Island Peak Climbing  |  22 Days

Island Peak is the most admired trekking Peak to climb in the Everest region, which is also known as the Imja Tse. It is situated on the top of Chhukung Glacier at 6189m between the Lhotse and Ama Dablam Mountains.

It is a porch of Lhotse Shar divided by a small pass on the south ridge. Island Peak as a striking climbing peak in Nepal was introduced by Eric Shipton in 1952 AD. Due to its technicality and wonderful features, the climbers also prefer to climb this peak before setting out to climb the high Himalayan peaks like Mt. Everest.

The Island Peak climbing trip is combined with the exciting Everest Base Camp Trekking. It is a special reward for the mountain climbers in Nepal that brings them close to the Himalayan ethnic Sherpa village, culture, customs, monasteries, Chhortens and alpine flora and fauna in the Sagarmatha National Park.

The natural and cultural panorama of the trekking along with its ascend up to the base camp and Kalapatthar keeps the climbers physically fit and acclimatized at higher altitude in Khumbu region.

With the use of peak climbing equipment like crampons on boots, using climbing ropes, ice ax, harness, carabineers, descending gamer, the trip leads to the top of Island Peak. The views from the top of the Peak are Nuptse (7879m), Lhotse (8501m), Lhotse Middle Peak (8410m) and Lhotse Shar (8383m), Makalu (8475m), Baruntse and Amadablam along with Glaciers and Glacial Lakes. The climbing routes of the Island Peak are south-east and south-west ridge, setting the camp at Pareshaya Gyab that lies between the Island Peak and Imja Glacier.
