HIGHLIGHTS
  • Nepal's most popular trekking peak to climb.
  • Outstanding Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Makalu from the summit.
  • The perfect peak for adventurers!
The Imja Tse trekking peak (6160 m) is one of the most famous and certainly most invigorating trekking peaks in Nepal, and in the whole world. It is better known as Island Peak. Imja Tse 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.

Magnificent panorama views of Himalayan giants like 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, Amadablam and Baruntse in the south welcome you as you reach the Imja Tse Peak. Moreover, you will also pass the secluded Kongma La Pass and Chola pass. The best season for climbing Island Peak is during Spring (March-May) and autumn (Oct-Nov). In 1953, Eric Shipton's group named it Island Peak since it looks a lot like an island in a sea of frost when viewed from Dingboche. And it was only in 1983 that the peak was renamed Imja Tse.

To get to Island peak, you walk up the Dudh Koshi Valley from Lukla, walking through Namche and Tengboche, then to Kala Patthar and finally reach Everest Base Camp. From here, you will get extremely close-up views of Mt. Everest and a get to enjoy mesmerizing sunrise views over the snow-capped peaks on top of the Khumbu Glacier. Then, we descend to Chhukung and get ready for the challenging Island Peak climb. This trekking peak is suitable for adventurers who are adventurous and physically fit. No previous mountaineering experience is needed.

Let Unique Adventure to take you to Island Peak with its magnificent snowy west face towering from the Lhotse Glacier. This trekking peak offers a memorable experience for adventure fanatics.

GOOD TO KNOW
CANCELLATION

Free cancellation up to 60 days prior departure, after which the deposit becomes non-refundable.

Other Practical InformationNOTE: 1. Urgent Notice for Domestic Flights (To/From Lukla) The Government of Nepal has announced the halt of all flight operations from Kathmandu to Lukla, tentatively. Flights to Lukla have now been re-directed to Manthali airport in the district of Ramechhap which is 132 Km east of Kathmandu until further notice, to avoid the heavy traffic congestion at Kathmandu airport. The airport in Ramechhap physically sits in the Tamakoshi River Valley and is located 132 km from Kathmandu (an approximately 3-4 hours drive). However, the early morning flight which departs at 6 am in the morning from Kathmandu will be available throughout this period, subject to early bookings at least 6 months to 1 year in advance prior to all Everest trips, which can be tedious in the peak season periods of spring and autumn. This too, is not guaranteed due to inclement weather patterns in these climatic changing times. All other flights after 6 am to Lukla will only be available from the airport in Ramechhap. Other than this, optionally, helicopter arrangements can be made for 5 people on a sharing basis with an addition of USD 500 for a one way flight per person with an exclusive choice [only yours] to change your airplane flights to the helicopter. We will try to coordinate ways to form groups at the airport for this arrangement, but again, this too cannot be guaranteed, especially in peak season periods. The drive to Ramechhap and flight to Lukla is almost always guaranteed unless the flight is canceled due to bad weather conditions. Travelers are requested to advise us on your preferred alternatives for flights to/from Lukla if/when possible delays or disruptions occur. We would truly appreciate your patience to bear with us in the mentioned circumstances above. Climate change and our, should we say, blessed geographical conditions; which can be a monster when least expected, has become the relevant cause for this, making us victims of unseen circumstances beyond our control. Thank you so much for your kind understanding.
