HIGHLIGHTS

Nepal's most popular climb.
Outstanding views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Makalu from the summit.
The perfect experience for adventurers!

The Imja Tse peak (6160 m), better known as Island Peak, is one of the most famous and certainly most invigorating trekking peaks in Nepal, and probably in the whole world. In 1953, Eric Shipton's group named it Island Peak since resembled an island in a sea of frost when seen from Dingboche. It will enthrall you with its fabulous natural scenery and most notably, you will get a great vantage point to stare in awe at the world’s highest peak- Mount Everest.

Enjoy stunning views of Himalayan greats such as Lhotse (8,501 m), Nuptse (7,879 m), Lhotse Shar (8,383 m), Makalu (8475 m), Lhotse Middle Peak (8,410 m) in the east, while Amadablam and Baruntse welcome you from the south as you reach the Imja Tse Peak.

The best season for climbing Island Peak is during the Spring season (March-May) and in autumn (Oct-Nov). Let us take you to Island Peak and its magnificent snowy west face that can be seen towering from the Lhotse Glacier. This trekking peak offers a memorable experience for adventure lovers.

Great Guide, Terrible Guide Company

The local guide was fantastic, but do NOT book through this website. Book in person and you will pay a third of the price.

A Bookmundi Travel Expert responded to this review: We are extremely sorry for the problems caused to you. In our 20 years of service we have never tried to compromise on our services. The price of any packages on our site is very competitive and worth every penny spent by our client. There must have been the misunderstanding. We are investigating the matter internally very exclusively. Please mail our management team and we will definitely come up with the best alternative solutions. Again we are extremely apologetic that your holiday is ruined because of small misunderstanding. Please let us serve you with more purpose next time.
