Trip Overview

Island Peak Climbing is one of the most popular trekking peaks in Nepal, offering an exciting adventure for both novice and experienced climbers. Standing at 6,189 meters (20,305 feet), Island Peak, also known as Imja Tse, provides breathtaking views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and surrounding Himalayan giants. The climb is a perfect blend of trekking and mountaineering, making it an excellent choice for those looking to gain high-altitude experience. The journey takes you through the stunning Khumbu Valley, rich in Sherpa culture, Buddhist monasteries, and spectacular alpine landscapes.
