Itinerary

If you’re seeking a true Himalayan adventure, the "Island Peak Climbing From Chhukung" tour is your ticket to summiting one of Nepal’s most iconic peaks in just four days. Tailored for young adults and aspiring mountaineers, this guided trip takes you from Chhukung to the awe-inspiring heights of Imja Tse—known as Island Peak for its solitary stance amid a sea of ice.

After meeting your team in Chhukung and receiving a comprehensive briefing, you’ll trek to Island Peak Base Camp with time to hone your mountaineering skills, including ice axe and rope techniques, and glacier walking. The climb itself is physically demanding but accessible, making it a fantastic stepping stone for those looking to build experience on a non-technical yet challenging ascent.

Reaching the summit rewards you with panoramic views of Himalayan giants like Nuptse, Lhotse, Makalu, Ama Dablam, and Baruntse—an unbeatable highlight for any climbing enthusiast. An extra day is built into the itinerary to account for weather, ensuring safety without sacrificing adventure. The unique selling point here? A condensed, skill-building mountaineering trip that delivers both technical growth and unforgettable vistas in Nepal’s legendary Khumbu region.

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
