Part 02 - From Namche Bazzar to Island Peak climbing

The harderst and risky stage of the expedition started from Namche Bazzar. This is mainly due to unfamiliar altitude and less oxygen. Therefore the team moved very slowly after Namche Bazzar.

They passed the villages Tangboche, Deboche, Pangboche, Dingboche, Chhukung and reached the Island Peak base camp. The climb started at about 2.00am on 11th November 2016. The climb was a totally new experience to all 4 members and they reached the summit around 11.00 am.
