Tour Details

On your Island Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp, you will not only reach the summit of the magnificent Peak but also experience trekking in the most coveted Everest region. It is also known as Imja Tse by the Nepalese is a popular choice among novice climbers who wish to begin their mountaineering journey by summiting Island Peak and then move on to other peaks. The mountain was named “Island Peak” in 1952 A.D. due to its striking location in the middle of the Chhukung Valley, like an island on a sea of ice. Island Peak has an impressive, highly glaciated west face that rises from the Lhotse Glacier which is a bit tough to do however, the magnificent views from the summit are certainly a fitting reward for your efforts.
