Island Peak Climbing
Island Peak climbing is one of the most popular peak climbing in Nepal options. On a regular trek in the Everest Region, you attempt to climb Island peak, also known as Imja Tse. It is a mini-mountain with a height of 6189 m. Island Peak climbing difficulty is fairly low in comparison to the other eight-thousanders, and it also takes only one day to reach its top and back to the base, thanks to its low Island peak elevation. However, you do need the basic mountaineering skills to reach the Island peak summit with fair ease.
Island peak climb is a fairly safe activity. Till now, no Island peak deaths have been reported that occurred while climbing Island peak. The path that leads you to Island Peak Nepal or Imja Tse deviates from Chhukung. It is a beautiful village situated in the lap of the Himalayas. Though the core climbing duration is one day long, you tend to spend one more day at the Imja Tse Base Camp, resting and preparing for the climb. Since this trip takes the difficulty of Everest treks to a whole new level, it is recommended only to the experts.
Best Season for Island Peak Climbing
Quite like the other tourism-related activities, the best season for Island Peak climbing is between the months of March and May. During this time, the weather is at its best, offering you great mountain views. You could also go for this trip between the months of March and May.
Without a doubt, adding the Island Peak Climbing to these treks in the Everest region increases the level of difficulty of these journeys. But this is what brings all the fun. There is nothing that compares to the view that you get to enjoy from the top of this mini-mountain called Island peak.
Himalayan Trails Trekking can prove to be your ideal travel partner especially when it comes to trekking and expedition, and Island Peak climbing is no different. You could also hire Himalayan Trails trekking for luxury tours, and trips to interesting places in countries like Bhutan and Tibet.

Train and Fitness
Physical fitness is one of the most key elements on the trek. The trekking in the Himalayan is not forced on it and pacing is always slow, most of the days generally being shorter than a hiking day at your home country. We believe that should be you’re imaginable of its kind of holiday trip literally than a contest to provide evidence of the travelers. We maintain situated so as to allow easy access to your trip can be demanding but not a difficult. You can make your own speed and enjoy your trip stunning atmosphere rather than following to other to catch. Himalayan Trails, recommend that you assume on a good fitness agenda proceeding to your trip although and one that builds up general strength and specific leg muscle groups. There is nothing like hiking with a bag pack to train for trek in Himalaya. So our best advice is to get out into the Hills or Alps as often as you can. You better ware your hiking boots and carry about 5-6 kg in your day bag-pack; this is a good weight to walk with it.
If you are doing Gym then which can be helpful and work on the thigh and calf muscles but better to build your heart rate over 50%. Any kind of heart breed activities are good but swimming will not add it doesn’t train right muscles groups better added other exercise to be effective. Hiking in Hills, Alps would be the best preparation for a trek in Nepal.
Experience For The Nepal Trek
The trekking trail and area of Nepal mostly well trodden and natural path most of the regions, even though it can be rocky and rough in some parts. It is not precipitous and there is no rock climbing or Mountaineering which is requiring equipments. It is hike most of the way in Himalaya, but some parts of the hills can be steep up and down and can be longer!
On the way you may meet many people along the trails as well as Donkeys, Yaks and heavy load porters. Walking in the Himalaya there is rule of the way when meet an approaching Donkeys, Yaks and porters always make sure you step to always on side where wide enough to passes through each other,( towards slopes side of the hill or inside of the Trail). Note: never ever stand ridged sides of the trail. If you stand, it means, we call (outside standing is suicide and inside is safe site) because it can be push by them down to mountains or rivers.
The trekking poles are very useful, if you have problems with knees, depending on weather or personal choice for using them. Even though higher up, ice path, moraine, open slopes may give you extra support from it, also quite easy to follow the path.
Always final sections are can be Glacier itself and high elevation, it is bit difficult and occasionally slippery under trails. The ice is covered in water stones and dirt, so where a coolant produces cold temperatures in the surface below.
Comfortable, good sole, ankle support (4 seasons) trekking boots waterproof are recommended for the high passes trek but for the lower trek lightweight hiking boots are fine to protect you beside, probably going over an ankle, low altitude trek heavy boots will be hot and unwieldy.
Accommodation on The Trek and while climbing
Tea house trek accommodation will be in comfortable tea houses and lodges run most of the area by local families, except people specify a preference for tents. Every tea house or lodge has a common heated Chimney in the dining hall, although the bedrooms are not heated with mattresses, pillows and two beds in a room. We recommend you to bring your own sleeping bag (3 seasons in normally fine) but possibility is also you can buy and hire in Kathmandu.
Generally most of the tea houses have hot showers by gas gizzards and they have squire toilets but some area have and use drop toilets with flush systems.
For the Tent Camp/ Tent trekking we use branded company tents which are for two persons comfortably can sleep and can put your luggage on side, and we provide you the mattresses. Tents are fixed always near the guest house and eating in our own dining tent, sometimes eating can be indoors, depends on possibility. So toilets sometimes you will use from the lodge but obvious we will have our privet toilet tents too.
Himalayan Trails Support
Our main back bones of the trek are porters, will carry your main duffle bag up to a maximum weight of 12-14 kg per guest and supply for all the groups needs, if you need to go back down to the valley together with assisting you. Apart from specially camping, all the accommodations are in local lodge or Tea houses which are well prepared, warm and friendly environment.
Our entire trip we run by permanently Guides or Leaders, who have been employed over ten years with us and been training personally high standard leadership and first aid by our company. They know how to deal with emergencies and speak fluently English. They are always helpful and look after you so many years have been working with tourist and westerns, they know the westerns needs and understanding. Our porters are always who works with us forever all our teams are dedicated and they will provide high standards services.
