Best climbing seasons
The best seasons for island peak climbing vary according to the climber’s preferences. However, climbers worldwide mainly appreciate the Spring and Autumn seasons.
Spring
Spring is Nepal’s pre-monsoon season, from late April to early June. The Spring season is admired for climbing Island Peak due to the stable weather conditions with clear skies. Additionally, the days are longer during Spring, which provides more daylight for climbing. Also, the climbing conditions are comfortable with a moderate temperature. Ultimately, the blooming rhododendron during Spring adds to the region’s beauty, making Trekking and climbing pleasant.
Autumn
Autumn in Nepal comes after the monsoon season, also called the post-monsoon season. The months from late September to early November are autumn in Nepal and are favorable times for island peak climbing. Similar to Spring, autumn provides a clear sky and excellent visibility. As autumn is post-monsoon, the weather is less likely to occur in rainfall, reducing the risk of weather-related challenges during climbing.
Summer
Besides Spring and autumn, the popularity of climbing the island peak during the summer is also growing. Summer is the monsoon season in most parts of Nepal, but global warming affects the higher elevation, causing less chance of rainfall and making climbing suitable. However, climbing on Island Peak during Summer requires wise consideration. So, if you are considering climbing on Island Peak during Spring, contact us through WhatsApp at +977 9851033819. We want to give you valuable guidance, considering your safety.
Winter
The most unfavorable season for climbing on the Island Peak is considered Winter. The season falls from December to February, and it has harsh temperatures and weather conditions. The temperature drops to minus degrees Celsius in winter, especially in the high altitudes, increasing the chances of cold-related problems. Heavy snowfall makes climbing difficult. Additionally, the daytime is short in winter, resulting in limited climbing time.
Number of required permits
The peak is over 6000 meters higher from sea level. It is necessary to have several permits from Kathmandu before traveling to Lukla. These Permits are the following.
Sagarmatha National Park permit
The entire Everest region lies within the Sagarmatha National Park. Each trekking and climbing destination in the Khumbu region requires a Sagarmatha National Park permit, and so does Island peak climbing. The permit is the gateway to the Everest region, so climbers can’t enter the Khumbu area without this permit. The Sagarmatha National Park permit can be obtained through the National Park Counter, Tourist Service Center, Nepal Tourism Board, and at the entry point in Manju. However, Boundless manages this permit on your behalf without causing you any worry.
Trekkers’ Information Management System (TIMS) card:
All trekking and climbing destinations, including island peak climbing in Nepal, require a Trekkers’ Information Management System (TIMS) card. The TIMS has two types: blue for group trekkers and green for Free independent travelers (Solo). It is mandatory for the safety and tracking of trekkers. Licensed trekking agencies can provide trekkers with TIMS.
Pasang Lhamu rural municipality permit:
Khumbu Pasang Lhamu rural municipality is the local government of the Khumbu region that issues the Pasang Lhamu rural municipality permit. Climbers need to obtain a license for Island peak climbing. Boundless Adventure manages this permit on behalf of climbers.
