The Island
Peak Trek
is for people
who have had previous walking experience, such as winter
walking in Scotland, using ice axe and crampons. For
people that are doing the Island Peak trek, we will have a
day of training in the basic techniques that you will
need, as part of the itinerary while on trek. After
returning from Kala Pattar, we head up the Imje Khola
Valley to Island Peak, following the river. After passing
the Lhotse and Imja glaciers we reach Island peak trek
base camp before our climb up to Imja Tse (Island Peak
6189 m). IslThe views on the Island Peak trek are
remarkable, with the whole of the Khumbu mountains spread
out before you.
The Island Peak Trek is the most popular trekking
peak in Nepal. From Dingboche the mountain is seen as an island in a sea
of ice. The summit is interesting and attractive with a highly glaciated
west face rising from the Lhotse Glacier. The mountain itself is the
extension of the South Ridge of Lhotse Shar separated by a small col.The Island Peak Trek
not only provides an enjoyable climb but also provides some of the most
spectacular scenery of the Himalayas. Seen from the summit of Island
peak, the giant mountains, Nuptse (7,879m), Lhotse (8,501m), Lhotse
Middle Peak (8,410m) and Lhotse Shar (8,383m) make a semi circle in the
north. The views of Makalu (8475m) in the east, Baruntse and Amadablam
in the south are never to be forgotten.
