Island Peak Climbing

Island Peak (6,189 m) Climbing is perfect for energetic and physically fit climbers having a desire for adventure. It is one of the top peak climbing attraction in Nepal.

Island Peak is considered the best opportunity for advanced beginner and intermediate climbers to take on a challenging glacier climb above 20,000 feet in the heart of the Everest Himalayas. En route, participants get to walk the famed Trek to Everest Base Camp.

The Island Peak expedition is a minimum 19 days when you include days in Kathmandu and has 16 days on trek / climb. We do recommend allowing extra time for potential flight delays getting into and out of the mountains.

Climbing Island Peak is not easy, but you can make it easier by spending more days on the trek in and on the mountain. You need to acclimatize to the lower levels of oxygen lower down on the trail. The summit statistics show that the majority of people attempting the climb are not reaching the summit of Island Peak.
