Also known as Imja Tse in the Sherpa language, the beautiful island peak is situated in the Khumbu region.

It was named Island Peak by Sir Eric Shipton and it falls under the Sagarmatha National Park region, the biggest national park in the country.The Island Peak is an extension of a peak coming down from the southern side of Lhotse Sar. The first successful expedition was made by a expedition group from Switzerland in 1956 AD as a practice before climbing Mount Everest. For more than ten years, Island Peak has remained the favorite choice among mountaineers and trekkers alike. it is a perfect trekking peak to climb if you are looking for just the right balance of fun and adventure. Reaching the top of Island Peak is an incredibly gratifying moment as we will be able to see the majestic view of the Himalayan Shangri La, the whole mountain ranges of the Khumbu region. The substitute route to reach the top of the peak is from High Camp which is situated at height of 5,600m. The peak is the most noteworthy trekking peak in whole eastern Himalayan range due to its glaciated west face rising from the very big Lhotse Glacier.The campaign to climb Island Peak will be around 21days long and the point of highest altitude during the trek will be 6,160m the height of the peak itself. The nights will be spent in camps, motels and teahouses depending on the region. On average, we will walk around seven hours per day and on some days the hours will be extended to up to eight hours. We will cover a distance of 10 kilometers on average per day. Before climbing the Island Peak we will trek through two iconic destinations in the Everest region, Everest Base Camp at an altitude of 5,078m and Kala Paththar. From here, we can have the most magnificent view of the Mount Everest and other 8,000m above peaks like Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Mt Cho Oyu among others.The most optimum season for Island Peak climbing is in autumn (September and November) and in spring (April and May).
