Where is Island Peak?
Island Peak (Imja Tse) is located in the Khumbu region of eastern Nepal, within the Sagarmatha National Park. Surrounded by some of the world's highest mountains, it lies near the famous Everest Base Camp trekking route and offers spectacular views of the Himalayan giants.
Island Peak is situated in Nepal's Solukhumbu District, approximately 10 kilometers south of Mount Everest, in the heart of the Everest region.
Overview

It remains one of Nepal's most popular "trekking peaks." It is considered slightly less technical and more beginner-friendly than nearby Lobuche Peak.
