You leave all your stuff in the base camp, you just carry your day pack with packed lunch, water, a camera, and some energy bar or chocolate. It is very important to start early because we need to be on the summit before the afternoon because generally after the afternoon it gets very windy and foggy.

Today, get to bed early since we need to wake up at midnight to start summit preparations.

You will summit Island Peak today, the highest point of the Imja Peak Climbing from Chhukung Itinerary, making it an important day. You leave all of your belongings at base camp and only bring a daypack that has a packed lunch, water, a camera, and some energy bars or chocolate. It is crucial that we start climbing early since we need to reach the peak before it gets too windy and hazy in the late afternoon. The ascent is very steep from Base Camp to High Camp. You enter the high camp through a small opening on the rocky, steep slopes. As you go, the rough pathways get more congested.

After arriving at the High Camp, you should take a little break before continuing on to the glaciers to reach the summit of Island Peak. After roughly three hours of trekking through High Camp, you arrive at Crampon Point, where you set Crampons. Reach IMJA Glacier by walking on a narrow icy track while holding onto the main rope at a height of 5700 meters. Although our guide sets the ropes at the Glacier, the ascent from IMJA Glacier is not particularly challenging. The challenging portion of the journey is the climb up a vertical wall before the peak. As you ascend to the summit, the experienced guides will assist you in being fastened to the rope and harness to ensure your safety.

You will eventually reach the summit of Island Peak after negotiating the challenging slopes with the aid of ropes and guides. Amazing views may be seen from the peak. From the summit, you may explore and savor the breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and glaciers. You will eventually go back to where you were and descend to the Base Camp. You will once more begin the hike back to the lovely Chhukung Valley after arriving at the Island Peak Base Camp. Compared to the ascent, the descent is quicker and easier. Reaching the Chhukung Valley today will mark the conclusion of your Island Peak Climbing from the Chhukung expedition.
