Package Overview

Imja Tse (6169m.) popularly known as Island peak is one of the most popular lesser peaks, climbing on which demands some mountaineering skill. This trip takes you to the highest elevation of 6,069 meter through the Sherpa land offering spectacular views of Mt. Everest (8848m.), Lhotse (8516m), Ama Dablam (6856m.) and many more. Island peak climbing (6,169m.) is not just an adventurous peak climbing but perfect combination of peak climbing with famous Everest region trekking that can create in you a pleasant wave of internal felicity.

The trekking trail offers some of world famous monasteries at the highest altitude and an opportunity to experience the typical Tibetan culture as it takes you to the border of Tibet.

This trekking trip trail takes you all the way through the same usual route of Everest region trekking till your enter the Chhukung valley. Either you can fly with our 45 minutes of mountain flight from Katmandu to Lukla or drive to Jiri 184 km which will take about 7 hours which lies Eastward of Katmandu valley. Our trek starts from Lukla, and passing through the places like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Chhukung, Imja Glacier we approach the Base camp of Imja Tse or Island peak. From Chhukung we continue our trek in a general easterly direction to the site of your base camp (5,087m.) passing the moraine of the Lhotse glacier to the snout of the Imja glacier where it branches to the east and skirts around the base of Island Peak. We fix our main camp at a spot known as Pareshaya Gyab at 5,087m. Three days are set aside for the ascent of Imja Tse and follow the same route back to Katmandu. If you take one-way flight to Lukla, the whole trip will cover within 23 days and 16 days is enough if both way flights are taken. The best seasons to climb this peak are during September, October and November.

Day wise Itinerary

Day 1 :

We fly with our first mountain flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (2860m) which will take about 45 minutes then commence trek towards Pakding (2600m) which takes about 4 hours.
After a very early start and an early take off from Kathmandu Domestic Airport, a 45-minute flight is all it takes to propel into the Everest region of Nepal. The landings at Lukla (2800m) are spectacular and on arrival you will be greeted by trekking crew who organize the luggage and hustle you off for tea. After a leisurely lunch you will start the trek in earnest, setting off for a gentle walk to Pakding (2800m), a further 3 hours to the north. The trail leads through Lukla, past hotels, shops and airline offices to the edge of the Lukla plateau where the trail drops to meet the intersection of the Jiri trail at Chablung. From here the trail follows the Dudh Koshi north through the village of Ghat and then finally to Pakding where you should spend the first night.
Day 2 :

Trek from Pakding to Namche Bazaar (3446m) which will take about 6 hours.
From Pakding the trail continues north up the Dudh Koshi River Valley, staying 100m above the river on its West Bank. The trail leads to Jorsale (2810m) where you enter the Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park. From here you will continue on an ever-steeping trail to Namche Bazaar (3446m), known simply as Namche. In route you have to cross the spectacular suspension bridge high above the confluence of the Bhote Koshi and the Dudh Koshi, and shortly after you will have first glimpse of Mt. Everest, way off towards the northeast. The trail to Namche is steep and long, but eventually you will reach the remarkable Sherpa capital perched high on the hillside and dominated to the east by the immense bulk of Kwangde (6187m).
Day 3 :

We spend a day rest for acclimatization in Namche Bazaar.
Acclimatization is important before trekking higher and this is a scheduled stop, which will allow you to gradually become used to the effects of altitude - the lower pressure and the thinner air. You can spend the day by taking a side trip to Thame or Khumjung, by visiting the National Park Visitor Center on the hill above Namche or by simply resting and browsing in the shops in the town. Namche is a fascinating place simply to 'hang out' and take in the culture of the mountains, from the trading of visiting Tibetans to the stories of departing mountaineers.
Day 4 :

We continue our trek from Namche Bazaar to Tengboche (3,867m) which takes about 6½ hours.
From Namche you have to trek northeast on a direct line to Everest, starting up the hill to the Visitor Center and continuing on a reasonably flat easy trail high above the Dudh Koshi you reach Sanasa from where again you should branch off the trail and head up the hill to the small settlement of Phunki where you will stop for lunch. From here it is a steady descent passing through the picturesque water driven prayer you will reach a famous gompa in Tengboche. At the background of the gompa you can see one of the most beautiful mountains in the Khumbu - Ama Dablam (6856m), as well as Everest still far off in the distance. This is the place where you have to spend overnight.
