Island Peak Climbing Nepal


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.
