Island peak 6189 m

Date Published

Island Peak (6,189m), also known as Imja Tse, is one of the most popular trekking peaks in the Everest region of Nepal. Named "Island Peak" because it appears like an island in a sea of ice when viewed from Dingboche, it offers an excellent introduction to Himalayan mountaineering. The climb is moderately challenging, with a steep final ice slope and a short section of rope work, making it ideal for climbers with some basic training. The ascent rewards you with breathtaking views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. Often combined with the Everest Base Camp trek, Island Peak is a thrilling adventure for those looking to go beyond trekking into the world of climbing.
