The Island Peak climb is an extremely exciting and challenging ski mountaineering adventure that takes place high in the Everest Region of Nepal.

Climbing Island Peak, located southeast of Mount Everest, takes you to a world-class. The peak is part of the Khumbu Himal and is not more than 25 kilometers away from the highest and most elegant peak in the world. Island Peak climbing is graded as an easy trek, but being only an hour’s walk from base camp many walkers climb to the summit of Island peak.

 

Climbing Island Peak begins in the breathtaking, high-altitude grasslands of the Khumbu Valley. The journey takes climbers over ice flows and along sheer precipices to arrive at base camp, located at 17,800 feet. From there, it’s a three-day trek to the summit of Island Peak – one of the easiest peaks in the area and suitable for those with little mountaineering experience.

The Island Peak climbing expedition is quite a big undertaking. It’s a difficult hike, brings you to high altitudes, and culminates at the top of one of the most dangerous mountains in the world. Only concerned with safety? Island Peak climbing is also mentally and physically challenging since your surroundings are nothing short of spectacular. Some words to describe it–are challenging, adventurous, exciting, and rewarding!

Considered one of the most spectacular, yet dangerous treks in the world, Island Peak is a higher peak to test your climbing skills. With breathtaking views of mountain peaks and lush green forest, you will never want to forget your climb up Island.

We have a dedicated team of professional climbers on the ground in Nepal who maintain their mountain teams. Our Sherpa staff is experienced, trustworthy, and well-trained. Unlike many other companies who use low-quality Sherpa support, we only use INFRARED SAFETY VESTS which are designed to ensure that they cannot be dropped off the mountain undetected. Every climber carries a radio so that we can call them down at any time with an immediate evacuation should there be any sign of poor weather or other danger.

Island Peak is A new experience, New Adventure, and New challenge. Climb the most popular and most summited 6000M Peak in Nepal.

Why Island Peak is best? / What do we should have?

Island Peak Climbing is regarded as a physical challenge, however, it doesn’t require any technical experience, But still, you going to need a medically trained and experienced guide for your safety and comfort during this specific mountaineering.

We have experienced and professional trekking and climbing guides. As well as a skillful group leader to lead your trip to the summit of Island Peak.

Both experience and novice mountaineers can easily accomplish this amazing expedition of Island Peak Climbing, even though it will be easier for climbers or trekkers if they will take a climbing training course and learn some significant climbing skills and techniques before climbing.

These training courses will surely boost your confidence to scale the summit more efficiently and successfully.

You need oxygen for safety backup and a medical box for any problem that may arise.

Weather Condition in Everest

The best weather conditions in Everest is at the Season time. Generally there are two seasons with best weather that suits Trekking and Expedition trip. Autumn from October to December and Spring From March to May are the best time to go to Everest region. Most of the successful trips are done on this time. Winter is also a good time to go to Everest but it will be scary cold, drawbacks of doing Everest at the time of winter is that some of the passess will be covered by snow which make difficulty in recognising the trails at that time. The most dangerous time to do Trekking is at the time of monsoon. In monsoon season there will be risk of landslides.
