Imja Tse - Island Peak
A spectacular peak near Mount Everest
Island Peak is one of the most stunning peaks near Mount Everest in Solukhumbu district of Nepal. It is one of the popular climbing peaks known as Imja Tse in Tibetan language among climbers. It is enough to be generally fit for Island Peak Climbing. Previous climbing experience in advisable but we are able to instruct people who have no climbing skills and lead them to the summit. Our climbing guide will give you the instruction of climbing and will safely lead you to the summit and back. The peak was first ascended in 1956 by a Swiss expedition team for training before climbing Lhoste and Mt. Everest.
An adventure ascend to 6189 m in 6h
Start with tents at the foot of the mountain
During the trip, our tents are set in the Island Peak Base Camp as there is no water in the high camp. Next day, in the morning, we leave the Island Peak Base Camp and set for the summit. The ascent will take about 5-6 hours and the descent 4-5 hours. The summit day could be a bit challenging but you will find it worth the effort once you are in summit and see the closest view of the mountains including Mt. Everest, Lhoste and many other peaks. Mt. Everest is only 10 km away from the Island Peak. The following itinerary can be customized if you want to do the Everest Base Camp trek during your trip to Island Peak.
