Island Peak

Introduction to Alpine Climbing

Island Peak (Imja Tse) Climbing

Island Peak, officially known as Imja Tse (6,189m), is one of Nepal's most popular climbing peaks and an excellent choice for those new to mountaineering. Located in the Everest region with spectacular views of Lhotse, Nuptse, and Makalu, this peak offers a memorable climbing experience for those looking to transition from trekking into high-altitude mountaineering.
