The Island Peak derives its name owing to its striking location in the middle of the Chhukung valley, like an Island on a sea of ice. Island Peak adventure takes you to one of the most charming places in the Himalayas and between the highest mountains on the planet. Everest Base Camp is the most sought after trekking destination in the world. The Lobuche Peak (6119m) summit offer up-close views of not only the gorgeous Mt. Everest, but you would also be able to witness many mountains of the Rongbuk side of Tibet. Similarly, the Island Peak (6,189m) originally the Imjatse, is perhaps the most popular climbing peak in the Everest region. The bliss you will experience after scaling the two most famous Peaks in the Everest region – Lobuche and Island – along with a trek to the base of world’s highest mountain, the Everest, would certainly remain with you forever.
