AMAZING FACTS ABOUT THE TRIP

A Trekking Peak with a Real Summit Feel

Island Peak (Imja Tse) was named by early explorers because it appeared as an island in a sea of ice. It requires fixed ropes and basic mountaineering skills on the final headwall.

The summit offers views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Nuptse, four of the world's fourteen 8,000-metre peaks, all visible in a single panorama.

Summiting Island Peak was the best day of my life

An incredible combination of the EBC trek and a real climb. Our climbing guide was extremely safety-conscious and the summit views of Lhotse and Makalu were unreal.
