Accommodation during the Island Peak Climbing
Himalayan Trekkers provides 3-star standard category hotel accommodations in Kathmandu on a twin/double sharing basis. However, you have a wide range of selections from 3 to 5-star hotels, basic lodges, and even hostels. You can also opt. for the single supplementary at an additional cost.
During the trek and Island Peak Climbing, you will be spending the nights in the trekking teahouses with minimal amenities. The rooms will be furnished with a bed, mattress, blanket, and pillow as a bare minimum on a twin-sharing basis. In the upper locations, you might have to share the restrooms and toilets.
Similarly, in areas where trekking lodges and teahouses are not available, we provide lodging in tent camps.
Meals during the Island Peak Climbing
Himalayan Trekkers will offer all three meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—except the lunches and dinners in Kathmandu, which have a wide variety of dining options.
After Namche Bazaar, your options become increasingly limited. The most well-known dishes in Nepal are noodles, dumplings, flatbreads, potatoes, fried bread, mushroom soup, butter tea, and the staple, Dal-Bhat-Tarkari (lentils, steamed rice, and seasonal vegetables).
Whenever we use tented accommodations, our tent cooks will provide you with freshly cooked meals.
Drinking Water during the Island Peak Climbing
When trekking for more than 4 to 5 hours each day in high altitudes, drinking water is crucial. Fluid intake should be increased because dehydration is a very typical occurrence. Bottled water is available, although it can cost twice as much at higher altitudes. You can thus bring a filtering flask or purification pills in addition to a reusable water bottle and fill it up at the various natural springs and taps you come across along the way. Boiling water is available in tea shops, although it costs extra per liter or pot.
