Mt Island Peak Climb
Island peak, another name Imja Tse (6173m) looks like an island in a sea of ice that’s why somehow it’s called island peak. It’s situated at the top of the Imja Khola valley in the Khumbu region. To climb the island peak is technical and straightforward so that the climber must use the component of climbing materials like ice axe and crampons. The most difficult section is a mixed rock and ice wall at the slope of around 45 degrees leading to the narrow summit ridge. Our trek will begin after our 30 minutes flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and it will continually go up to Chukung valley passing through very beautiful Sherpa villages.
