Summited Lobuche Peak

My husband and I had the privilege of summiting Lobuche Peak with my husband, and I must say, it was an absolutely incredible experience. Our guide, Pasang, was not only knowledgeable and experienced, but also incredibly kind and friendly. He made us feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire expedition. Nepal Peak Expeditions, the company we chose for this adventure, proved to be highly professional and well-organized. They took care of all the necessary arrangements, from permits to logistics, ensuring a seamless and stress-free journey for us. The team was extremely prompt in their communication, and we felt well-informed and prepared for the climb. One aspect that truly impressed us was the exceptional service provided by our porter. He was hardworking, dedicated, and always had a smile on his face. He took care of all our gear and made sure we had everything we needed, allowing us to focus on the climb itself. The food provided during the expedition was absolutely delicious. Despite being in a remote and challenging environment, the meals were varied, nutritious, and prepared with great care. It was a pleasant surprise to enjoy such tasty meals even at high altitudes. Most importantly, we successfully summited Lobuche Peak without encountering any major issues. The entire team, including our guide, porter, and the support staff, ensured our safety and well-being throughout the ascent. They were attentive to any signs of altitude sickness and provided valuable guidance to ensure a successful summit. Overall, our experience with Summit Lobuche Peak and they were nothing short of excellent. From the professionalism of the team to the delicious food and the successful summit, every aspect exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Nepal Peak Expeditions and their exceptional team for anyone looking to conquer Lobuche Peak or any other adventure in the Himalayas.

Lobuche Peak ascent!

I recently had the incredible opportunity to summit Lobuche Peak, and I can confidently say that it was an unforgettable experience. The success of our expedition would not have been possible without the help of Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Company and our exceptional guide, Pasang Sherpa. From the moment we arrived in Kathmandu, we were impressed by the professionalism and organization of Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Company. Their manager, Ram, went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met. When our scheduled helicopter flight to Lukla was canceled due to weather conditions, Ram quickly arranged an alternative transportation method which allowed us to reach our starting point without any delays. This level of efficiency and problem-solving skills set the tone for the rest of our journey. Once we began our trek, Pasang Sherpa proved to be an invaluable asset to our team. His expertise and experience were evident from the start, as he effortlessly navigated the challenging terrain. Pasang's knowledge of the area and the mountain itself instilled a sense of confidence in us, as we knew we were in capable hands. Throughout the trek, Pasang demonstrated a high level of professionalism. He was always punctual, ensuring that we stayed on schedule and maximized our chances of reaching the summit. His attention to detail and focus on safety were commendable, as he constantly assessed our physical well-being and adjusted our pace accordingly. Pasang's ability to communicate effectively was another aspect that stood out to us. He was fluent in English and was always willing to answer our questions, share interesting facts about the region, and engage in meaningful conversations. This not only enhanced our experience but also fostered a strong bond between us and our guide. On the day of the summit, Pasang's expertise truly shone. His guidance and support were instrumental in helping us overcome the physical and mental challenges that come with climbing Lobuche Peak. He ensured that we were properly equipped and motivated us to push our limits. With Pasang by our side, we successfully reached the summit and were rewarded with breathtaking views that will forever be etched in our memories. I cannot recommend Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Company, as well as our guide Pasang Sherpa, enough. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to ensuring a successful summit of Lobuche Peak were unparalleled. If you are considering embarking on a similar adventure, I highly encourage you to choose this company and request Pasang as your guide. You will not be disappointed.

Reaching the Summit of Lobuche Peak: A Thrilling Climb to the Top

I recently went on a Lobuche Peak Expedition with a group of friends and we were lucky enough to have a Sherpa guide who was absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable, experienced, and had a great sense of humor which really helped to keep our spirits up during the more challenging parts of the climb. Not only was our guide amazing, but the company we booked with was also great. The communication was clear and concise throughout the entire process, from booking to the actual expedition. They were always available to answer any questions we had and were very professional in their service. The teahouse accommodations were also great. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms and the hospitality of the teahouse owners. The food was delicious and there was always plenty of it to keep us fueled for the climb. Overall, I would highly recommend this expedition to anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding climbing experience. With a great guide, good communication with the company, and comfortable teahouse accommodations, it was an unforgettable adventure that I will never forget.

Mera - Island & Lobuche peaks

This was a top notch company and the climbing was great. The guide was completely safe and with high winds (too dangerous to climb) we worked together to amend the plans. This made me feel safe. (Note that these are high altitude climbs and one needs to have some climbing experience.) (Also in this time of the year it was cold and at times windy.) I cannot say enough about the Sherpa and the guide. An excellent time and a grand adventure.
