Ascend Island Peak to see the Everest region in amazing glory! You don’t have to climb Mt. Everest in order to do mountain climbing in Nepal. There are thousands of mountains to climb that are a lot easier and far less expensive than Everest. When you climb Island Peak, you get the finest view of Mt. Everest in the world (even a climb of Mt. Everest won’t give you this view!) This is an 18 day adventure into the Everest/Khumbu region of eastern Nepal where you will experience both tea house lodging as well as camping in some of the more remote areas of the country. Here we leave behind for some days the more touristy spots of the Everest region. Instead, we climb to new heights to enjoy an unparalleled view of the awesome mountains of Mt. Everest. Island Peak is also known as Mt. Imja Tse. Most everyone calls it Island Peak because it appears as an island surrounded by a sea of ice when viewed from the village of Dingboche. It is a very popular peak to climb because of its views from on top.Island Peak is considered a trekking peak because it doesn’t require any specialized equipment to climb it. It rises to an elevation of 6,189 m/20,305 ft. This 18 day trek will take you to Everest Base Camp. There is a climb of Mt. Kalapathar for another awesome view of Mt. Everest. There are amazing valleys to walk through, inspiring waterfalls and beautiful Sherpa villages. It’s a taste of Heaven here on Earth as you walk literally on what is called the roof of the world! The Island Peak and EBC Trek is the ultimate Everest Adventure. Isn’t now the time to make that long desired trip to see Mt. Everest and to climb a mountain in the Himalayas? You can, with Hiking in Himalaya.
