Island peak, one of 18 designated 'trekking peaks' in the country, stands at 6,189 m. (20,305 ft). This trekking peak offer great potential for independent trekking and climbing groups by providing challenging but achievable alternative to full scale mountaineering expeditions with a chance to stand on top of a Himalayan peak. Trekking peaks do vary in terms of difficulty from non-technical plods to very technical climbs. Island peak is mostly a plod up but does require the use of ice axe and crampons. There is one part where the rope is needed.
