Everest Base
Camp Trek/Island Peak (Imja Tse) - 6,189 m
Imja
Tse peak, at a height of 6,189meters, is more popularly
known by the name of Island Peak. Island Peak trip is
a special trek which combines an ascent of Island Peak
with a visit to the famous lakes of the Gokyo area. We
start from Lukla and trek slowly up the Dudh Kosi valley.
After a few days we branch off to Gokyo, and after climbing
Gokyo Ri for fantastic views of Cho Oyu and Everest we
cross the Cho La and descend to Dingboche to prepare for
the ascent of Island Peak.
Island Peak was the name given to the mountain in 1952
by Eric Shipton's party who thought it to be reminiscent
of an island in a sea of ice. It is also known by it's
Nepali name of Imja Tse. The mountain is an extension
of Lhotse Shar, and is located between the Lhotse and
Imja glaciers, standing at 6,189m/20,305ft.
We ascend by the standard route and although the summit
can be reached in one day from base camp, we make use
of a high camp. The final ridge is a classic of it's kind
and from the summit fabulous views can be enjoyed of many
Himalayan giants including the immense south face of Lhotse
and the huge peak of Ama Dablam. This trek is a fully
equipped camping trek with accommodation in two person
tents and food being cooked by our kitchen staff. Transport
to and from the Everest region is by air.
