Base camp is by the side of the Imja glacier below steep grassy slopes that marks the start of the climb on Island Peak. Day 14 Base Camp - Rest day. Acclimatisation and necessary preparations, sorting the gear for the ascent. Crossing the gully above the camp the trail makes a climb for another hour to a narrow ridge, leading on to the glacier. Here is it, to rope-up and put on our crampons as the most interesting part of the climb begins with the glacier crossings.
Descent is made by the same route to the low base camp.
After lunch we will walk for about 3 hours finally reaching to a village of Dingboche and camp for the night. We take our hot lunch here, then after ascend again till we reach to the imja bridge. From here crossing the river, it is a gradual climb to Thyangboche. We will be camping in the village itself. In the evening we can pay a visit to the legendary Monastery.
