Island Peak  climbing is the most popular climbing peak in Nepal. Island Peak is seen as an island in a sea of ice. The summit is interesting and attractive with a highly glaciated west face rising from the Lhotse Glacier. The mountain itself is the extension of the South Ridge of Lhotse Shar separated by a small col. The ridge rising to the south from this point leads to the summit of Island Peak. The extension of this ridge descending south-west is the part of the normal route of ascent and leads to the South Summit. Island peak is not only provides an enjoyable climb but also provides some of the most spectacular scenery of Himalayas. Some are named here, Nuptse (7,879m), Lhotse (8,501m), Lhotse Middle Peak (8,410m) and Lhotse Shar (8,383m) make a semi circle in the north. The views of Makalu (8475m) in the east, Baruntse and Amadablam in the south add more charm for climbing Island Peak.
We use same route for Island peak and Everest base camp trek. After the Pangboche valley right trial go to the Imja tse valley and left trial go to Khumbu valley. After the base camp we head in to the imja valley place called dingboche and next place called Chukhung. After the chukung there is no tea house towards island peak. So we need to do camping, normally we stay in tented camp 2 nights and back to chunkung after reach the summit of island peak. Then all the way down to Kathmandu and rest, drink, good food, good shower, fly back to home.
