The Island Peak Trek is for people who have had previous walking experience,
such as winter walking in Scotland, using ice axe and crampons. For people that
are doing the Island Peak trek, we will have a day of training in the basic
techniques that you will need, as part of the itinerary while on trek. After
returning from Kala Pattar, we head up the Imje Khola Valley to Island Peak,
following the river. After passing the Lhotse and Imja glaciers we reach Island
peak trek base camp before our climb up to Imja Tse (Island Peak 6189 m). IslThe
views on the Island Peak trek are remarkable, with the whole of the Khumbu
mountains spread out before you.
The Island Peak Trek is the most popular trekking peak in Nepal. From Dingboche
the mountain is seen as an island in a sea of ice. The summit is interesting and
attractive with a highly glaciated west face rising from the Lhotse Glacier. The
mountain itself is the extension of the South Ridge of Lhotse Shar separated by
a small col.The Island Peak Trek not only provides an enjoyable climb but also
provides some of the most spectacular scenery of the Himalayas. Seen from the
summit of Island peak, the giant mountains, Nuptse (7,879m), Lhotse (8,501m),
Lhotse Middle Peak (8,410m) and Lhotse Shar (8,383m) make a semi circle in the
north. The views of Makalu (8475m) in the east, Baruntse and Amadablam in the
south are never to be forgotten. |
