Overview

In the Khumbu Region, Lobuche Peak is located above the Lobuche town. Only a few kilometers separate this peak from Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world. There are two peaks on Lobuche Peak: Lobuche East Peak (6119m) and Lobuche West Peak (6145m).

From Lobuche settlement, one can ascend Lobuche Peak by way of South Bear and South Ridge. Each of the Lobuche Peaks forms a three-ridged pyramid, and they are both striking and strikingly identical in geometry. They dominate the vista when one approaches Lobuche hamlet, which is situated at the base of the Southeast shoulder of the Lobuche East Peak, from the Everest Base Camp hike. It is simple to identify the South and Southeast Ridges from the hike, especially from the hill with the stone memorials, as a classic rock triangle that extends to the Khumbu Glacier sideways moraine.

After a stunning 35-minute flight from Kathmandu, the trip to Lobuche Peak Climbing begins in the famed valley of Lukla and passes through the vibrant Sherpa settlements of the Khumbu region. The villages that the Lobuche Peak Climbing trekking trail passes through include Namche Bazaar, a well-known former trading post between Nepal and Tibet; Tyangboche, home to a significant Buddhist monastery set against a picture-perfect view of Mount Lhotse; Pangboche, the highest Sherpa village; and Dingboche, the starting point for Island Peak. As part of the Peak Climbers' acclimatization program, Gorak Shep Village (5125m) was added. From there, hikers can ascend to Kalapattar (5540m), a satellite peak of Pumori, for a classic view of Mount Everest and the Khumbu Icefall.With these acclimatization requirements met, we hike to the Lobuche East Base Camp before returning to Lobuche settlement (5200m). Once more, we'll give ourselves two days for acclimatization before beginning the ascent up the South Ridge to the summit (6119m). The views of Amadablam, Pumori, and Everest are breathtaking from Base Camp and the climbing route, and from the summit, we will have a 360-degree classic Himalayan panorama of numerous notable Himalayan peaks in the Khumbu region, significant Himalayan glaciers, and alpine lakes in Sagarmatha National Park.
