This article is an itinerary.

Island Peak (6,189mts), known locally as Imja Tse, is the name of a mountain in the Khumbu (Everest) region in Nepal.

[edit] Understand

The trek to Island Peak initially follows the main Everest Base Camp route, but separates either after Khumjung or at Dingboche. Either way, it can be made as a circular trek that takes in some of the Himalaya's most spectacular scenery. The climb to the top of the peak is moderately easy (by Himalayan standards), but a guide and porters are essential.
