 Island
Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp Trekking:
Imja Tse peak towers at a height of 6,160 meters, and gets famed
by the Island Peak (Named by Eric Shipton’s party in 1953), as
the peak resembles an island in a sea of ice when viewed from
Dingboche. Later in 1983, the peak was renamed as Imja Tse.
The peak was first ascended in 1953 by a British team as
preparation for climbing Everest. Tenzing Norgay was one of the
members who successfully ascended it. In addition to the actual
climb, the trek involved in this trip gives you "the grand tour"
of the famous Khumbu valley. Beautiful, multi-hued prayer flags
prayer wheels and intricately carved Mani stones line every
hilltop, rock wall and trailside singing prayers to the gods
with every breeze and every passing traveler. Trip
