Lobuche Peak Climbing with EBC - 2017
5 - Excellent
  • Alex Hales
“The views from Everest's base camp was fantastic, our trekking guide took care of all things. Jason, my friend was full of jokes to make our trip memorable. After that, we head up to climb Lobuche Peak with Dandy Sherpa, our mountaineering guide. He was a fantastic climber with his encouragement, we were able to get to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, Yang our porter was energetic, how could he manage to carry all necessary stuffs ... I can not believe it. In general, our trip was full of fun and unforgettable moments. It was a wonderful experience and a trip that I can very much recommend.”

  • Aaron Lee
“We were pleased with the staff we had. The travel guide Sonam and climbing guide Dendi was nice and helpful. They were friendly and worked very hard to ensure that the trip would went well. The trek to the Everest base camp was an interesting warm-up before climbing on Lobuche Peak. Dendi, is a wise and caring person with good technical climbing experience. Following his footsteps we reached Lobuche Peak summit. We would like to do more climbing under his guidance in future. Lobuche Peak mountaineering was a bit difficult, but it was amazing.”

Climbing Lobuche East Peak - Overview and Facts

Lobuche East Peak is an excellent climbing peak, on par with the famous Island peak. The climb will be moderately challenging but does not require any technical climbing skills, or previous mountaineering experience. This climb promises an adventure of a lifetime.

The first recorded ascend of the peak was made on April 25, 1984 by Laurence Nielson and Sherpa Ang Gyalzen. Lobuche peak is situated relatively close to Everest Base Camp and Kala Pathhar which are not only great points of interest but also great for acclimatization before proceeding to climb Lobuche peak.

While you be climbing Lobuche East Peak, Lobuche has in fact two different peaks, Lobuche East Peak at an altitude of 6,119 m and West Peak at an altitude of 6,145 m.

The best time to climb Lobuche East peak is during Mid- March to May and October to Mid- December.

The adventure starts from Lukla, the Gateway to the infamous Everest region continues through the Sagarmatha National Park until you arrive at the famous Namche Bazaar (3,440m), the “capital” of the Everest region. At this ancient trading post between Nepal and Tibet, climbers can rest in loges, while enjoying good coffee and pastries from the local bakeries, and not to forget, great scenery. All this while the body is slowly acclimatizing getting used to the thinner air at 3,440 m.

The trail then continues to Tyangboche and then Pangboche, both of which are known for their great Buddhist monasteries.

Before traveling to the Base Camp of Lobuche, trekkers will trek uo to Gorak Shep (5,125m) from where you will visit the famous Everest Base Camp, the place from which mountaineers start their journey towards the world’s highest mountain. The following day you will be visiting Kala Patthar Peak (5,540 m). Kala Patthar, which literally translates as “black rock” is a great view point for Mt. Everest and the Khumbu Icefall. Furthermore, it serves as a place to get further acclimatized before attempting Lobuche peak.

Having adapted to higher altitudes, trekkers will descend and rest in guest houses at Lobuche Base Camp situated near a lake in a rocky hallow at 4,950m. After spending a night at the base of the South-West Face glaciers, climbers will ascend steep stone terraces and snow slopes using climbing gear, fixed ropes and ice axes to reach the High Camp (5,357m). Here trekkers will camp and rest overnight in tents before climbing the summit. Waking up early in the morning, using climbing gear to follow the sharp snow ridge to the summit ridge, the trekkers will then scale the Lobuche Peak. While this require hardmanship every effort is rewarded when finally standing atop Lobuche.

From the summit of Lobuche East Peak, trekkers will marvel at the panoramic view of the Himalayas. The view of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Pumori and other mountains will be unforgettable moment of a lifetime. In fact, this tour and itinerary promises an adventure of a lifetime.
