Island Peak climbing is the most popular trekking peak in Nepal. Island peak climbing with Everest base camp trekking is a wonderful adventurous trip. The local name of this peak is Imja Tse. It is an isolated peak in Chhukung valley. Actually, this peak is an extension of Mt. Lhotse Shar and is located between Mt Lhotse and Imja glaciers.  It involves one steep and exposed 100 m ice or snow climb, otherwise a nontechnical snow climb. Although the summit(6189m) can be reached on a single day, we stay at high camp one night at its southwest ridge to ensure success.

Island peak climbing this peak offers stunning views of the huge south face of Mt. Lhotse (8,501m), Nuptse (7,879m), Lhotse Middle Peak (8,410m), and Lhotse Shar (8,383m) in the north, Mt. Makalu (8475m) and Mt. Amadablam (6856m) in the east with beautiful sight Khumbu region and Chhukung valley. On this trip, first of all, we trek first towards Everest Base Camp, Kalapathar then goes to Chhukung valley and start climbing. For climbing this peak it does not compulsory to have formal climbing training. Any trekkers with good physical health can easily do it.
