Kathmandu - Lukla - 20 day Everest Lodge/Camping Trek & Climb
Island Peak, also known as Imja Tse, is in the Everest region, lying virtually in the shadow of Everest and the dominating Lhotse and Nuptse walls. The mountain was named 'Island Peak' due to its striking location in the middle of the Chhukung valley, like an island on a sea of ice. It was renamed 'Imja Tse' in the early, but its original name is still more popular.
Technically, it is a slightly more difficult climb than Mera Peak, although lower in altitude. This trek also incorporates Everest Base Camp and Kala Patar as part of the acclimatization process. Most accommodation on this trip is lodge based, but we will need to camp at Island Peak base camp.
After preparation in Kathmandu, we take short 35 minutes fly to Lukla and same day walk to Phakding and next day to Namche Bazaar. Ascending gradually, with rest days to help us acclimatize, then we trek to Mongla and Gokyo contianuning crossing Chola Pass, Lobouche and Gorakshep. We visit the historical site of Everest Base Camp, and scale Kala Patar(5.545m) for more brilliant views of Everest and her surrounding peaks.
By now well acclimatized, we drop back down to Dingboche and then proceed in an easterly direction along the Chukhung valley. Our last lodge is at the Chukhung seasonal settlement; from here it is a 3 hour walk to Island Peak Base Camp (5.090m), where we set up our tents. A day's instruction on climbing techniques will be given either at Chukhung or Base Camp.
The ascent to high camp (5.700m) is steep and dusty but not particularly difficult. We retire early that night, and start for the summit by torchlight around 4am. The first leg involves climbing a rocky section over boulders, until we reach the snow slopes.
Donning appropriate gear (crampons, harness etc) and using fixed ropes where necessary, we traverse the crevassed glacier, coming to a steep snow and ice ramp towards the end requiring the use of jumars to ascend. Finally there is a ridge-line to walk, to reach the summit.
From the summit we see the nice view: Lhotse Shar (8.400m); Makalu (8.463m) in the east; Baruntse (7.201m); Ama Dablam, Thamserku & Tawoche in the southeast; and a stunning close-up of the of Lhotse and Nuptse rockwall (the longest rock face in the world).
On return, we direct way back to Lukla. We spend an evening of celebration with our Sherpa team, before flying back to Kathmandu.
