Island Peak Trek
is for people who have had previous walking experience, such
as winter walking in Scotland, using ice axe and crampons.
For people that are doing the Island Peak trek, we will have

as part of the itinerary while on trek. After returning from
Kala Pattar, we head up the Imje Khola Valley to Island Peak,
following the river. After passing the Lhotse and Imja glaciers
we reach Island peak trek base camp before our climb up to
Imja Tse (Island Peak 6189 m). IslThe
views on the Island Peak trek are remarkable, with the whole
of the Khumbu mountains spread out before you. |
