trust worthy, knowledgable, fair, and will work very hard to make sure you get to experience your dream trip.

Our climb to Island peak was absolutely unforgettable thanks to the Alpine Ramble team. Even before the start of the trek, there was great communication with manager Dil, who was also great support in solving different situations. Our guide Amar was not only like our friend but he was also very professional, caring and attentive. Thanks also to our porters Nim and Ramesh, who were also great support during the trip. I can definately recommend Alpine Ramble and If possible, ask for the guide Amar.
