Lobuche East Peak Climbing

 Lobuche East Peak Climbing in Nepal

While climbing Lobuche East Peak, what matters is the view of the mountains and how the climbing will be, but above all, will the trekking company take me to the summit safely? The trekking trail to Lobuche Base Camp is adventurous because it lies between the Chola Pass, one of the highest passes of the Everest Region and the Everest Base Camp, one of the highest base camps in the world. The trail becomes more adventurous when it takes you to the area that looks like an abandoned area, although it is less frequented by the trekkers who want to trek in the different regions of Everest.

The trail to the Lobuche Base Camp is called the trekking trail, and the trek is called the Lobuche Peak Trek. If you are a trekker who wants to do off the beaten, you can customise your itinerary to include this base camp. So the trekking trail in Nepal can be divided into general route trekking and off-the-beaten trekking. Which you choose depends on how adventurous you are. Lobuche Peak Climbing is different and challenging because of a descent followed by a steep ascent at the time of summiting. It would be best to have oxygen at such an altitude; you don’t have to carry it. Your assistant will. The itinerary of Lobuche Peak Climbing matches the Everest base camp Trek itinerary by 100%. When you reach the summit of Lobuche Peak, you will see a 360-degree view of mountains, including Everest. The main features of  Lobuche East Peak Climbing are:

    ★ The finest view of the mountains of the Everest Region from the summit

    ★ Follow the footsteps of Hillary and Tenzing

    ★ The breath-taking view of Lobuche Peak

Today, you are heading to Monjo, the entrance to the Sagarmatha National Park. The trekking trail takes you to the forest of pine and rhododendrons. Although you will walk through small villages, the famous ones are Tok Tok and Jorsale. Before reaching Namche Bazaar, the largest Sherpa village in Nepal, you will cross the suspension bridge. The trekking trail you will follow goes uphill and makes you tired, but when you reach Namche, you will have enough time to relax.

Day 05 Acclimatization Day (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

As Nepal’s largest Sherpa village, Namche also has exciting places to visit. Its Everest View Hotel is not only famous for unbeatable service but also for a viewpoint from where you can see stunning views of the mountains, such as Everest, Thamserku, Kongdi RI, and Ama Dablam. In addition, the Sherpa Culture Museum, Syangboche Airstrip, and Everest Photo Gallery are on the list you want to visit.

Day 06 From Namche to Tengboche (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

If Namche is the largest Sherpa village in Nepal, then Tengboche is the best spiritual place for Buddhists, including non-Buddhists. Its monastery is famous all over Nepal. Your trek will be incomplete if you do not visit this monastery. To reach Tengboche, you must walk uphill in the forest with small villages and pastures. As you walk the trekking trail, the view of the mountains keeps on coming to your eyes, especially that of Ama Dablam. In addition, you will also see the exceptional view of Everest that will trace to your mind.

The trekking trail passes by mani walls, and colourful prayer flags flutter in the Himalayan breeze. As you reach Dingboche, you will enjoy the lovely view of Everest.

Day 08 Acclimatization Day (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

During acclimatisation in Namche, you visited its exciting places. You can do the same in Dingboche by hiking up Nagarjun Hill.

Ama Dablam, that you see, is the world’s most beautiful mountain.

Day 09 From Dingboche to Lobuche (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

You are heading to the higher altitudes, and you will notice changes in the geographical features as you come across the snowy region and shrub plants. Still, the view of the mountains, such as Lingtern, Pumori, and Khumbutse, will blow your mind. The villages you come across are small and have fewer villagers. Compared to Dingboche, Lobuche is small, and Lobuche Peak is famous worldwide. This is the only village where you spend your night by peak.

Day 10 From Lobuche to Gorakshep and Everest Base Camp (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

Today, you are heading to the base of Everest you have always dreamt of. But first, you have to reach Gorakshep, which used to be the base camp for Everest climbers. You can call this village the last Everest Base Camp Trek village. As you head to the base camp, you will walk by the Khumbu Glacier. When you reach there, you will see the Khumbu Icefall. Unfortunately, no tea houses are on the base camp; therefore, you must return to Gorakshep to spend the night.

Day 11 From Gorakshep to Kala Patthar and Lobuche (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

Before dawn, you begin to trek from Gorakshep to Kalapathar, a perfect viewpoint to see the view of the mountains that will stay permanently with you. The sunrise on Everest Peak is so alluring that you want to capture it with your camera. It is an uphill walk to Kalapathar, which is exhausting, but the downhill walk to Lobuche turns the tired journey into a soothing one.

Day 12 From Lobuche to the Base Camp and the High Camp (4 meals provided, tented accommodation)

You are heading to the point from where you will lead to the summit of Lobuche East. You are heading to a higher altitude; the trekking trail becomes steeper. There are rocks on the way and also glaciers. Even at such a high-altitude place, what satisfies you is the view of the mountains that will keep coming to your eyes. You already have the spirit of climbing, and what you need in addition to this is a rope, and another challenge is to cross the crevasses.

Day 13 From the Lobuche High Camp to the Summit and the High Camp (4 meals provided, tented accommodation)

You climb early in the morning, before dawn, before the wind sets in. You will climb rock and ice surfaces by using a rope. There are also crevasses on the climbing route. You will see a 360-degree view of the mountains from the summit of Lobuche East. After spending some time there, you retrace the climbing route to the High Camp. The Sherpas will set up camps at higher altitudes and decide on the climbing route. They will also cook meals for you, and they will also tell you when to acclimatise. Overcoming technical difficulties while climbing Lobuche East and the Sherpas undertake weather forecasting.

Day 14 From Lobuche High Camp to Pangboche (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

Day 16 From Namche to Lukla (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

As you head to Lukla, you will again see the colourful Buddhist prayer flags and come across chortens, mani walls, and gompas. Crossing the suspension bridges over the glaciated Dudh Kosi River reminds you of the beginning of your Everest journey. Finally, from Cheplung, you will head to Lukla.
