Besides it, you can do a lot of things while resting at Namche Bazaar in the course of Island Peak climbing. Hike to Khumjung Village is the best way to see the Yeti Scalp in the Khumjung Monastery. The Sherpa Museum located a little farther from the Sherpa Capital, Namche Bazaar is a must-visit site in the Everest region. Besides Sherpa culture and tradition, you can see all the photos of Hillary and Tenzing from the 1953 Everest Expedition. All these rarest snaps are preserved in the Hall of Fame of the same museum.

You can also taste the organic food items prepared by these friendly people. This not only gives an experience of the Sherpa cuisines but also is a contribution to support them economically.
How to do Imja Peak Climbing?
Island Peak climbing in Nepal begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Tenzing Hillary Airport in Lukla. It takes nearly 30 minutes to reach the gateway to Everest region trekking by flight. Then, along the rocky trail through the dense forests of pine, oak and rhododendron, you move towards Phakding, then Namche Bazaar. After acclimatization, the journey continues further to Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, Gorakshep, Everest Base Camp and Kalapatthar.
After having the 360-degree panoramic view of Mt. Everest Summit from Kalapatthar, you descend towards Gorakshep. You have breakfast there and move further to Dingboche to move towards the Island Peak Summit by resting at the base camp. While at base camp, the Sherpa guide gives you all the information about climbing skills and techniques. He trains you to use the climbing gears for the successful accomplishment of the task.
Which is the best season for Imja Peak Climbing in Nepal?
Trekking peaks in Nepal are the ones above 6,000 m from the sea level. Peak Climbing to an elevation above 6,000 m is not always possible because of unpredictable weather conditions. In winter, the excessive snowfall obstructs climbing. In the same way, the fierce wind in the morning or daytime does not let you climb the peak. Therefore, the time just after midnight is the best to begin to walk towards the summit from High Camp.
With the help of the headlamp, you must cross the crevasses carefully. Actually, due to the warm weather favorable for stable snow level, spring is the best season for peak climbing in Nepal. Spring in Nepal falls in March to April and May when most of the peaks including the Great Himalayas trail, So thousands of climbers scale them now. Nonetheless, the adventure lovers attempt to do it in October and November as well for the crystal clear view of the surrounding. Talking about Island Peak climbing, spring season is the best time for this expedition.
