Mt. Peak 38 known as Shanti Shikhar peak (SHAN) is located just above to the Island Peak and height of 7,590 metres, an fantastic and beautiful Mountain of Khumbu valley and lies range of Mt. Lhotse. The 800km stretch of the Nepal Himalaya is the greatest in the world with eight peaks that rise above 8,000m including the highest in the world, Mt. Everest ever since the country opened its peaks to climbers in 1949, the Nepal Himalaya has become a great theater of mountaineering activity and the drama of success and failure have provided impetus to thousands of men and women to meet the ultimate challenge. The Nepal Himalaya has been an attraction to many people, be they saints, philosophers, researchers or, adventurers.

Early in the morning we transfer to the domestic airport where you will fly to Lukla. It happened to look many times at this mountain and was surprised of its incredible beauty. It in fact looks as a majestic white triangle hidden behind Island Peak (Imja Tse). Several routes are possible. The approach it not very difficult but it will take a few more days to reach base camp.
