Island Peak Climbing

Island Peak is the most sought after trekking destination because of its challenging geographical conditions.This trek offers an excellent opportunity to climb to a Himalayan summit [6173m]. The most difficult section is a mixed rock and ice wall at a slope of around 45 degrees leading to the narrow summit ridge.
Before climbing Island Peak, you trek up the Dudh Kosi valley from Lukla, passing through Namche and Tengboche on our way to Kala Pattar and Everest Base Camp. After acclimatizing, we trek up the beautiful Imja Khola valley towards Island Peak.
