Imja Tse
View from Imja Tse
by Hendrik Koners

Imja Tse / Island Peak (6189m). One of the most popular "Trekking Peaks" in Nepal. With a view towards Peak 41, Mera Peak, Kangtenga, Ama Dablam and many more. Because of its location (close to Chhukung and therefore Namche and Lukla) Island Peak is relatively easy to approach compared to other mountains.
