Island Peak Climbing
3rd November, 2022
The island peak climbing was mixed bag of difficulties, energizing, exciting and contemplative experiences for me. The adventurous with formidable routes of island peak that guided me to find triumph at its highest point of 6,189 was challenging and humbling.
But this all was nothing due to the contribution, devotion and high concerned by Skyline treks and expedition. What an outstanding arrangement by the peak climbing leader (Mr. Madhav pandey) and kudos from my heart to my Sherpa climbing guide (Tenzi Sherpa) without whom the island peak climbing would fly out of the window.
Our entire team eternally advises for Skyline treks and team. We urge for your growing business.
