Before beginning new year 2023, we decided to new project is to improve the daily life of Mingma Sherpa, 38, mother of two little girls. Her husband is a farm worker. She has suffered from asthma for 6 years. Her situation has gotten much worse over the past 6 months. The crises are more and more frequent and strong. Due to a lack of resources, she was never able to carry out lab tests necessary for setting up treatment. The Kathmandu hospital is the very far place where these tests are possible. But Kathmandu is 3 hours walk and 2 days by jeep from Hill. And that’s of course without counting the medical expenses such as return trip to Kathmandu, medical consultations and tests, hospital and accommodation costs and consultations and follow-up tests–
Setting aside such an expense is absolutely not feasible for Mingma and her husband.
Admissions biggest city hospital and follow professional doctor, now, after 3 months later her health is 70% improvement than before. Even, we found she is very stronger and better after the full medical treatment from hospital.
Again, doctor appointed to follow up doctor end of May 2023, at that time we will be responsible support her medical expenses along with we are happy for additional help: cloths for her family needs such as Blanket, mattresses, baby clothes. Also, we have shown them some beautiful places in cities during the staying in Kathmandu.

During this expedition focus on your chances of summit success and safety as possible by caring and supporting with all resources under the guidance of an Everest summiteer guide and climbing Sherpa.
On this expedition, we will start with a short scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and then trek through the heartland people the Sherpa people’s village. Needless to say, before arriving at the Amadablam base camp team will make an ascent of Island peak 6,189m to assist in acclimatization before Amadablam climb ahead including two days rest or acclimatize day during the trek.
Above Amadabalma Base Camp
From the Amadablam base camp, we establish two camps before the summit bid. In total, we will take about two weeks from base camp to the summit by moving up and down in the mountain to get stronger and acclimatize. During the climbing period, our guide and climbing Sherpa will be always with you as well as ferry expedition equipment and set up camp on the mountain.
The climb from Base Camp to Camp I is not technical, but above Camp I, climber must use the appropriate climbing equipment and fixed ropes to the summit. Due to the mixed rock and ice ridge, the climbing Amadablam is more technical, and participants require the experience of rock and ice climbing with excellent physical fitness. The summit of Amadablam offers a technical climbing experience along with a stunning view of the world’s highest mountains, including Everest 8,848m, Lhotse 8,516, Makalu 8,463m, Cho Oyu 8,201m and more peaks in Nepal.

Where is the island peak?
Island peak is frequently climbing a peak in Nepal; it lies between the imposing Lhotse south face and Ama Dablam. The peak was nicknamed island peak in 1953 by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary. If you are looking for a mountain experience over 6000m peaks, then Island Peak 6,189m & Mera peak 6,476m would be a good progression for a novice climber to develop the skills and confidence for any future Himalayan objectives.
How difficult to climb the Island peak?
Island peak is normally a training peak for those attempting Everest as the ice wall is similar to the Khumbu icefall, but without as many crevasses – it’s not as dangerous.
Well, the climbing begins from base camp at the altitude of 5,100m early midnight. The route goes up a gradual rocky train for about 2-4 hours towards the crampon point. At the crampon point, you will put on your climbing gear and slowly began walking through the snow glacier section and ice with rope. After reaching the bottom of the ice wall, we connect ascender and safety to the fixed line and begin to climb up. The final summit route goes the vertical ice wall with a 75 degree about 250m, which leads to a broad ridge to the summit.
Reaching the top of the island peak takes 6-8 hours of strenuous walk on the snow glacier section sometimes crevasse sections and descend back base camp 3-4 hours. Climbing Island peak require technical task includes using crampons, climbing ladders, crossing crevasses, ascenders, descenders and rope work, so it can be the hardest part but each corner brings it something new and thrilling experience.
What experience require for island peak?
If you have made it to Everest base camp, Kilimanjaro and Elbrus then the island would be a perfect progression. Climbers do not require previous climbing experience but must require some high altitude trekking experience, able to carry an average of 15-20 lbs, walk up – down with crampons on snow by using ascenders and descenders on a fixed rope along with you need the strength to pull yourself up the vertical ice wall and need to be prepared. Also, at the same time you can trek Everest base camp with island peak.
