Tour  details:

Imja Tse is more popularly known by the name of Island Peak, a name coined by Eric Shipton who thought this peak looked like an island in a sea of ice. 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 and Tenzing Norgay was one of the members of that successful team.

Despite its popularity, it is still tough climb and many people fail to reach the summit. This is often because of insufficient acclimatization, and sometimes because of deep snow, strong winds, or simply setting off too late in the morning.

The peak is part of the south ridge of Lhotse Shar and the enormous summits of Nuptse, Lhotse, Middle Peak and Lhotse Shar rise above the summit of the north. To the east lies the looming west face of Makalu and the unmistakeable form of Ama Dablam can be seen to the south-west.
