Island Peak is a technically straightforward ridge, popular for both adventure trekkers and novice climbers to take on challenging glacier climb above 6000m in the heart of the Everest Himalayas. Island Peak Climbing is physically challenging but not technically difficult climb.

A physically fit & acclimatized person is well qualified and welcome to join the team to make an ascent of Island peak Summit, no requisite of previous knowledge of snow and ice climbing. We would be delighted to put you in touch with veteran trekkers to share their experiences.

Trip Itinerary


Many mountaineers prefer to hike upto High Camp at 5,600 m and stay overnight to reduce the amount of effort and time needed for summit day. However, we ignore this idea due to crisis of adequate water supply and concerns about sleeping at a higher altitude may dictate starting from base camp. Our Adventure Connexion team start our climbing early morning between 2-3 am from base camp at 5,087 m or Pareshaya Gyab. Base camp to high camp is basically a hike but just above high camp, some rocky steps require moderate scrambling and up through a broad open gully. The route then follows a ridge line, which leads to an exhilarating and exposed traverse onto the snout of the summit glacier and proceeds up to a steep snow and ice slope. From here, fixed ropes are setup for the strenuous ascent of nearly 100 m to the Island Peak summit ridge. The climb to Island Peak summit is somewhat difficult due to steep climbing. On top, while Mount Everest is a mere 10 kms away to the north, the view will be blocked by the massive wall of Lhotse, towering 2,300 m above the summit of Island Peak. After enjoying the summit views we will descend all the way to our base camp
