Lobuche peak Climbing

Lobuche peak is well-known as a trekking peak of Nepal it is located in the Khumbu region. Consisting of two faces; Lobuche East(6,119m) and Lobuche West (6,145m), the Lobuche peak lies just above the Lobuche village and Khumbu Glacier. Peaks like Mt. Everest and Lhotse lie just 13.5 Km east of the Lobuche Peak. Of the two faces, the Lobuche East is an easily climbable peak and thus regarded as the trekking peak. On the other side, Lobuche West is less frequently climbable and more technical and hence listed as the expedition peak. So, Lobuche East(6,119m) is the summit point of Lobuche Peak Climbing, not Lobuche West.

Lobuche East Peak climbing is the best plan for beginners to tick the very first peak climb of their life. This not-too-difficult trekking peak offers a beautiful but learnable climbing experience. Climbers summiting Lobuche East can finally move up towards another mountain. Reaching the Lobuche top is not the end of the expedition but the start of many more climbs.

Furthermore, Lobuche Peak Climbing arranges awestruck mountain views along the way and from the top. Being very near the Mahalangur section, this expedition gets you a vision of Everest along with Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Pumori, and several others. The whole Everest region is viewable from the summit of Lobuche peak and that eyeshot will make you realize more the trip is worth every pain.

With the assistance of your guide, you will head upward on the technical parts of Lobuche Peak. After climbing the last part i.e. 45 degrees sloped hill, you will be at the summit point of Lobuche east peak. And your heart will be pumped out with the joy of climbing success. Your celebration will become more happening with the wide panorama of the Everest region. After a glorious time of your life at the Lobuche summit, you will descend towards the high camp of this peak. We will trek Pheriche and we see the condition of our body.

Meal

Meals during the Labuche peak climbing trip, we can enjoy with Nepalese local, Tibetan, Indian, and the more common continental cuisines. All meals including breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be available during the trekking and climbing sections.

Best Season

The best time to trek and peak climbing is Autumn (Sept. to Dec.) and Spring (March to May). The treks and climb during Winter and Summer (monsoon) aren’t impossible but just quite challenging. For the best experience, the early and late Spring and Autumn would be preferable due to less tourist traffic.

During the early Spring, the vegetations look fresh with early flowers starting to bloom in several kinds of plants. The villages are full of activity in preparation of family farms for planting the crops. The days are generally sunny due to which they offer good scenery.

The early Autumn is fresh green after a period of warm rainy days from the summer monsoon. The month-long Nepali festivals of Dashain and Tihar can also coincide and the harvest time also starts in many of the villages.

The early Winter (late Autumn) is also a very good time if one prefers lower elevations in the Himalayas.
