Island Peak (6160m/20211ft) which is also known as the Imja Tse in the local tongue, is one of the famous trekking peaks of Nepal which lies in the Everest region, known as the home of the highest peak on Earth.

Island Peak is the first choice of the peak for both those who want to do more than just a trek to Everest Base camp and for those who want to train a bit before progressing to other higher peaks around the region. The Peak got its name an Island Peak in 1953 by the British expedition group heading for the Mount Everest expedition, as it looks like an Island covered with Snow of Sea.

The climbing expedition not just provides the unique experience of mountaineering but also provides an opportunity to experience the typical Sherpa people, their age-old Culture, religion, and traditions while heading towards its base. Furthermore, during the expedition season, we could have a chance to scale the Island Peak with the Everest Summiteers, as this peak is also used by the Everest summiteers as acclimatization day and also as a training peak before the summit.

The hypnotized views from the summit of the Island peak include Mount Nuptse, Lhotse, Makalu, and Ama Dablam, and also the Imja Lake along with a beautiful valley down below the peak will be once in a lifetime experience. No words will utter the beauty of nature viewed from the summit.

Discover Altitude has a specially designed Island Peak Climbing Itinerary with regular updates of island peak climbing in every autumn and spring season by our professional staff to make sure success. we are able to design the itinerary for each different individual depending on their experience, fitness.

Regarding the Island Peak Climbing with EBC Trek Cost, it varies on the number of days and also the number of trekkers. The itinerary can be customized according to the limitation of your time and interest so, please feel free to inquire us for more details and queries regarding the Peak.

      Useful Info

      Although it differs from each individual choices and interests. the list of equipment below is a general idea that provides some guidelines for gear to bring during your trek and for climbing.

      Bringing clothes during the trek is all about how long you can go with smelly clothes vs how often you want to change clean clothes. However, we advise you to bring sufficient and warm enough clothes fit for much colder weather as mountain weather is always unpredictable and especially for summiting mountains. just for a reminder, you can buy all these gears in Kathmandu as well.

      Trekking equipment

      duffel bag

      you need a duffel bag that is supposed to be waterproof with a strap along with a TSA lock. in your duffel bag, you keep all the clothes and essentials gear while trekking up to the island peak base camp which will be carried by our porter. Regarding the size, you can choose from 100 liters to 140 liters duffel as this size all you to fit most of the things you need for trekking.

      Sleeping bag

      it is the most important piece of equipment for trekking and climbing. Normally the smaller and lighter the size, the more expensive it is. Regarding the warmth of sleeping bags, down sleeping bags are warmer than synthetic ones. you need to bring the sleeping bag that rates up to -20c and a liner just in case it feels colder.

      Daypack bag

      it's a daypack bag that you carry while waking where you put your wallet, camera, water bottle, rain cover, fleece jacket, and windproof jacket. Regarding the size of the daypack bag, the size of a small-medium 30 to 40-liters day bag with some side pockets where you can fit your water bottle or gloves is good. Moreover, if you can fit your Camelbak in your daily carry it is more efficient in the coldest weather as your water doesn't get freeze.

      Water bottle

      You can bring two water bottles in which you can drink in one and treat water in another to refill again. (Nalgene water bottle is good as you can put hot water as well if you want) you also can bring Camelbak which can be very handy for climbing.

      • lip bam
      • Sunscreens (minimum of SPF 40 plus as in higher altitude sunlight are direct and more penetrating.

      Where can I start? We booked this trip on very short notice. The 15-day trek of Everest Base camp and Gokyo lakes with Cholo pass.
      Our guide was the amazing Bikram Khadka or as we called him BK Daai (Dai meaning older brother).

      We met Kumar, Santosh & BK Dai in Thamel, Kathmandu, a couple of days before. Spoke over the plan and what to expect on the trek, including potential altitude sickness, and paid the rest of what we owed, (paying the deposit while we were still in the UK). BK dai also helped us get little bits and bobs from Kathmandu for our trek, like renting sleeping bags, etc., which was helpful.

      We knew we were in the monsoon season, so we knew what to expect. In Kathmandu, our flight to Lukla was delayed, with BK Dai worrying we might have to get it. Luckily, after about a 2-hour wait, we were lucky, and our flight went through, luck being the keyword for our whole trip.

      On our trek, BK Dai had us put in the best available room, where available and made sure we were extremely comfortable (it being off-season helped with this as more availability).

      The hike from Lukla to Phakding was hard, in the heat, but we made it in 3 hours. Had a sleep at a really nice hotel. The next day we left around 7 am (the usual time we started hiking throughout the whole trip) and made our way to Namche Bazaar. He made sure we were okay all the way through, explained interesting facts and points throughout the trip, and most importantly thing, made us laugh all the way through this trip. In Namche, we stayed at the Footrest Lodge, where he introduced us to his friend Gopal, an amazing and hard-working person. We stayed there 2 nights to acclimatize. After the first night, we had a clear morning, and BK Dai woke us up at around 5:30 am to take us to our first and only sighting of Everest, which was amazing. Due to the clouds, throughout the trip it was difficult. That was BK Dai, he always woke up early to see how the weather was and made sure we got the best things to see.

      Our initial plan was to go to Gokyo first and then to Everest Base Camp, but BK dai recommended, we should do the Everest Base Camp first, as Gokyo Lake/Cholo pass is extremely difficult, which it was (not for the faint-hearted, but amazingly rewarding).
      We agreed and went on the route to Everest.

      We made our way up the trek staying over in a couple of towns, stopping in Pheriche to acclimatise then Lobuche one night before we made it to Gorakshep. On the day we arrived at Gorakshep, we dropped our bags and went straight to Everest Base Camp, which was a tad bit treacherous, with land/rock slides and loose rocks being the path and nothing else. But, BK Dai knew exactly what and where he was going, which was comforting.

      The next day it was far too cloudy for Kalapatthar, so we headed back down to make our way to Gokyo Lakes. We stayed in Dzongla for the night and early next morning made our way to Gokyo Lakes through Chola Pass, and it was probably the hardest thing, way harder than the Everest Base Camp Trek. It was amazing, exciting, dangerous, and adrenaline-pumping. There were moments when we had to climb using ropes, walk over glaciers, encounter heavy snow, and the last 1 hour or so, vertically climb a cliff face. It was exhausting, but my god it was rewarding. Gokyo Lake was beautiful, but again, heavy clouds prevented us from going to Gokyo Ri.

      We were lucky many times throughout this trip, we never got altitude sickness, and as BK Dai always said, if you are hungry it's a good sign, which I was, all the time. We were also very lucky with the weather on some days, the views, the flight to Lukla & back. There were others we met going down, who didn't even see Everest or missed their flight and had to trek for 3 days and then get a jeep.

      Throughout this trip, we made many friends, clients from abroad, and guides and porters.

      BK dai to use was more than a guide, he was more than a friend, he was like our brother. I am not sure what this trip would have been like without him, he made it perfect and went beyond his work. From the bottom of my heart, I have nothing but love from him for making this amazing.

      It's incredible how much I miss him, all his stories, his jokes, his energetic personality.
      I can't wait to see him already.

      Thank you, I will never forget this in my lifetime.

      With a heartfelt love,

      Best place to assist trek

      I have completed 14 14-day Annapurna trek with Discover Altitude.
      I was born and raised up in a metropolitan. The materialist surroundings are around me from the day I opened my eyes. But, something was always lacking inside. Every single day, I wanted to go away from all this. Later on I explored that my inner being resided in nature i.e. mountains, Himalayan, forest, etc. Then I searched to go for a mountain expedition.

      In a random search, I contacted Discover Altitude and booked the earlier mentioned trek.
      Throughout the trek, the people from Discover Altitude were very cosy and friendly. Especially, Kumar sir and Basu swami were compassionate more than a human can be expected for. They behaved me not as client but as a friend whom they had known for a long. All the arrangements and the food they provided were very hygienic and according to my preference.
      Thanks to the whole team of Discover Altitude.

      2 day private tour Kathmandu

      To see and experience Kathmandu in just 2 days including a sunrise in the Himalayas and a slaughter ritual is a challenge. But with Kumar, it works in a relaxed atmosphere. He feels good where your interests lie. This makes the experience even more intense in a relaxed way.
      I can recommend him.
