Accommodation
& Food
This
climbing trip could be made shorter escaping
acclimatization trip to Everest Base Camp and
Kalapattar. But this detour is highly recommended
to overcome hazardous mountain sickness. As
we follow classic Everest trail, there are plenty
of local sherpa lodges. The lodges are cozy
and cater hygienic food of basic international
standard. Using these lodges aids to local economy.
Once
we leave the last village of Chukung, we will
be camping and food will be served by our cook.
The base camp is well recognized place of Pareshaya
Gyab (4,970m). The high camp is at an altitude
of 5,550m.
This
is the most popular trekking peak in Nepal. From Dingboche
the mountain is seen as an island in a sea of ice. The summit
is interesting and attractive with a highly glaciated west
face rising from the Lhotse Glacier.The mountain itself is
the extension of the South Ridge of Lhotse Shar seperated
by a small col. The ridge rising to the south from this point
leads to the summit of Island Peak. The extension of this
ridge descending south-west is the part of the normal
route of ascent and leads to the SouthSummit. Imja Tse not
only provides an enjoyable climb but also provides some of
the most spectacular scenery of Himalayas in the Khumbu region.
Seen from the summit the giant mountains, Nuptse (7,879m),
Lhotse (8,501m), Lhotse Middle Peak (8,410m) and Lhotse Shar
(8,383m) make a semi circle in the north. The views of Makalu
(8475m) in the east, Baruntse and Amadablam in the south add
more charm for climbing Island Peak.
