Island Peak was my first real mountain expedition, and I couldn’t have asked for a better company than Actual Adventure. From my first email, Mr. Sushil Tiwari was incredibly responsive and reassuring. He provided detailed information about permits, acclimatization, gear, and insurance. Once in Nepal, everything was smooth — airport pickup, hotel booking, and briefing were on time. The trek to Everest Base Camp, followed by the climb to Island Peak, was well-paced. Our guide, Dawa Sherpa, was skilled and safety-conscious. We had two acclimatization days, which really helped. The summit push was tough but unforgettable. Fixed ropes were well managed, and the support team ensured our gear was properly fitted. Reaching the top of Island Peak with the backdrop of Lhotse and Ama Dablam was surreal. I highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to transition from trekking to mountaineering. Actual Adventure knows how to take care of international clients, and Sushil personally checked in with us after the summit. The professionalism, logistics, and mountain expertise made this a perfect Himalayan adventure. Thank you, team!

I joined a group climb for Island Peak through Actual Adventure, and the service exceeded all expectations. Mr. Sushil Tiwari, the manager, was helpful right from the start. He explained the permit process, altitude training needs, and gave a very transparent cost breakdown. The trek from Lukla through Namche and Chhukung was breathtaking, and we were given enough time to adjust to the altitude. Our climbing guide had years of experience and kept us well-informed and motivated. The climb from Island Peak Base Camp started early and was physically challenging but doable. The use of crampons and fixed ropes was explained in advance, and we had a short practice session at Chhukung which was extremely helpful. We summited just after sunrise and were blessed with crystal-clear views of Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu. The team also provided high-quality tents, meals, and hot drinks even at high altitudes, which was a pleasant surprise. What I appreciated most was the post-climb care. Mr. Sushil personally met us in Kathmandu to hear our feedback. That personal connection and commitment to quality really makes a difference. I highly recommend Actual Adventure to anyone considering peak climb... See more ing in Nepal. See less...

I had always dreamed of standing atop a Himalayan peak, and Island Peak offered the perfect mix of challenge and beauty. Actual Adventure, managed by the efficient and kind-hearted Mr. Sushil Tiwari, delivered a fantastic experience from start to finish. The trek up to Island Peak was gradual and scenic. Our guide allowed for acclimatization hikes and provided clear information every day. The pre-climb training at Chhukung was invaluable for a first-time climber like me. They taught us how to walk on ice, use crampons, and fix harnesses. Summit day was intense and started at 1:00 AM, but we were guided step-by-step. The rope sections were steep but secure, and safety was clearly the team's priority. I reached the summit in six hours and stood among snow-covered giants—it was an emotional moment. The equipment was top-notch, and the base camp meals were surprisingly hearty and warm. After we returned to Kathmandu, Mr. Sushil organized a small celebration dinner for us. I couldn’t have asked for more! For anyone new to climbing but ready for a real challenge, I strongly recommend Actual Adventure. You’ll be in expert hands.

Climbing Island Peak was a life goal, and I chose Actual Adventure based on their excellent communication. Mr. Sushil Tiwari was the first to reply among five agencies I contacted. His professionalism and honesty won my trust. The pricing was fair and clearly outlined what was included — no hidden costs! On the ground, the team was just as impressive. Our Sherpa guide, Pema, was patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. We had great accommodations at teahouses and clean tents at Island Peak Base Camp. Actual Adventure provided sleeping bags, down jackets, and climbing gear as promised. The summit day was hard with steep snow and rope climbing, but the guide ensured we moved safely and efficiently. I summited around 7:00 AM, and the views were worth every ounce of effort. The logistics — from meals to oxygen checks and radio contact — were top-notch. Post-climb, we had a guided tour of Kathmandu and a farewell dinner arranged by Sushil himself. I felt respected and appreciated as a client. If you’re looking for a trustworthy company to help you climb Island Peak, go with Actual Adventure. They're experienced and passionate about mountains.

Island Peak was my first Himalayan climbing adventure, and I’m so glad I chose Actual Adventure for it. Sushil Tiwari, the manager, was incredibly organized and genuinely cared about our safety and comfort. He helped me plan flights, gear, and insurance ahead of time. The itinerary was perfectly paced, allowing me to enjoy both the cultural side of the Everest region and gradually build up to summit day. Our guide was certified and clearly experienced with thousands of meters under his boots. He reviewed safety techniques and rope skills in a relaxed but serious manner. On summit day, the climb was demanding—especially the headwall section—but I always felt supported. The sherpas even shared tea during our rest break halfway up. The moment I reached the top was emotional and empowering. Actual Adventure took care of everything: meals, permits, logistics, and even helped carry extra gear when I got tired. After descending, Mr. Sushil welcomed us in Kathmandu and gifted each climber a framed photo of the summit — a personal touch I’ll never forget. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for Island Peak or any Himalayan climb.
