Island Peak, known locally as Imja Tse, is a spectacular peak among the giants of the Himalayas. A beautiful mountain in the Chukkung Valley. This mountain is surrounded on both sides by the magnificent Lhotse/Nuptse South Wall to the north and Baruntse to the south, so it looks like an island. This mountain offers amazing views and getting there is an airy ridge climb that makes the climb even more memorable. You may be able to fulfill your dream of climbing a technical 6000-meter Himalayan summit if you climb this famous mountain. Hillary and Tenzing used it as a training peak in 1953 and today, the same route they found is used. Many of the skills necessary to climb Everest – including crossing crevasses with ladders and using ropes on fixed lines – still apply to Island Peak.
Island Peak is a challenging climb, but if you are physically fit, we will be able to get you to the top. This is a great challenge if you have already trekked to altitude. Because you are trekking up rough terrain at over 5000m, the first part of the ascent is physically challenging. However, this part is definitely not technical. Once you reach the glacier field, you will need to rope up and wear crampons. There is a risk of falling into snow-covered crevasses throughout this section. Ladders will be strapped across these crevasses. It may seem overwhelming, but you will be on safety lines at all times. Finally, you reach the foot of the headwall. Since the ascent is steep and the air is thin, this part of the climb is the most challenging. There are fixed lines to make the climbing route safe, but it will take a lot of strength and determination to reach the summit ridge. The ascent from the summit ridge to the top is relatively straightforward. It is ideal for trekkers who have some experience trekking in high altitudes and using fixed ropes and crampons. This is not essential as training will be provided.
A SUMMARIZED ITINERARY FOR ISLAND PEAK
Island Peak expeditions last at least 19 days. We recommend allowing extra time for possible flight delays when entering and leaving the mountains. It allows for excellent acclimatization as the Khumbu valley three passes are gradually climbed, and a climb to Chukhung Ri (5550m) will provide the most spectacular views of Lhotse’s south wall. In addition, there is the option (see cost tab) of adding on an adventure up the Kongma La pass for classic views of Khumbu Glacier and an ascent of Pokalde (5806m).
The Ncell sim card is perfect for Everest base camp island peak camp, and you can get one from any shop in Kathmandu. Ncell sim network reception is almost everywhere except for Gokyo Lake.
Island peak and EBC
Reuben is my name, and I have been working in tourism since 1984. It is my second time working with Himal to organize my entire trip. One word describes it all: EXCELLENT. He is a great professional. Everything was well organized when climbing Island Peak. If you are planning a Nepal trip, this is the company to work with.
Fantastic views of Three Passes & Island Peak
Nepal Wilderness Trekking was fantastic. They provided pick-up from the airport, accommodation before the trek, flights to Lukla, and an awesome 21-day trek through three passes, into Everest base camp, and then on to the summit of Island Peak – highly recommend!
