The Island Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp Trek is an expedition to climb one of the beautiful peaks in the periphery of the Everest Region. The peak, also known as the Imja Tse, is situated on the pinnacle of the Chukhung Glacier. The glacier connects Ama Dablam and the Lhotse peaks and is located such that the physical property has made the climbing tougher.
The Island Peak climb seems moderate and can be completed without much technical difficulty. The peak faces Nuptse, Lhotse, Lhotse Middle, and Lhotse Shar. On the summit, climbers can spot the Cho Polu (6,734 m) rising above the frozen waves of the Lhotse Shar glacier. Furthermore, if the weather conditions permit, Mt. Makalu (8,475m) is visible to the east. The name was given by Eric Shipton in 1951 because it reminded him of an island in a sea of ice. The climb to the Island Peak offers its visitor a chance to ascend one of the royal 6000-meter+ mountain peaks of the Great Himalayan Trails. This trip also offers you a chance to hike towards the Everest Base Camp and summit the 5545-meter-high Kala Patthar for one of the best view of Everest, Nuptse, and Changtse and also glimpses of the northern flank and summit of Lhotse.
You will get rewarded along the way as you hike up towards the top of the peak. The top offers fantastic views of the Dudh Koshi Valley down below and the panorama of peaks along the horizon. The months of April to May in the spring and October to November in autumn are considered the best seasons to summit the high peak of Imja Tse. During the peak climbing expedition, you will not only be blessed with the views, you will also be blessed with the culture and antiquity of the region. All along the way, you will be able to enjoy the Sherpa culture and tradition. Also, explore one of the oldest monasteries of the region, the Tengboche Monastery.
