At the Challenging grade, Island Peak and Lobuche
Peak are two of the most popular trekking peaks in Northern Nepal. They are both considered the hardest trekking
peaks in the Everest Region. Island andLobuche East Peak climbing combines the ascent of two peaks in the Everest
Region. Lobuche East is probably one of the most challenging ‘trekkers peaks’
in the Everest region whereas Island Peak (6,189m) is the most popular.
Lobuche East is at an elevation of (6119m/20,070ft).
Among all the trekking peaks of Nepal Lobuche East is the most technical
trekking peak. Lobuche East climbing requires advanced knowledge and skills,
such as using descended on fixed lines, fixing ropes using ice screws and
pickets and the proper use of an ice axe. There are some steep, slippery rock
slabs and snow slopes along the route. You are required to have advanced rock
climbing skills that include traditional lead climbing, proper ice axe and
crampons, moderately advanced movement skills and knowledge of abseiling.
IslandPeak climbing Imja Tse is famous in the Solukhumbu
district of the Khumbu region. The mountain was first climbed in 1953 by a team
that was preparing for an Everest ascent. Today it is still used by many to
prepare for Everest or other high peaks in the region. It is one of the most
highly sought after peaks in the world. Island Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp trek project is
intended to carry out both trekkingand peak climbing in Nepal for all
adventure lovers. Each year more than 300 groups make an effort to scale the
summit of Island peak. This trek offers an excellent opportunity to climb this
interesting peak together with an exciting trek to the Everest Base Camp and
Kala Pattar. Besides the adventure trekking, we also get an opportunity to
witness the Sherpa villages and ever-so-serene monasteries. With tedious
recollections of the trekking earlier done, we retrace our route back through
Namche to Lukla, and then fly back to Kathmandu.
Everest Base Camp Trek with Island peak climbing
fulfils the dream of every climber who seeks for adventure and thrill along
with the trekking journey to the apex touching mountains. Talking about Island
peak climbing, it is mostly not so technical and can be performed by anyone
with basic snow climbing skill and high altitude endurance capacity.
