Island Peak is very popular amongst the trekkers owing to the adventurous climbing option the peak offers. Additionally, Island Peak rises in the middle of the Chhukhung Valley amidst the extended sections of Lhotse Shar glacier on all sides like an island that rises above the sea level; therefore, the peak is popularly known as the Island Peak. Moreover, it is the most preferred peak climbing journey in the Everest region of Nepal. This lets you venture into the heights of 6,189 meters and offers incredible views of mountains and glaciers.
Furthermore, it is also popular as Imje Tse in the local language. Interestingly, the climbing team of Eric Shipton gave the name Island Peak in 1953. It is not technically difficult; however, the magnificent views of the mountains that the summit of the peak offers are beyond any mere imagination. You will get exclusive views of Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Lhotse Shar, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt. Baruntse, and many others, consequently
Peak climbing is best during the spring season, from mid-March to May, and the autumn season, from September to November. The weather is comparatively warm, and a visitor can get a clear view of the mountains in this season. If you think you need some more challenges, then you can combine Island Peak climbing with other treks in Nepal. Nepal Intrepid Treks offers Island Peak climbing with Everest Base Camp Trek.

5.0 Rating out of 5 based on 150 ReviewsI came to Nepal to do the Upper Mustang trek with my friends in March 2025. We started our trek from Kagbeni, accompanied by my friend and guide. The blend of Tibetan and Hindu cultures was fascinating, and I especially enjoyed learning about the traditions of Buddhism. The people in that area were very kind.
I was amazed by the monasteries we visited; the entire region was fantastic. The ancient villages perched on the hills surprised us with their unique history and architecture. The variety of colorful paintings and decorations left a lasting impression.
I want to sincerely thank Nepal Intrepid Treks for supporting our trek, as well as our guide and Lal Gurung, Managing Director of Nepal Intrepid Treks.
I completed the Manaslu Circuit Trek in April 2025 and want to sincerely thank the entire Nepal Intrepid Treks team for their support in helping me complete this trek. The views of Mount Manaslu were absolutely stunning, making this one of the best experiences of my life.
Special thanks to Lal Gurung and the guide for their excellent service and care throughout the journey.
Highly recommended!
I did not expect the Everest Base Camp trek to be this incredible, but the Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek I booked with Nepal Intrepid Treks turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life.
From the very beginning, their top-notch service truly impressed me. I never imagined I could enjoy coffee, pizza, and snacks at such high altitudes. The hotel accommodations were surprisingly comfortable and the hospitality was outstanding.
What stood out the most were the breathtaking views of Mt. Everest, especially from Everest Base Camp and the iconic Everest View Hotel. Having breakfast with such a view was an unforgettable moment.
My guide and porter were extremely helpful and friendly throughout the trek, making the journey safe and enjoyable.
Special thanks to Lal Gurung, Managing Director of Nepal Intrepid Treks, for organizing everything so well. His team made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish.
I highly recommend Nepal Intrepid Treks to anyone looking to experience the Himalayas in comfort and style.
Thank you so much!
Man, this trek was absolutely amazing! I never imagined the Everest Base Camp Trek could be so luxurious and successful. It completely exceeded my expectations.
If this incredible journey was possible, it is only because of Nepal Intrepid Treks, especially the Managing Director Lal Gurung and my fantastic guide and porter. Their support, organization, and hospitality made everything smooth and enjoyable.
The helicopter ride with the stunning views from the top was something I will never forget. Having breakfast at the Everest View Hotel while admiring the world’s highest peak is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The people along the way, the warm hospitality, and the diverse culture of the Himalayas were the top highlights for me. I felt deeply connected to the place and its spirit.
Thank you so much to the entire Nepal Intrepid Treks team. Highly recommended for anyone dreaming of the Everest trek with a touch of luxury and personalized care.
I believe the Manaslu Circuit Trek offers the best mountain experience with an up-close view of the peaks with our naked eyes. Thanks to Lal Gurung, Managing Director of Nepal Intrepid Treks, for suggesting this incredible trek.
During this trek, I got to see Mount Manaslu very closely. I have also completed the Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Base Camp treks, but among these, the Manaslu Circuit stands out for how near the mountain feels.
Special thanks to Lal Gurung for being a wonderful guide and providing excellent service throughout the journey.
