Trip Highlights
Island Peak climbing, which stands tall at an elevation of 6,198m, is the most popular climbing peak in Nepal among 326 peaks currently permitted for climbing and mountaineering. Also known as the Imja Tse in the local Sherpa language, the peak is situated between the picturesque Khumbu region and Imsa Tse Valley. The mountain was named Island Peak by celebrated British mountaineer, Sir Eric Shipton as it looks like an island from afar amidst the icy alpine water.Located in the Sagarmatha National Park, Island Peak climbing is an extension of a peak coming down from the southern face of Mt. Lhotse Shar. Its first successful expedition was carried out in 1956 by a Swiss expedition group as a practice climb before ascending Mt Everest. Since then it has been a favorite as a go-to peak among mountaineers and climbers alike. The peak is described as a perfect climbing peak if you are looking for a perfect strike of balance between fun, adventure, and adrenaline rush.From the top of Island Peak, we can have the most amazing views of the mountain ranges of the Khumbu region.

The amount of oxygen is low so, many climbers generally have a hard time breathing and are prone to AMS. Apart from that, your skin can get sunburned if you don’t apply sunblock or wear protective clothing.
It depends on the peak that you choose and also the condition of the weather. Generally, it requires one or two days to summit the peak. Some other factors such as peak elevation and location might also affect the time to reach the summit.

Your major source of drinking water is bottled water. Apart from that, purified and filtered and boiled water is available in the teahouses and lodges.
The amount of oxygen is low so, many climbers generally have a hard time breathing and are prone to AMS. Apart from that, your skin can get sunburned if you don’t apply sunblock or wear protective clothing.
It depends on the peak that you choose and also the condition of the weather. Generally, it requires one or two days to summit the peak. Some other factors such as peak elevation and location might also affect the time to reach the summit.
There is always a first time for everything and climbing a mountain can be one of the best things to try for the first time. There are various options of non-technical peaks that can be attempted by novice climber. Our guides will lead you and train you, if necessary, for reaching the summit.
The uncertain weather and geographic layout of the mountains make the climb difficult. This means some peaks require high technical skills whereas others require no technical skills at all.
In teahouses and lodges, you will get a variety of dishes including soups, continental dishes, etc. While on the remote regions, Nepali Dal Bhat and noodle soups are available. And on the base camps and during the summit, a Sherpa guide will prepare dry meals for you.

For comfortable journey shoes have thick soles will help you a lot. As there are lots of rocky and steep trails, getting a specific trekking shoe would be a wise idea. However, on snow routes, you will need crampons, ice-ax and another climbing harness.
Most of the popular trails have local VHF Phones but, in remote and isolated regions the communication is limited or not available at all. So, in these cases, a satellite phone is required for communication.

Truly the best mountaineering experience ever of my life time adventure, it was harder than I expected. But made it the top, the weather was fine and clear in the early morning of May. Probably the best and right time to choose for the climb I felt like standing on top of the world. Overlooking stunning views of giant peaks that surrounded the summit of Island Peak facing view of Mt. Everest, Lhotse and
Mt. Makalu. The whole credit to our successful climb goes to our expert guide who make the whole trip enjoyable. Always supportive taking care of the whole group and making the climb much accessible through his guidance.
Thanks to Team Himalaya and all trekking, camping staff, porters and to cheerful strong porters, and our good guide.
