    Island Peak, also known as Imja Tse, is a summit located in the Khumbu region, first climbed in 1956 by a Swiss team during a training exercise in preparation for Mount Everest. It was named Island Peak because, from the village of Dingboche, the peak appears like an island amidst a sea of ice. It is one of Nepal’s most popular “trekking peaks.”

    To climb Island Peak, you can start from the base camp located at 5,087 meters, known as Pareshaya Gyab, and begin the ascent between 2 and 3 a.m. Another option is to ascend to the High Camp, situated at around 5,600 meters, to minimize the physical effort and shorten the time required to reach the summit. While technically not difficult, this trekking peak is demanding and requires excellent physical fitness.

    Once you reach the summit, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of Ama Dablam, Makalu, Baruntse, and Lhotse. This wonderful itinerary offers a taste of what a full expedition feels like!
