Island peak climbing is one of the most beautiful climbing peaks which is situated in the Khumbu region. We can experience a heavy snowfall at this trekking route. The trekking route is not that tougher as many of you think but due to the extremely cold season and heavy snowfall, we may find some difficulty to trek through the area. Island peak climb can be combined withEverest base camp trekking and Gokyo Lake trekking etc. We can see many beautiful and marvelous mountains throughout the route. While climbing this peak, we need some experience to play with snow. This trail very busy Autumn and Spring Season Trekking in Nepal . mainly high light area of from Lukla to Namche, Khumjung, Thame, Gokyo Lake, Tengboche, Lobuche, Gorakshep, Everest Base Camp, and Kalapathar.

Our journey begins at Lukla. To reach to Lukla, we may either choose the airways or we may trek from Jiri. The flight over to Lukla from Kathmandu is about 35 minutes. So, if you have enough time to trek and have a great passion to know more about the Nepalese culture and tradition. Throughout the way from Jiri, we can experience a panoramic view of natural things like green vegetation and many wild animals. We have to trek through Sagarmatha National Park to reach island peak climbing. The way to the Island Peak Climbing is sloppy with the grassy surface. Presence of rocks from the base camp made it little tougher to climb at this peak. Nowadays, many ropes are fixed at the pinnacle, so we can climb the peak with the help of ropes.

Generally, the season between March to May and September to November is considered as best to climb through this region.
