Lobuche Peak Climbing can be seamlessly combined with treks to Everest Base Camp or the Three High Passes in the Everest region. Lobuche Peak stands majestically above the village and adjacent to the Khumbu Glacier. Nowadays, many mountaineers climb Lobuche Peak as a warm-up training before embarking on their Everest expeditions.
We typically climb via the standard Southwest Face route of the Lobuche East Peak (6,119 meters). After leaving High Camp, we navigate rock, moderate snow, and ice terrain, using crampons for better grip. Our guide will fix safety lines to ensure protection throughout the ascent. The summit offers stunning panoramic views, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Ama Dablam, Pumori, and Cholatse Peak.
Lobuche East (6,119 meters) and Lobuche West (6,135 meters) Peaks are visible from the trekking trail. Lobuche West is ascended via a deeply notched ridge that connects to the East Peak. The permit fees are $350 from March to May, $175 from September to November, $175 from December to February, and $175 from June to August.
Lobuche Peak Climbing in December can be attractive due to the reduced permit fees and less crowded conditions.
We can handle the acquisition of Lobuche Peak climbing permits, manage logistics at Base Camp and High Camp, and provide the services of a professional mountaineering guide. Our guide can assist customers in climbing using fixed lines or in an alpine style. We also offer rental facilities for climbing gear.
First, Laurence Nielson and Ang Gyalzen Sherpa summited Lobuche East Peak on April 25, 1984.
The journey begins with a flight from Kathmandu or Ramechhap Airport to Lukla. The trekking route passes through Sherpa villages, where visitors can explore Buddhist monasteries and observe Mani-Mantra carvings on boulders. Along the way, there’s a chance to spot wildlife such as pheasants, Himalayan thars (wild goats), and musk deer.
