Itinerary

Island Peak, or Imja Tse, offers an exhilarating climbing trek in Nepal’s Everest region, designed for young adults and experienced travelers seeking moderate adventure with a touch of technical challenge. The journey begins with a scenic flight to Lukla, followed by a gradual ascent through Sherpa villages and the famed Everest Base Camp trail. After acclimatizing at Dingboche, prepare for the final summit push—tackling technical sections en route to Island Peak’s panoramic vantage point. Revel in extraordinary views of Nuptse, Lhotse, Makalu, and Ama Dablam before descending along the same route to Lukla and flying back to Kathmandu. The unique selling point: this tour seamlessly combines classic trekking with the thrill of a Himalayan summit, and can be extended to include the Everest Base Camp trek for those hungry for more.

Amazing Island Peak Climb

I recently completed the Island Peak climbing expedition and it was nothing short of incredible! From the start to the summit, everything was well-organized, safe, and filled with unforgettable moments. Dendi, my guide, was an absolute star. His professionalism and experience were evident from day one. Not only did he guide me through the trek and the climb with expertise, but he also shared so much knowledge about the culture, the landscapes, and climbing techniques. His calm demeanor and encouragement, especially during the more challenging sections, gave me the confidence I needed to push through. Whether it was pacing ourselves on the way up, helping with gear, or ensuring we stayed safe on the glacier, Dendi was exceptional. Prakash, the manager and owner of this tour company, was also fantastic. From my first inquiry, he made the whole process so smooth. His communication was clear, and he made sure all my questions were answered promptly. I felt like I was in great hands from the get-go. The logistics of the trip, including permits, transportation, and accommodations, were all taken care of seamlessly. Prakash checked in regularly, which made me feel valued and well-supported throughout the experience. The Island Peak itself was a thrilling adventure. The beauty of the Khumbu region combined with the excitement of scaling a 6,000-meter peak made it one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The views from the summit were simply breathtaking – standing there with the mighty Everest in the backdrop was beyond words.

A dream come true!

The journey of the Island Peak was like a dream come true. Every step felt like a chapter of an exhilarating adventure tale. With my gear meticulously packed and permits in hand, I keenly anticipated the forthcoming challenges and rewards. The journey from Lukla to Island Peak Base Camp revealed the natural beauty and unique culture of the region. Every new encounter each day and laughter shared with guides and fellow trekkers forged bonds, fueling determination to reach higher heights of the Himalayas. Arriving at the Base Camp felt like reaching the doorstep of the new world, surrounded by the pristine snow-capped Himalayas. The night before the summit push was a symphony of stars and anticipation. With headlamps piercing the darkness, the team set out for the Island Peak summit in early dawn. Each climbing step felt like a victorious tread. I was prepared for the demands of the climbs, but the unpredictable weather conditions made each step a test of endurance and resilience. I realized there is no guarantee of weather stability in the high-altitude regions. In times of sudden climatic adversity, the expertise of guides with knowledge of terrain and weather patterns ensured our safety and progress. Their calm appearance and reassuring instructions kept me going. Finally, standing atop the Island Peak summit made me realize that I reached the pinnacle of my aspirations. The descent allowed me to reflect on the magnitude of my accomplishments. I felt like Island Peak tested my physical limits, pushed me beyond my comfort zone, and rewarded me with unbeatable beauty and connection. Bidding farewell to the mountain, I felt profound gratitude for the unforgettable experience. Despite the challenges we faced, the guide’s professionalism, commitment to excellence, and client safety shone even in the toughest circumstances. With the expert guidance and unwavering support of guides, the challenging climb turned into moments of triumph and inspiration. Climbing Island Peak was more than a mountaineering expedition. It was a journey of reaching new heights of self-discovery, camaraderie, and reverence for the natural world. I strongly recommend embarking on this remarkable journey for anyone with an adventurous spirit and a love for mountains. Thank you for organizing the trip from beginning to end and ensuring we were okay during the expedition. See you on our upcoming Nepal adventure trip.

EBC+Kalapatthar+Island Peak, awesome experience with Nepal Guide Treks&Expedition

Everest BaseCamp, Kala Patthar and Island Peak, and the whole trip was s success. I did have good trekking guide, who told a lot about the nature and people of Nepal and he was checking all the time that I was feeling good and everything was fine. My porter was strong and always smiling, and we did have good times at mountains. Weather was good, and we sucessfully climbed Island Peak (6189m) with my climbing guide, who made me feel that I was safe all the time. Huge thanks to Nepal Guide Treks&Expedition, Mr. Prakash the Team Leader/Boss, Mr. Pradip my trekking guide, Mr. Umesh my Porter And Mr. Da Kipa my climbing guide.
