Island Peak Base Camp | Day 04 EBC and Three Passes Trek

The trek to the Island Peak Base camp is one of the most beautiful side treks to do on the EBC and Three Passes Trek. Day 04 was all about covering long distances. The Imja Tsho (5000 m) is one of the biggest glacial lake that I came across on the EBC and three passes trail.

Normally one would need to have a thermal baselayer , fleece jacket , wind breaker and a down jacket after the trek (towards the evening). I see that all of you guys are managing with rab as the second layer only. Either rab is too good or you have a very good acclimatization to winter since you stay in Manali for a good part of the year.

[@Creedaz]

Susceptibility towards cold varies from body to body. I would agree with you as in my case it is the acclimatization and the long term adaptation towards cold that has helped me become less susceptible to cold. Further, the jackets were good, I guess.

[@brindasrinivas9561]

somebody up there...loves you a lot..you have been blessed with good weather... now i am having chills .. will i be able to do it?

[@Creedaz]

You will be able to do it. Needs planning and preparation. That's all.

[@soumyabanerjee3708]

Hi...manav is it mandatory to take porter/guide for doing 3 passes/ebc??...i.e can we get permit for doing 3 passes??

[@Creedaz]

It is NOT mandatory to take a guide or porter. You can get the permit on the trail itself. Just carry you ID cards with you.

[@Novemberbridges]

A small question, how do you identify all the peaks? Do you use an app or something? Also, I think I met you guys during this trek while you were headed towards Dingboche :)

[@Creedaz]

App - Peak Finder

[@AmitSharma-yi9dr]

Manav Sir, how can we work on our endurance to complete such hikes...it seems extremly challenging for first timers, some tips please

[@Creedaz]

Just include running in your daily routine and optimize the weight of your backpack. We don't usually struggle against the mountain, we struggle against the heavy bag that we carry on our shoulders.

[@petravrnakova1426]

Is three passes trek crowded in october?

[@Creedaz]

Yes

[@shashwat_dubey_]

Off topic question - Which trek you did had the best night sky?

[@Creedaz]

It is tough to pick one.

[@shashwat_dubey_]

@@Creedaz any one recommendation?

[@vaibhavchelsea8]

I do Astro so I think can answer your question. Night sky depends on a lot of conditions depending on the season, the cloud cover, moon face, humidity, how high and how far you're from the lights. From March to October you can actually see milky way core in the sky, and after that comes the Orion season in the winter sky. Almost all the treks above Bortle 4 locations will give you amazing night sky keeping in mind the fact that there is no moon in the sky and if it would have rained a day before the sky becomes even more clearer. I live in Bortle 3 location in Himachal and the new moon nights are just amazing my friend, you can easily identify milky way panning across the sky.

[@shashwat_dubey_]

@@vaibhavchelsea8 Thank you! This bortle concept was new for me.

[@prasadpappu23]

What's your view on offloading culture in trekking??

[@Creedaz]

I don't relate to it much. But I guess, one can do it if he/she feels the need to do so.

[@prasadpappu23]

I think offloading spoils the whole point. There are many so called "trekkers" who can't even carry their own stuff and go for the high altitude leisure walk just to make stupid vlogs and reels. I can understand offloading as an emergency option in case of health issues but opting for offloading as a paid service is such a shame !

[@dermaconscience645]

Did you stay at island peak high camp

[@Creedaz]

Nope

[@BHUSHANBANDELKAR]
