Island Peak climbing offers an excellent opportunity to climb a Himalayan Summit 6173m together with an exhilarating Trek to the Everest Base Camp and Kala Pattar. Island Peak climbing is the most popular climbing peak in Nepal. From Dingboche the mountain is seen as an island in a sea of ice. The summit is interesting and attractive with a highly glaciated west face rising from the Lhotse Glacier.The mountain itself is the extension of the South Ridge of Lhotse Shar separated by a small col. Imja Tse not only provides an enjoyable climb but also provides some of the most spectacular scenery of Himalayas in the Khumbu region. Seen from the summit the giant mountains, Nuptse (7,879m), Lhotse (8,501m), Lhotse Middle Peak (8,410m) and Lhotse Shar (8,383m) make a semi circle in the north. The views of Makalu (8475m) in the east, Baruntse and Amadablam in the south add more charm for climbing Island Peak.
We will have a overnight in the camp that will be set on the south west of the Khumbu region and the next day we make exciting adventure to scale 20,305 ft) of the summit. The approach to the region presents the very gigantic views of Solukbumbu region including Mt Everest, Makalu, and Lhotse.
