Overview
Island Peak is one of the most popular climbing peaks in the Himalaya. The 6160 meters Peak is also known as Imja-Tse peak in local Sherpa dialect. Island was named so as it’s surrounded by many other peaks and the Island Peak soars in the middle like a beautiful island. It offers relatively easy climbing of one day from its advanced base returning to base camp after the summit in a day. This is suitable for beginner or fresh climbers or those who are looking for a warm-up place to prepare for bigger climbs like Everest, Amadablam or others. Island peak as it is situated in the lap of the renowned Everest region is combined with Everest base camp trek or Everest high pass trekking.
