Island Peak Climbing
Locally known as Imja Tse, a spectacular peak amid the giants of the Himalaya
The government of Nepal officially allowed the permit for 33 peaks of Nepal that can be climbed. Island Peak (6192 m.) is the most famous and beautiful peak. There is no season restriction for climbing at this peak as it is open for all the seasons around the year. The spike in local people is famous as an Imja Tse peak.
The British team successfully climbed this Island peak in 1953, and since then, numerous climbers have completed the summit of Island Peak Climbing. The major attractions and reasons behind the Island peak climbing are that climbing at this peak is considered the acclimatization peak before climbing the higher mountains. Island Peak climbing starts from the Island Peak Base camp. The itinerary of Island Peak Climbing follows the Everest Base Camp Trek.
