19 days.
Good cardiovascular fitness and multi-day endurance; ability to carry a daypack and sustain consecutive high-altitude days.
You should have prior trekking at altitude; Island Peak requires basic glacier travel skills—operators provide training, but comfort with crampons and rope-work is expected.
Acute Mountain Sickness can occur even in fit people—slow ascent, hydration, and planned acclimatization days are the primary mitigation strategies.
Flights are weather-dependent; short visibility windows and wind can cause delays or cancellations—build buffer days into your schedule.
Lodging is in teahouses/guesthouses during the trek and simple high-altitude camps for summit rotations; Kathmandu nights are in 3-star hotels as listed.
The Khumbu has long been a Sherpa trading route; Sagarmatha National Park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, recognizing its natural and cultural value.
Permits and park fees fund local conservation; follow leave-no-trace principles and support local lodges to minimize environmental and social impact.
