|
 |
|
Imja Tse (Island Peak) - 6169m.
Island Peak is one of the most
popular lesser peaks and scaling the
mountain you will need some
mountaineering skill.
This trip is the same as the
‘Everest’ treks till your entrance
to the Chukkung valley. Either you
can take air service from Katmandu
to Lukla or drive to Jiri 184 km.
Eastward of Katmandu and commence
trek to Lukla and then continue up
past Namche Bazaar, Tengboche,
Dingboche, Imaja Glacier to the Base
camp of Imja Tse or Island peak.
Three days are set aside for the
ascent of Imja Tse and follow the
same route back to Katmandu as in
the ‘Everest’ trek. If you take
one-way flight to Lukla, the whole
trip will cover within 23 days and
16 days is enough if both way
flights are taken.
This trip offers you not only
enchanting views of Mt, Everest
(8848m.) Lhotse (8516m) Amadablam
(6856m.) and numerous other peaks;
draws your attention towards
monasteries and traditional Sherpa
villages. Such a massive glance of
the Himalayan peaks can create in
you a pleasant wave of internal
felicity. |
