Island Peak is 6187 metres high and one of the most popular achievable peaks in Nepal. Also known as Imja Tse, It lies in the Khumbu Himalayan range and can be climbed without any mountaineering experience. Our professionally designed itinerary offers you a couple of days extra to get acclimatized.

We head for our Wild Spirit adventure at Island Peak after attending a climbing practice course which is briefed and instructed by our Climbing Sherpa on the various aspects of climbing techniques. Your effort to summit the peak will be rewarded with probably one of the best panoramic views in the world as you look over Lhotse, Nuptse, Baruntse, Ama Dablam and Makalu. These magnificent mountains appear so close in the clear Alpine and are a photographers dream.

During the descent, our route takes us into many cultural sites, such as Pangboche, a traditional Sherpa village; Tangboche, famous for its ornately decorated Tibetan monasteries and Khumjung with the Sir Edmund Hillary school inside the clouds and mysterious Yeti scalp.

This is a trek of a lifetime and offers the Wild Spirit Adventurer the opportunity to trek and climb in the one tour. Options are available such as a side trek to Everest Base Camp (4 days extra required and additional costs)
