Tour Details

Imja Tse, commonly known as Island Peak, is one of the most popular trekking peaks in Nepal, located in the heart of the Khumbu region. It is an ideal first Himalayan climbing experience, combining classic Everest trekking trails with a non-technical glacier summit climb.

The expedition typically takes you through iconic Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries, and high-altitude valleys, before entering the dramatic Imja Glacier basin. From the summit, climbers are rewarded with one of the most spectacular panoramas in the Himalayas.
