Island Peak climbing - 21 days

Island Peak at 6169 meter height is also known as Imja Tse and is one of the popular trekking peaks of Nepal for climbing on Himalayas. From Dingboche the view of this peak gives an impression of an island in a sea of ice. Imja Tse does not only provide an enjoyable climb but also present some of the most spectacular scenery of Himalayas in Khumbu region. Seen from the summit the giant mountains/ Everest , Nuptse (7,879m), Lhotse (8,516m), Lhotse Middle Peak (8,410m) and Lhotse Shar (8,383m) make a semi circle in the north. The views of Makalu (8463m) in the east, Baruntse and Amadablam in the south add more charm in climbing Island Peak. For many mountaineers climbing Island Peak marks the beginning of climbing preparation for a bigger Himalaya expedition in Nepal in later years. For some mountaineers the peak stands for the purpose of acclimatization before heading to bigger mountain climbing. Trekking to Kalapatthar or Everest base camp is most suitable for acclimatization before proceeding on to Island Peak climbing.

The normal route for climbing Island Peak is South East Flank & South-West Ridge with the Island Peak base camp set at Pareshaya Gyab (5,087m), between Imja Tse and the lateral moraine of the Imja Glacier. Proper care should be taken to avoid the possible avalanche in the event of heavy snow fall. From the base camp, a well acclimatized party in good conditions can make the summit and return to the base camp in a day. However, most of the climbers prefer alpine style camping at high camp which adds the joy of climbing and helps a safe ascent.
