LOBUCHE PEAK CLIMBING
LOBUCHE PEAK CLIMBING
Lobuche East (6,119m/20,075ft), set in Nepal's stunning Khumbu on the Nepalese side of Everest.
The best time to go trekking in Nepal is in Autumn (September-November) and in spring (March-May) thus avoiding the monsoon season.
The Lobuche Peak is the second most popular climbing peak in the Khumbu Region after Island Peak. It too follows the classic Everest Base Camp Trek route up to Gorakshep (5180m).
Starting with a scenic flight into the high altitude airport at Tenzing Hillary airport Lukla, your first trek to Namche Bazaar and Tengboche Monastery.
These locations are well known for their interesting past, locations and, in the case of Tengboche Monastries, stunning views. Still following the Everest Base Camp Trek we reach 5,550 m at Kalapatthar where are marvelous views of Mount Everest and surrounding high peaks. You spend the night at Gorakshep (5,180 m) and explore Everest Base Camp.
Our trail to Lobuche Peak diverts from the regular trekking route. Lobuche Base Camp is at Lobuche Village itself and High Camp is situated at 5,400 m from the sea level.
Once at Lobuche Base Camp, our climbing Sherpa team will teach/ refresh climbers on the basic use of the climbing gear. We begin the ascent of the summit at 2:00 AM to avoid the high winds later in the day.
And also in this route, we see the mesmerizing sunrise over the mountains! After taking in this glorious sight, descend to Lobuche Base Camp and trek to Pheriche. From Lobuche, you again follow the trekking route to Lukla for your flight to Kathmandu.
A perfect adventure into the Himalayas, offering stunning unique views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, culminating with stunning views of enormous peaks, such as Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Makalu, and Mount Everest. Enjoy the feeling of being dwarfed by a multitude of surrounding peaks.
Trekkers need to be physically fit and preferably with previous climbing experience, or alternatively begin preparation prior to beginning this awesome journey. You will be instructed in all aspects of this climb, which includes the use of crampons, ice axes, and rope techniques.
Sherpa Expedition and Trekking work with local Sherpa based in Dingboche and Khumjung. Our Sherpas team is highly experienced and knows Lobuche Peak inside out. For the safety of our climbers, we provide one climbing guide for every 2-4 climbers, based on the climbers’ experience.!
Lobuche Peak is best climbed in April and May, followed by October and November.

We can choose to spend the day taking a day hike to Thame or visiting Khunde or relaxing and exploring Namche Bazaar itself. Namche Bazaar is the main center of the Everest (Khumbu) region and has government offices, ATMs, Internet cafes, shops, restaurants, a bakery, and a colorful market each Friday evening and Saturday.

While enjoying our lunch break we can take in the fantastic close-up views of Ama-Dablam. The afternoon takes us north to Pheriche, or alternatively, we can take the trail heading east beneath the towering north face of Ama Dablam. From this point, the trek is fairly easy-going before we enter the Imja Valley. The valley gradually opens up as we approach the confluence of the Lobuche River.

Day 8 : Dingboche to Lobuche (4930) Duration: 5-6 hours.
Any easy trek after breakfast takes us to Dugla before traversing the steep moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. After crossing the glazier we then pass through the boulder-strewn slopes as we ascend Chupki Lhara passing an array of stones with prayer flags used as memorials to Scott Fischer (American mountaineer) and 10-time Everest summiteer Babu Chiri Sherpa (Nepalese mountain guide) who perished on a mission to climb Everest. The trail then continues to the Khumbu Glacier moraine where before us are some of the great Himalayan peaks - Khumbutse, Lingtren, Pumori and Mahalangur Himal.
Overnight stay in Lobuche.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 9 : Lobuche to Gorak Shep (5170 m/16,961ft) via Everest Base Camp (5364 m/17,594 ft) Duration: 6-7 hours.

Pumori, Mahalangur, Lingtern, Khumbutse &Nuptse. A short climb takes us to Thangma Riju from where we have a jaw-dropping 360-degree vista of snow-covered mountains. A steep climb leads us to the top crossing the Changri Glacier and our first glimpse of Kala Patthar, a grey-green mound beneath Mt. Pumori. As we reach Gorak Shep, we are once again surrounded by snow-capped mountains in every direction including the highest mountain in the world - Mount Everest. After a brief lunch break and time to relax we head along the trail to Everest Base Camp through the Gorak Shep Lake. After reaching Everest Base Camp we will appreciate those Everest climbers whose accent follows the hazardous route through the Khumbu Icefall. From Base Camp, we can see the magnificent peaks of Nuptse, Khumbuste, and Pumori. Everest is not within view from Base Camp. We then head back to Gorak Shep for a well-deserved night's rest. Most trekkers agree that the sunset view from Kala Patthar is better than the view at sunrise. The setting sun strikes the snow-capped mountains with mesmerizing beauty. Some trekkers may choose to continue with our guides and Sherpas and arrange a hike to Kala Patthar to witness the awesome sunset view rather than waiting until tomorrow.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 10 : Gorak Shep - Kala Patthar (5545 m/18,192 ft) to Lobuche (4940 m/16,207 ft) Duration: 6-7 hours.
Today is special and is the highlight of our journey. An early morning start allows us to catch the dramatic views from Kala Patthar seeing the new day and the light shining on Mount Everest. We need to be prepared for the dark and cold temperatures (-10 to -14 C) before departing on our trek. It is not uncommon to experience some very chilling winds. In the east are many peaks, such as Lingtren, Khumbutse, Changtse with Everest gradually exposing itself reveal itself between the west shoulder crest and Nuptse. During the ascent to Kala Patthar, we can pause to catch our breath at several outstanding viewpoints to snap pictures. After several hours of climbing, we reach Kala Patthar before scrambling over a rocky outcrop close to the summit and its cairns and prayer flags. After reaching the summit we can sit on the Kala Patthar rocks absorbing the spectacular views of the Himalayas. From one rock massif to another we are rewarded with numerous opportunities to use our cameras and photo opportunities that will remind you of these enormous mountains. We then head back to Gorak Shep where we have breakfast before a gradual descent to Lobuche for a well deserved night's rest.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 11 : Lobuche to Lobuche Base Camp (4865m/15,957 ft) Duration 3-4 hours.
Today, we begin our trek from Lobuche toward the Lobuche Base Camp. After walking some distance on a relatively flatter plane, the path to the Lobuche Base Camp gets steeper and rocky. Since we will be trekking toward a somewhat lower altitude today, you may it find it easier for your body. Move forward along the Lobuche Glacier, while enjoying the great views of Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Pokalde, Thamserku, Kantega, etc. After reaching the Lobuche Base Camp, take rest for some time and make necessary preparation for the summit. After lunch, our guides will provide training on peak climbing techniques and using climbing gear such as ice axes, climbing boot, harness, zoomer, and how to go up and down using ropes. There will be training on how to fix the ropes, climbing technique, and about the knot and gears. Some training experience would certainly boost up your confidence and climbing skills thus increasing the chances of scaling the summit as well as fully enjoy the experience. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included.
Day 12 : Lobuche Base Camp to Lobuche High Camp (5,600m/18,368 ft) Duration: 3-4 hours.
After breakfast, we make our way from Lobuche Base Camp to Lobuche High Camp. The climb takes about 4 hours. The High camp is located at an altitude of 5,600m/18,368 ft. From Base Camp, we follow a path across a rocky moraine before reaching High Camp. Once we reach High Camp we prepare our camp for the overnight stay, have lunch and relax. If you walk around, rather than sit around, this will help you to acclimatize to this high altitude.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 13 : Summit day Lobuche Peak (6119m/20,070 ft) Summit & back to Base Camp Duration: 7-10 hours.
Today is the day we have been anxiously awaiting. We start our day in the early hours in order to reach the summit. Lobuche East offers more panoramic views of the mountains than other peaks - such as Island Peak. Arriving at Lobuche summit you can take in spectacular, panoramic and exhilarating views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Pumori, and other nearby peaks. Our time at the summit is spent taking photos and taking a short rest before descending back to High Camp.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 14 : Reserve day for Contingency – in the hands of the Weather God!
There is no guarantee that there will be perfect weather for our climb to the summit, so this day is used as a contingency in the event there are adverse weather conditions making it risky to reach Lobuche Peak today. If the weather is exceptionally poor, then we will have to postpone our ascent of the summit. If a group member has problems acclimatizing, then this day can be spent to improve their condition. If goes well, and the Gods favor us, we do not need this spare day.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 15 : Lobuche Base Camp trek down to Pangobche (3930 m / 12900 ft) Duration: 5-6 hours.
Our day begins right after breakfast and then we head downhill from Lobuche Base Camp and again join the Everest Base Camp route at Lobuche.

Passing through Pheriche, we continue to Pangboche. Some of the other peaks that you will appreciate our Pokalde, Thamserku, Kantega, and others. We descend and trek down a hillside with layers of rhododendron and juniper trees. If this trek is in spring, the hills will be bright with pink and red rhododendron flowers. After reaching Pangboche you will have an opportunity to visit the famous Pangoche Monastery.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 16 : Pangboche trek back to Namche Bazzar (3,440 m/11,280 ft) Duration: 5-6 hours.
After crossing the bridge, adorned with prayer flags, over the Dudh Koshi River the trail then traverses the Dudh Koshi gorge descending rapidly through the pine forests. The path eventually reaches Sansa which is the major trail junction in the region. We can then appreciate the ravening splendor of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Nuptse with every footstep. After a break for lunch, the trail hugs the mountainside before reaching Namche Bazaar and Kyangjuma, winding our way around several bends. We should keep a watchful eye for wild-life, such as mountain goats, snow leopards, colorful pheasants and other animals while passing through the forest. Once we pass a Chorten (Buddhist shrine), we reach the army camp at of Namche Bazaar. From here we can look back and absorb the beauty of Lhotse, the tip of Everest and Tengboche. After reaching our lodge we can take a nice hot shower and enjoy a relaxing night’s rest at Namche Bazaar.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner included.
Day 17 : Namche Bazaar trek back to Lukla (2,800m/9,186ft) Duration: 6-7 hours.
The trail begins with a steep descent requiring we are careful with each step over this rocky landscape. We cross several suspension bridges over the rapid flowing Dudh Koshi and its tributaries. The trail then levels off and gets easier. The fresh mountain air fills your lungs and prepares you for what lies ahead.. Despite following the same route down we see things from another perspective. We pass through open plains, rhododendron and pine forests, and in the distance glimpse snow-covered peaks. As we walk through Sherpa villages we witness their devotion to their Buddhist faith and culture, prayer stones and prayer flags while we stroll through the villages. On arrival in Lukla, we stretch our aching legs and recall the experiences of the last couple of weeks. As we conclude our trek, filled with unforgettable memories, beaming with joy, with everyone back safe and sound and smiles on their face!

GOOD TO KNOW
Insurance
You are obliged to have smart travel insurance or emergency evacuation insurance which is able to cover the cost of high altitude evacuations if necessary. It is also wise to have cancellation insurance in case of the trip being canceled for some reason beyond your control.
Fitness & Experiences
For your safety and success we recommend, before the trek, physical activities like running, swimming and sports combined with climbs to smaller peaks utilizing the equipment you will be using on your trek.. If possible attempt some technical rock and mountaineering experience beforehand. Become familiar with jammers, ascenders, crampons, and rope-climbing knots. We will go over this prior to your attempt on Mount Ama Dablam.
Food
At high altitude, it is wise to consume more food. You may experience a loss of appetite, so take some healthy snacks along with you, such as chocolate bars and dry foods. However, at base camp, our expedition cook will arrange a healthy menu for you. If you have any special dietary requirements our cook will do his best to accommodate your needs.
Accommodation
In Kathmandu, you will be accommodated in 3-star deluxe hotels, whereas on the trek the accommodation ranges from lodges, guest houses and tents. At Base, camp accommodation is in tents, quite a contrast to other accommodation mentioned here. All accommodation is based on a twin share. Accommodation along the trek is rustic and not comparable to the more luxurious hotels in Kathmandu.
Emergency Rescue
In case of any high hypoxia issues we firstly suggest returning to a lower altitude to rest, and in more serious situations we can arrange a land transport or helicopter rescue.
Weather Forecast
In order to determine the weather on the climb, we recommend Meteo Swiss or others from Austria. We will SMS, email or phone you with up-to-date forecasts before attempting the climb to the summit.

A fantastic trip well thought out and led by a very competent team of employees. I can’t recommend Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team enough and I hope to use them again in the future. Thanks to Wangchu Sherpa and the rest of the team for getting us on the Lobuche Peak summit! A great company for peak climbing in the Himalayas. I Strongly recommended Sherpa Team!
