Island Peak also known as Imje Tse is one of the most popular climbing peaks in Nepal. It is known for its appearance of an island adrift on sea of ice. It serves up for both novice climbers as well as the experienced climbers. Island peak is also known as an acclimating mountain for Everest expeditions. It is also an ideal mountain for people who are keen on learning the art of mountain climbing. The summit, though physically demanding, is not technically challenging. It offers one of the easiest and safest climbing experiences in the Himalayas. This expedition fulfills more than enough for those having time constraints. The summit stands adjacent to world's largest ice walls offering stunning views of its neighboring Himalayan Mountains that dominate the skyline.
