Island Peak / Imja Tse (6160m.)
Nepal's one of the most popular trekking peak situauted in Khumbu region. The peak can be seen from Dingboche as an island in the sea of ice. The summit is interesting and attractive with a highly glaciated west face rising from the Lhotse Glacier. The ridge rising to the south from this point leads to the summit of Island Peak. The extension of this ridge descending southwest is the part of the normal route of ascent and leads to the South Summit. It is a more technical climb, involving scramble up a rock gully and an easy rock ridge, to a glacier. Above the glacier, a steep snow headwall leads to the summit ridge, which continues, in an incredibly exposed position, to the summit.
It provides an enjoyable climb as well as some of the most spectacular sceneries of Himalayas in the Khumbu region. After the climb we descend to the main Everest trail.
