Island Peak Height and Location

Island Peak, locally known as Imja Tse, stands at an elevation of 6,189 meters above sea level. The peak is located in the Everest Region of eastern Nepal within the Sagarmatha National Park.

The mountain was named "Island Peak" because it appears like an island floating in a sea of ice when viewed from Dingboche. It offers spectacular views of:

  • Mount Everest (8,848.86m)
  • Lhotse (8,516m)
  • Makalu (8,485m)
  • Nuptse (7,861m)
  • Ama Dablam (6,812m)
  • Baruntse (7,129m)

Island Peak is considered a moderately technical climbing peak requiring the use of crampons, ice axe, harness, fixed ropes, and climbing equipment.
