Island Peak also known as Imja Tse, 6189 meter high, is one of the summits that are most frequently climbed within The Everest Region. It's easy to reach Island peak climbing. It's possible to access Island Peak regularly combined with the ascents of the nearby trekking peakslike Mera Peak, Pokalde, and Labuche East. The Island Peak's name Island Peak is given by Eric Shipton's team in the year 1951 because of the appearance of an island located in the middle of the ice sea as observed at from Dingboche. Island Peak was changed later from 1983 Imja Tse but Island Peak is still the most popular choice. It actually rises out from the ridge which runs from the south of Lhotse Shar. Island Peak is also known by the name of "Trekking Peak" and originally was assigned by those who were the Nepalese officials to mountains thought as being accessible with no hassles associated with an expedition, and did not require extensive knowledge of winter alpine. While some of these peaks are accessible within several days from a trailhead, their technical difficulty and actual risks differ dramatically. Although climbing"trekking peaks "trekking peak" is not similar to climbing a mountain with an 8000m summit however, these peaks aren't to be taken without caution. A significant portion of the time is required to be spent at above 5000m elevation generally in severe conditions, or in slopes that require appropriate climbing abilities. Island Peak was first ascent by a group comprised by mountaineers such as Tensing Norgay as well as Edmund Hillary, as preparation and preparation for an climb to Everest in 1953.

In the case of the Island Peak Expedition, one can start with a base camp at 5,087m (16,690 feet) and also called Pareshaya Gyab. One can then begin at around 2 or 3 am to ascend up the mountain. Another alternative is to go up towards High Camp at around 5,600 meters (18,400 feet) to cut down on the time and effort required to reach the summit. But, the supply of water as well as concerns over the possibility of staying at higher elevations could require you to begin at Base Camp. From high camp to the base camp, it's a mostly easy hike, however beneath high camp, a couple of steps that are difficult to walk through are somewhat rough and require some scrambling up to an opening gap. From the top of the valley, the glacier's trek starts and moves towards the slope of a ski. From there , fixed ropes are erected for guides to climb to assist in the difficult climb of 100m up until the summit's summit of the ridge. The climb to the summit is somewhat difficult due to the steep slope. On the summit, even it is Mount Everest is only 10 kilometers to the north , the view is obstructed by the huge wall of Lhotse which extends for 2,300 metres (7,500 feet) above the summit.
