Island Peak climbing is the most popular trekking peak in Nepal. Island peak climbing with the base camp of Everest is a wonderful and fantastic adventurous trip. The local name of Island peak is Imja Tse. It is an isolated peak in Chhukung valley elevation at 6189 m (20,305ft) from the sea level. Actually, this peak is the extension of Mt. Lhotse Shar and it is located between Mount Lhotse and Imja glaciers. It involves one steep and exposed 100 m ice or snow climb, otherwise a nontechnical snow climb. Climbing this peak offers stunning views of the huge south face of Mt. Lhotse (8,501 m), Nuptse (7,879 m), Lhotse Middle Peak (8,410 m), and Lhotse Shar (8,383 m) in the north, Mt. Makalu (8475 m) and Mt. Amadablam (685 6m) in the east with a beautiful panoramic view of Khumbu region and Chhukung valley.
The adventure starts with a short flight to Lukla after you depart to Kathmandu with the permit and then heading higher to the nice villages of Namche-Thyangboche-Pheriche, visiting monasteries and interesting Sherpa cultures of Buddhist religion along their lifestyles. Then we trek first towards Everest Base Camp, Kalapathar then goes Chhukung valley and start climbing or an expedition. For climbing this peak, it does not compulsory to have formal climbing training or well-experienced climbing training. Any trekker with good physical health can easily do it successfully. This fabulous adventure includes the visit to Everest Base Camp & Kalapatthar before the climb, allowing proper acclimatization, with enough rest days for practice.
For a successful expedition to the summit, climbers should have good mountaineering skills. Normally, the Autumn & Spring season is the best time for climbing this peak but we at Nepal Trek Adventure arrange customized Nepal peak climbing service as per mountaineers' wish and holiday schedule.
