Lobuche East Peak-17 Days

Trip Introduction

Lobuche is a mountain located near the Khumbu Glacier. It is located at an elevation of 6,119m. It is situated on the north side of the Khumbu region. It is located in the central part of Solukhumbu. There are two main peaks, Lobuche East and Lobuche West, but climbing Lobuche West is more difficult. The Trekking Peak is another name for Lobuche East. It is also a popular peak climbing destination in Nepal. It is the best combination of traditional Everest Base Camp trekking and peak climbing.

We will walk through the Khumbu region, the Sherpa people’s homeland. It’s the best of both worlds: trekking and climbing. We will walk on the world’s most popular trekking trails around the world’s tallest mountain for a breathtaking visit and once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience. The trail passes through wonderful forests, glacier moraines, mountains, and slopes. It also has a diverse range of flora and fauna, including musk deer, snow leopards, Himalayan Tahr, and red Pandas.

The 17-day trek begins with a flight to Lukla. The flight generally lasts 30 to 35 minutes. Lukla is the trek’s starting point. Lukla is a significant town in the Khumbu region. The road continues through the Imja Khola River from Namche Bazaar to the valley below Everest. The trail takes the traditional route to the destination, passing through Lobuche and Gorakshep. After reaching the EBC, we climb Kala Patthar to get a bird’s-eye view of Mt. Everest and the other Himalayan peaks. We will begin our ascent from the Lobuche village. We’ll make our way up to Lobuche High Camp on the Lobuche Glacier. From there, we’ll have spectacular views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu Barun, Ama Dablam, and Chamlang, Thamserku and Gaurishankar.

Is this trek appropriate for you?

  • This trek includes 14 days of strenuous climbing. You’ll be trekking for 5 to 6 hours per day, reaching elevations of over 6000 meters at times. We cannot overestimate the importance of being in excellent physical shape and health, which requires training prior to your trip to ensure that you are properly prepared.
  • This is the trek for you if you have previous rock climbing or wall climbing experience. It is recommended that you have prior experience with high-altitude trekking.
  • The weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, and every year a large number of flights to or from Lukla are delayed or canceled because of weather conditions, so you should plan accordingly.
  • The teahouses, or trekking lodges, where we stay on the trek are very basic, with just basic services. Hot water may not be accessible at all times and may be charged extra, as will access to electrical outlets for charging electronics. Wi-Fi is available in some areas, although the quality of the connection may be poor.
  • The path twists and turns through challenging terrain. At 6,119 meters, you’ll reach the highest peak. Because of the weather, isolation, and high altitude of this walk, it’s critical to take it carefully and stay hydrated.
