Hi Guys,
I hope you can help. I've found myself with free time for the whole of October and wondering if it would be possible to climb Island Peak in this time. But I'm looking for information from people who know the mountain.
1) I've heard that Island Peak can be climbed in a week, is this true?
2) What's the Visa requirements (if any) for a UK resident? or can I just fly to Katmandu with no worries?
3) Is it best to fly out there and get a guides and maybe hook up with others who are looking to climb the mountain. The prices are high to book through a UK company to climb Island peak, so I'm looking to do it by other means.
4) Flying to Deli and then on to Katmandu seems to be the best option for price.
Any other advice would be great or any contacts that you do have that could help would be fantastic.
thanks Shaun
