Detail Itinerary
SUMMIT ISLAND PEAK and back to BASE CAMP
We begin our climb early in the morning to avoid the afternoon strong winds. The first touch of sunlight over the snowcapped mountains provides a mesmerizing delight. The trail starts from the base camp and gradually ascends on the grass filled hill before being filled with boulders. The trail becomes narrow and rocky before leading to the summit glacier where the path is filled with snow. As we go across crevasses the summit begins from here.
At the summit we reward ourselves with the glorious view that surrounds us. After spending quality time, we descend back to the Base Camp following the same path.
