The real name of this peak is Imja Tse. It was named as Island Peak by the members of British Mount Everest voyage in 1953 as it seems like Island in a sea of ice while observing from Dingboche. Climbing this peak is challenging and requires a proper physical strength but is a moderately easy one compared to other peaks.

The Peak does not provide a terrifying climb only but also provide the most tremendous scenery of Himalaya in the Khumbu region.

 The suitable time for Island Peak climbing is during spring (March to early June) and autumn (September to November). These seasons are also known as busiest seasons for trekking and peak climbing. It doesn't mean climbing is not possible during the rest of the month but the fact is summer invites monsoon rain which leads to the high chance of landslides and avalanches in some places that are difficult in normal time as well. It won't be wrong to say summer is a totally unfavorable season for peak climbing whereas, during April and May, many Everest climbers can be encounter in climbing route so generally for those who are about to experience climbing for the first time we suggest them to plan on Spring season. In autumn weather in Mountains tends to be clear so mainly this season is considered to be the best season for the peak climbing. The foremost thing one should always concern about is the right time for peak climbing. No matter whichever peak you plan for if the selection of right month and season is always necessary especially in case of peak climbing.
