TWIN PEAKS MOUNTAINEERING EXPEDITION

This expedition will follow the traditional trekking route via Namche Bazaar to the spectacular Gokyo Lakes.

We cross the Cho La pass and onto Lobuche East Peak where we will attempt to summit and take in superb views across to Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyu and Ama Dablam amongst other peaks.

We then join the traditional Everest Base Camp route along the Khumbu Glacier and to Gorak Shep, Kala Patar and Everest Base Camp. Continuing on the trek we reach Island Peak where we will attempt to summit.

Views of Lhotse, Makalu and Baruntse reward our hard work. We then return to Namche via the famous Tengboche Monastery before leaving for Kathmandu.

This expedition is open to people who simply want to trek and enjoy the environment of a mountaineering expedition.
