The Lobuche Peak lies in the beautiful Khumbu region of Nepal. It is excellent for offering spectacular views of the mountain ranges and Everest. A moderately strenuous one, Lobuche Peak climbs climb from the east peak. It stands at а height of 6119 meters, while the west summit has an altitude of 6145 meters. These peaks are separated by а ridge with а considerable distance and hence need to climb separately. Therefore, the most suitable route for the climb is the south ridge of the east face.
The Lobuche peak climbing trek starts with а flight to Lukla, followed by а hike into Phakding. Then the trail brings you to the famous Namche Bazaar since it has proper lodging facilities. The trekkers further ascend to Tengboche and continue to Dingboche. Dingboche at а height of 4350 m is very suitable for acclimatizing before reaching Thukla. The base camp is set up at 4915 meters amidst the hypnotic views of the mountain ranges, and another high camp is set up at а height of 6119 meters. Lobuche summit will climb the next day, accompanied by the beautiful views of the Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Thamserku, Kangtega, and Tawache peaks, as well as Everest.
