Located on top of the Chukung glacier between Ama Dablam & Lhotse Mountains, Island Peak is the most sought after trekking destination because of its challenging geographical conditions. Each year more than 300 groups attempt to scale the summit of Island peak. This trek offers an excellent opportunity to climb a Himalayan Summit 6,173m together with an exhilarating Trek to the Everest Base Camp & Kala Pattar. The most difficult section is a mixed rock & ice wall at a slope of around 45 degrees leading to the narrow summit ridge.
The magnificent views from the summit, however, are certainly a fitting reward for your efforts. Before climbing Island Peak, we trek up the Dudh Kosi valley from Lukla, passing through Namche & Tengboche on our way to Kala Pattar & Everest Base Camp. After being well rested & feeling physically fit as well as acclimatised, we then head up the beautiful Imja Khola valley towards Island Peak. Besides trekking adventure, we also get to witness pristine Sherpa villages & ever-so-serene Monasteries. With ponderous memories of the trekking earlier done, we retrace our route back through Namche to Lukla, from there on we fly back to Kathmandu. This trip can be done during March to May or September to December.
A physically fit & acclimatised person is well qualified to make an ascent over this Peak.
