Lobuche Peak Climbing

Do you fancy one of life's ultimate challenges? Are you fit and willing to push yourself just that little bit further? Then why not come, join us, and commit yourself to this spectacular peak in the mighty Himalayas?

Situated at the foot of the Khumbu Glacier on the Classic Everest Trail, Lobuche Peak Climbing is a stunning example of what the Himalayas are all about. It sits a stone's throw away from the highest rung on the stairway to the heavens, and as you would expect, like any caring big brother, mighty Mount Everest is with us on our climb. You do not need to be an experienced mountaineer, as you will receive training from our mountain Sherpas. However, you do need to be fitted with enough stamina to reach the goal. Some previous experience in the use of crampons would be a bonus, and in addition, some knowledge of the use of ropes and fixed lines would also be useful. While designated as a trekking peak, Lobuche is a testing climb that needs to be treated with respect.

Lobuche Peak, at an elevation of 6,119 meters (20,075 feet) above sea level, is frequently used by mountaineers as acclimatization and practice before attempting to summit Everest. Although it is technically more difficult and more strenuous than Island Peak, the reward is a very special one, providing 360-degree out-of-this-world vistas within a sea of white peaks stretching as far as the eye can see.

We begin this epic journey to Everest Base Camp with Lobuche Peak Adventure in the colorful, riotous capital of Kathmandu, where we have two days to adjust, explore, and soak up the culture. A briefing is held to go through the itinerary in more detail and make any necessary last-minute preparations for the challenge ahead. The fun begins after boarding our small plane for the 35-minute flight along the spine of the Himalayas to land at the Sir Edmund Hillary airstrip at Lukla, carved into the hillside. From here, we embark on our journey as we move up the Khumbu Valley to reach our goal. The days are carefully crafted to allow our bodies to fully acclimatize along the way, with rest days slotted in.

The Khumbu is a very special place, enriched by the unique culture of its inhabitants, the legendary Sherpas. For devout Buddhists, the trail to Everest Base Camp is laced with monasteries, chortens, and colorful prayer flags. Trek alongside yaks, monks, and mountain expeditions heading for Everest and other great peaks. We are more than prepared for what is to come by the time we arrive at the base of Lobuche Peak Climbing, a Himalayan summit experience that often shapes lives for many years to come.

Buzzing and often floating as we make our way back down the trail to Lukla and eventually back to Kathmandu for a celebratory party.

Furthermore, you may choose our other exclusive climbing packages, like Island Peak Climbing, Mera Peak Climbing, or the Everest Three High Passes Trek with Island Peak Climbing.

Lobuche Peak Summit Trek Difficulty

The first part of the journey is the Everest Base Camp Trek, which involves long days of hiking at high altitudes that reach up to 5,364 meters at Everest Base Camp. 

Lobuche Peak is graded at the ‘2B’ level in the Alpine Grading System. It is among the practice peaks recommended for beginners but mountain climbing requires some technical skills, such as using an ice axe and crampons, rope management, and hiking on glaciers. The route involves steep ice and snow, crevassed glacier moraines, and rocky terrain.

Combining the Everest Base Camp Trek with the Lobuche Peak adventure involves trekking at high elevations, gradually gaining altitude before culminating in the 6119 metres of Lobuche Peak. This kind of significant peak climbing and trekking can cause altitude sickness if proper acclimatization is not followed.

Although Lobuche Peak Summit Trek is not technical compared to other challenging mountains in Nepal, the high altitude and long days make it very exhausting. The summit day is particularly arduous and requires 8-9 hours of steep climbing on snow and ice. 

Moreover, the success rate is around 8 out of 10 climbers, so with proper fitness, you can navigate the summit more easily.

Best Season For Lobuche Peak and Everest Region Trek

Nepal experiences four distinct seasons, each with its charm. However, Spring and Autumn are widely considered the best times to embark on the Everest Base Camp trek with Lobuche Peak Climbing.

Spring Season

After the chill of winter subsides, the Everest region welcomes spring, marked by mild temperatures and clear skies that offer breathtaking views of the mountain ranges. Spring is renowned for its excellent visibility of the peaks and stable trail conditions, making it an ideal time for trekking and climbing. Daytime temperatures range from 5 to 20 degrees Celsius. This season is also notable for the blooming period, which fills the region with the fragrance of flowers in full bloom.

Autumn Season

Autumn is equally revered as one of the best times of the year for trekking and peak climbing in the Everest region. The season is enriched by festivals such as Dashain, Tihar, Mani Rimdu, and Lhosar, providing a unique opportunity to immerse in the local culture and lifestyle. The weather during autumn will be stable, featuring clear skies and mild temperatures, particularly favourable in October and early November. Daytime temperatures range from 1 to 15 degrees Celsius, with crisp and clear air that enhances the visibility of the majestic Himalayan peaks.

Useful Information

Tips For A Successful Climb to Lobuche East Peak

  • Start training 2-3 months before your trip, focusing on cardiovascular fitness, strength, and endurance.
  • Acclimatize well by taking rest days, especially after reaching high altitudes.
  • Ensure you have proper and high-quality gear for the journey. 
  • Hire a guide and porter for the journey. 
  • Drink at least 3 to 4 liters of water every day. 
  • Carry lightweight snacks such as energy bars, dried fruits, and nuts. 
  • Be prepared for extreme cold, snow, and strong winds. Check weather forecast daily. 
  • Pay attention to how your body feels throughout the trek and climb. If you’re feeling fatigued, rest. 
  • Ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance that covers high-altitude climbing, helicopter evacuation, and medical treatment for emergencies.

Accommodation During The Adventure Trek to Lobuche Peak

The Everest region, despite its remote location in the mountains, is known for providing relatively luxurious accommodations compared to many other trekking areas in Nepal. Up to Namche Bazaar, trekkers can find luxurious teahouses in lower elevations. These teahouses offer amenities such as private rooms, attached bathrooms with hot showers, and even Wi-Fi connectivity.

As trekkers ascend further, particularly from Tengboche onwards, accommodations typically transition to common rooms with attached bathrooms. While these lodgings may be more basic compared to the tea houses at lower elevations, the Everest region maintains a reputation for ensuring good availability and quality of accommodation throughout most of the journey.

Note: as per the classic package of NTE offers a private room with shared toilet bathrooms. If you would like to upgrade the service, talk to us.

Food During The Adventure Trek to Lobuche Peak

As one of the most visited trekking destinations, Everest offers a wide variety of food choices to cater to different tastes and dietary preferences. Local Nepali cuisine, such as Dal Bhat (lentil soup, rice, vegetable curry, pickle, etc), Potato dishes, Thenduk (hand-pulled noodle soup), and Thukpa (noodle soup), is readily available. For those preferring vegan or continental dishes, there are ample options to satisfy any craving.

However, as you ascend to higher altitudes, the availability of luxury food facilities may diminish. Nonetheless, teahouses and lodges along the trekking routes provide basic yet nourishing local meals that ensure a balanced diet. These options include dal bhat (rice and lentils), vegetables, potatoes, eggs, and sometimes meat, depending on the elevation and accessibility of supplies.


Transportation To Lobuche Peak Adventure

For the Lobuche Peak expedition, transportation begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, a small mountain town in the Khumbu region that serves as the gateway to Everest region. You will land at Lukla's Tenzing-Hillary Airport and these flights are operated by domestic airlines such as Tara Air, Yeti Airlines, and Sita Air. This flight will typically take about 30 to 35 minutes.

Flying to Lukla is the most common and practical way to start the Lobuche Peak trek as there are no motorable roads to this remote area. From Lukla, trekkers begin their journey with a scenic trek towards the Everest Base Camp region, passing through Phakding, Namche Bazaar, and other iconic spots along the way.

In case of emergencies or if you prefer to avoid trekking from Lukla, some travelers choose to hire a helicopter to fly directly to Everest Base Camp or other destinations, but this option is much more expensive.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is crucial when embarking on trekking and peak climbing adventures in Nepal, given the inherent risks like altitude sickness, adverse weather, accidents, and medical emergencies. It's essential to have comprehensive coverage that includes specific aspects:

Firstly, coverage for high-altitude sickness and provisions for helicopter evacuation in emergencies are paramount. This ensures prompt medical assistance and evacuation if needed due to altitude-related issues.

Secondly, the policy should encompass accidents and injuries that may occur during trekking or climbing, providing financial protection for unforeseen medical expenses costs.
Additionally, comprehensive travel insurance should cover emergency medical care beyond altitude sickness, including any unforeseen illnesses or injuries, flight cancellations or delays that may arise during the journey.

Lastly, it's advisable to ensure coverage for lost, stolen, or damaged equipment, including personal belongings and climbing gear, which are essential for the trek and climb.

Before departure, it's essential to carefully review insurance policies to confirm they adequately cover both trekking and peak climbing activities in Nepal. If necessary, consider obtaining separate policies or consulting with insurance providers to ensure comprehensive coverage for all anticipated risks and activities.

Telephone, Wifi, And Battery Charging During Lobuche Peak Expedition

Even in the high elevations of the Everest region, access to internet and telephone services is available, although their reliability can vary as you ascend.

Many tea houses along the trekking routes offer Wi-Fi access with a fee, typically ranging from $3 to $5 per day. Similarly, there are areas with phone services and mobile reception so that trekkers can stay connected with the outside world.

To ensure continuous connectivity throughout the trek, it's advisable to purchase a local SIM card from providers, like Nepal Telecom in Kathmandu before starting your journey. This allows you to make calls and use mobile data where available along the trail.

It's important to note that charging facilities for electronic devices may vary by accommodation. Some tea houses may allow you to charge devices in your room, while others may charge a small fee (more or less 5 USD in local currency for a device charging) for charging in the main dining hall. Carrying a power bank is recommended to ensure you can charge your devices regardless of the availability of electrical outlets.

Porter

Porters are invaluable helpers on treks in Nepal. They carry your luggage and allow you to fully enjoy the journey without the burden of heavy loads. While hiring a porter is not mandatory, it enhances your trekking experience by lightening your load. Typically, a porter costs around $25 per day including his salary, meals, accommodation, transportation, and insurance and can carry up to 20 kilograms of weight. It's advisable to hire porters according to your specific needs and the weight of your belongings so you can trek comfortably while they handle the logistics of your gear. This arrangement supports the local economy and contributes to a more enjoyable trekking experience in the Himalayas.

      Challenging but Rewarding trip

      I contacted Nepal trekking Experts to organize Everest Base camp with Lobuche East climbing. From the beginning to the end of the trek it just went perfectly. The organization from Rajesh was effortless and the guide Prakash and porter Bal Rai were so helpful, very caring, flexible on plan, informative and knowledgeable.

      While I did not have climbing experience, the climbing Sherpa Nima(met in Lobuche) did a great job too. He is local from the region and a very professional climber. He said he climbed Lobuche East more than 50 times. He is the real expert. I had provided all the necessary gears such as helmet, crampons, ice axe, rope, carabiner, jumar etc. The last part of climbing was so tough for me but of course it was rewarding and a lifetime memory.

      Overall it was a great experience and I can’t wait to get back soon for the next trip.
