Island Peak is the most sought after trekking destination because of its challenging geographical conditions, locatied in between Lhotse and Aamadablam. Each year more than 300 groups attempt to scale the summit of Island peak. This trek including Kalapattar, offers an excellent view of khumbu glascier with beautiful high himalayan panorama in 360 deg angle. The most difficult section is a mixed rock and ice wall at a slope of around 45 degrees leading to the narrow summit ridge.
The magnificent views from the summit, however, are certainly a fitting reward for your efforts. Before climbing Island Peak, trek up the Dudh Kosi valley from Lukla, passing through Namche and Tengboche on the way to Kala Pattar and Everest Base Camp. After being rested and feeling physically fit and acclimatized, then head up the beautiful Imja Khola - valley towards Island Peak. This trip can be done during March to June and September to December.
