Island Peak Climbing
We have the opportunity of conquering Island peak,
Imjatese Peak (6200 m). Whilst imjatese peak well within the
capabilities of any fit and determined hill walker but it can be
demanding and it requires some basic climbing experience.
Our adventure begins with a short
flight to Lukla and two days of easy walking to Namche Bazaar. On the
way up, there is also time to explore this magnificent valley towards
the fourth and fifth lake and submit some of the nameless peaks, for the
best view of Everest in the whole of the Khumbu Valley.
Our camp at Gorakshep (5160 m) provides
time to walk up to Kalapatter (5545 m) for the classic views of
Everest's Southwest face, Lhotse, Nuptse and Khumbu icefall. The trek
descends through the Khumbu classic route via Thyangboche, Namche, to
Lukla to fly back to Katmandu the following day.
