Island Peak expedition in Nepal

Island Peak Expedition is an admired peak expedition experience in the trek to Everest basecamp. Rising 6,189m above the sea level, Island peak (also known as Imja Tse) is beautifully located in the middle of Chhukung valley, on top of the Chhukung Glacier between Mt. Lhotse and Ama Dablam. This peak, coming down as an extension of the ridge from Lhotse sits like an island in the sea of ice. Therefore, it was named Island Peak by a climbing team of Eric Shipton in 1953. This peak is the best trekking peaks for adventure climbing.
33 peaks in Nepal are officially opened as trekking peaks. Among them, Island Peak climbing is considered the most enlivening experience as this 250m rope climb to the apex not just offers spectacular views of the Himalayan range but also the pristine culture, tradition, and religion of the Sherpa people en route. The Island Peak summit offers a majestic view of peaks like Nuptse, Lhotse, Lhotse Middle, and Lhotse Shar (all over 8000m) forming a semi circle in the north while Mt. Makalu greets you in the east and Baruntse and Ama Dablam in the south. The trail also offers an exclusive opportunity to experience glacial moraines (Imja and Lhotse), suspension bridges, monasteries, prayer rocks, colorful settlements decorated with flags, and Sagarmatha National Park that features varieties of rare flora, fauna and birds. In addition to this, the warm hospitality offered by the Sherpa people makes the trail more enjoyable.


Moreover, if you are looking to get the best value for your money, then there are two best times to climb Island peak: mid March-May (Spring) and mid September-November (Autumn), as the weather is comparatively warm and the view of the mountains is crystal clear. If you are planning your trek in winter (December-February), be ready to bear the chilling cold.

Trekking in Nepal


Nepal is sometimes bypassed by travelers because they figure it’s an extension of India; it’s not. Nepal has a beautiful, fascinating, long history. The Nepalese are incredibly friendly and fun — learn a bit of Nepali and they will love you for it. Nepal is a Mecca for outdoorsy type travelers because of the Himalayan Mountains that offer up some of the best trekking opportunities in Asia. In fact, Nepal boasts eight of the 10 highest peaks in the world. The country is generally safe (check out the political situation with the Maoists, it can change rapidly) and Nepal attracts both outdoorsy types and volunteers in equal measure. The power situation makes working remotely from Nepal tricky (there can be as few as eight hours of power every day)

          As one of the top activities in Nepal, there are a handful of specific issues directly in and related to your trek. A key concern is the impact trekkers have on the     remote mountain environments during their trek. Trekkers should plan on keeping their waste to an absolute minimum. This includes packaging from food or items       you’ve packed, as well as plastic water bottles. All trash has to be burned (not ideal) or carried off of the mountain. Do your part and carry a reusable bottle and a Ste Ripen or Life Straw for your trip.

    Lighten your load on your trek. Carry the lightest pack possible and leave behind all the nonessential. Some trekkers will pay their porters to carry a heavier load    and this is poor practice. The porters may accept the extra fee, but they are risking their livelihoods by trekking overloaded. General guidelines are 6-7 kilos per    person, with a porter carrying max 12.5 kilos. Stick to this limit — you won’t need the extra clothes you’re over-packing anyway. To that end, ensure you are paying    fair wages to all porters and guides. One of the most compelling reasons to support tourism in the Himalayas is the positive impact it has bringing money into rural   communities. Don’t haggle too much and ensure you are tipping and spreading money around fairly.
