Island Peak Climbing

Overview

If the peak can be likened to an Island in a glacial sea, than the main land forms a semicircle of cliffs that rise in the north to the rugged summit of Nuptse (7879m/ 25850ft), Lhotse (9501m/27870ft), Lhotse middle peak(8410m/ 27590ft), as yet still unclimbed and Lhotse Shar (8383m/ 27503ft). To the east, rising above the frozen waves of the Lhotse Shar glacier, is Cho polu(6734m/ 22093ft), beyond which can be seen the red granite mass of Makalu (8475m/ 27805ft). To the south of the Imja glacier and icy flutings of Baruntse (7720m/ 25328ft) and the Amphu peaks lead the eye to the lofty pinnacle of Ama Dablam (6856m/ 22493ft), which is liked a giant sea ·stack guarding the entrance to the glacial bay in which Island peak stands

My wife and I visited Nepal as a family with three children (ages 2,4 and 5) for 6 weeks. We had a wonderful time and great guidance from all the people of the organization. As from our arrival we were picked up at the airport and we were able to do a lot of things: Trekking for 8 days in Annapurna Region, visit Chitwan Nation Park, visit Kathmandu and the local school, trekking for 2 weeks in Solukhumbu region (Peaky peak trek) and with a stay of 6 days in the home village of most of the guides and closing in Bhaktapur. Special thanks to Tirtha(General Manager), Dawa(Guide), Ang dawa(Guide), Pasang and Phurdoma(Porter). I would truly recommend Bright way Trek. For special reference you can always contact me: florewim@gmail.com
