Island Peak Climbing

The Island Peak Climbing Package is designed exclusively for climbers of all skill levels who want to combine trekking and mountaineering into one vacation.

Island Peak is a well-known beginner's mountain, and because it is a great stepping stone to higher peaks like Everest, it is a well-known beginner's mountain.

Physically, it is demanding as well. In the three years that followed—2017, 2018, and 2019—it was claimed that the success rate for island peak visitors had exceeded 90%.
