Trip Overview of Lobuche Peak Climbing

There are many 7000m+ peaks on Everest. Among them, Lobuche East Peak Climbing is for those who want to have technical climbing experience. Lobuche East peak is a little bit more challenging than other peaks. Lobuche Peak is divided into East and West sections. Lobuche East stands tall with 6119m height while Lobuche West is 6145m tall. Lobuche East Peak Climbing was conquered for the first time in 1984 and many attempts have been made ever since. We will follow the commercial Lobuche East Peak Climbing route to the summit that remains covered with ice throughout the year.

After much research, Travel experts from Tourist Link Treks & Expedition have arranged for a 19-days Lobuche East Climbing itinerary. We take your security very seriously which is why we have placed enough acclimatization days.

Spring and autumn are the best seasons for climbing Lobuche as the weather remains fine during these periods.

Itinerary

After disembarking at the only International Airport in Kathmandu, you have to go through custom formalities. Exiting the terminal, you will be greeted by our representative who will transfer you to a three-star category hotel for a pleasant stay. Welcome dinner will be served in the evening.

You will be picked up from the hotel and transferred to the office of Tourist Link where you will meet with crew members. After breakfast, you will be provided with a guided UNESCO tour in Kathmandu. The tour begins with a drive to Pashupatinath- the holiest Hindu temple in Nepal. We will also explore Nepal’s largest stupa in Bouddhanath. Next, we will visit Monkey Temple called Swayambhunath. We will also visit Ancient Royal Residence in Kathmandu Durbar Square before taking a leisure stroll through the freak street of Thamel to a restaurant.

We will drive to Tribhuvan Airport, the domestic terminal from where we will take a morning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. We will take fifty minutes of scenic flight to Lukla that takes us close to eight thousand like Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse, and other mountains. We will land at Lukla Airport. We will assemble the crew members and begin our Lobuche Expedition. Walking past small Ghat village, we will cross Dudhkoshi River and reach Phakding where we will stay overnight.

Walking past Phakding, we will follow the picturesque path through the pine forest that rises along the Dudh Koshi River. We will be greeted with the pleasant sight of Thamserku Mountain (6608m). We will enter the juniper forest. We can get panoramic views of Everest and Lhotse. Walking past small highland villages, we will reach Monjo. The entrance to Sagarmatha National Park is located in Monjo. We will follow the path through Hillary Bridge to Namche Bazaar where we will stay overnight.

Our expert itinerary planners have placed one day of rest in Namche Bazaar. Taking rest helps our body in proper acclimatization to the increasing altitude. We can explore around bustling Namche Bazaar or take a short hike to nearby Khunde and Khumjung villages and visit the local monastery to learn about Sherpa culture. Alternatively, we can travel to Everest View Hotel for a better view of Everest Mountain.

Leaving Namche early in the morning, we will follow an easy trail to Phunki which is a small community of tea houses. We will follow the ascending trail from Phunki to Tengboche village. Tengboche is home to Khumbu’s largest Tengboche monastery. Along with Monastery, Tengboche is famous for 360-degree views of Everest Mountain, Nuptse Mountain, Lhotse Mountain, and Thamserku Mountain. A religious ceremony is observed in the Monastery in the evening. Stay overnight in Tengboche.

We will enjoy panoramic views of 8000+ m Mountains from Tengboche and take a hurried breakfast. Our journey begins on this day via birch and rhododendron forest. We will follow the descending trail to Imja River. Crossing the river, we will take the ascending trail to Pangboche. There are two possible routes to reach Pangboche. While in Pangboche, we will visit Khumbu’s oldest Pangboche monastery. We will walk through Imja Valley to the Lobuche River. The raised trail from Lobuche will take us to Dingboche where we will stay overnight.

We will take a rest on this day. It helps in the proper acclimatization of our body to the increasing altitude. Dingboche allows scenic views of Everest, Ama Dablam, and other surrounding peaks and mountains. There are crop fields that are enclosed by stone walls. Agriculture is the major occupation of locals. Potato is the major crop that is produced in Dingboche. Base Camp of Ama Dablam and Chhukung are places of interest near Dingboche. Chhukung is popular for 360-degree views of Makalu Mountain, Lhotse Mountain and Ama Dablam Mountain. Stay overnight in Dingboche.

A day of rest will rejuvenate us. We will follow the ascending trail to Dughla. Our trail takes us through Khumbu Glacier to Chupki Lhara. This is a difficult section to pass. We will move through the memorial site of Babu Chiri Sherpa which is decorated with prayer flags. Proceeding further through the moraine of Khumbu Glacier, we will reach Lobuche where we will stay overnight. We can get scenic views of Khumbutse, Pumori, and other mountains and peaks on this day.

We will leave our campsite in Lobuche and move through boulders and moraines to glaciated Gorakshep Lake. Passing through Indian Army Mountaineers' memorials, we will reach Everest Base Camp. The section from Gorakshep to Everest Base Camp is tricky. So, we advise you to follow the instructions of the guide properly. We will have to face the challenges of thin air and high altitude. We can meet with other trekkers on their way to Everest at Everest Base Camp. Our campsite allows scenic views of Nuptse Mountain, Khumbuste Mountain, and other mountains. We will return to Gorakshep for an overnight stay.

We need to start our trek pretty early in the morning as our aim is to reach Kalapattar for a sunrise view on this day. Kalapattar is one of the popular viewpoints in the Everest region that allows close-up views of Everest, Lingtren Peak, Khumbutse, and other peaks and mountains. After spending some time in Kalapattar for photo shooting, we will leave for Lobuche where we will stay overnight.

After early breakfast, we will leave our camp in Lobuche and proceed to Lobuche Base Camp. This is a relatively easy path to trek. Gradually ascending through a rock-strewn path that will take us to Lobuche Glacier. The path is scenic with views of Ama Dablam Mountain, Cholatse Peak, Thamserku Mountain, Kantega Peak, and other surrounding peaks and mountains. We will reach Lobuche East Base Camp for an overnight stay.

The guide will share Lobuche climbing strategy. We will practice using climbing gears like crampons and axe. We will also learn to move through fixed ropes before making ascend to Lobuche High Camp that is located at 5400m altitude. After a few hours of climbing through the rock section, we will move through the ice. We need to use fixed ropes as well as man ropes whenever necessary. Stay overnight in Lobuche East High Camp.

We need to wake up pretty early in the morning as we aim to reach to Lobuche summit before noon. It is because usually, a heavy wind blows in the summit afternoon. After climbing steep rock sections for a few hours, we will reach 5700m altitude from where the ice section starts. We need to use fixed rope as well as man rope. We will reach to the top of Lobuche East summit which offers scenic views of Everest Mountain, Lhotse Mountain, Nuptse Mountain, Ama Dablam Mountain, Cholatse Peak, and other peaks and mountains. After spending some time at the summit, we will lower down to High Camp where we will stay overnight.

We will lower down from High Camp and follow the trek route to Everest Base Camp all the way to Lobuche. The descending trail from Lobuche will take us to Pheriche. We will enjoy views of Ama Dablam and other mountains. We will move to Pangboche through a picturesque trail lined with rhododendron trees. Arriving at Pangboche, we will visit Khumbu’s oldest Pangboche Monastery and stay overnight in Pangboche.

Leaving Pangboche, we will follow the descending trail to Imja River via Tengboche. Moving further through the rhododendron forest, we will arrive at the suspension bridge over the Dudhkoshi River. Cautious walk through gorges will take us to small Sansa that supports diverse wildlife. We will pass through Army Camp to bustling Namche Bazaar where we will stay overnight.

This is a relatively easy walk. We will cross a few suspension bridges and pass through Phakding village to Lukla where we will stay overnight.

An early morning flight will take us through one of the most beautiful air routes to Kathmandu. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you will be transferred by private vehicle to the hotel. This is a rest day. Optional Sightseeing Tour can be arranged. You can also go shopping in Thamel.
