Lobuche Peak Climbing is an excellent introduction to Himalayan mountaineering. It can be combined with Everest Base Camp, Three High Passes, or Cho La (mountain pass) treks in the Sagarmatha National Park. The tallest peaks on Earth surround it.

The Lobuche Peak Climbing is also a favorite of mountaineers as an excellent training activity before they head to Everest or the Ama Dablam expedition.

We climb through the regular Southwest Face route that most groups follow on Lobuche East Peak (6119m). Leaving  High Camp, we climb through the terrain on rock, moderate snow, and ice in crampons. Our guide fixes the line to protect more en route. The summit of Lobuche Peak is an excellent viewpoint that allows seeing Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Ama Dablam, Pumo Ri, and Cholatse Peak.

Two peaks in the distance are known as Lobuche East (6119m) and West (6135m). The Lobuche West can climb through a deeply notched ridge combined with East Peak.

We can obtain climbing permits, manage logistics, and support an experienced mountain guide and porters. Our guide can help the customers climb on fixed lines or the alpine style of their choice. We can also help anyone looking for ventures into little-known climbing routes of any mountains in Nepal.

There is an uphill walk to Mong La from Kyanjungma. We could see Yaks, Naks, Chauri, and wild mountain goats (Himalayan Thar) en route. We take a cup of tea at Mong, which has stunning views of Mt. Ama Dablam. Then, we catch a steep downhill to Phortse Thanga through Rhododendrons and pine forest. After crossing the bridge, there comes uphill to reach Phortse village.

We then follow the Khumbu glacier northward to Gorak Shep, where we drop our luggage at the room. After a quick lunch, we prepare a day bag to hike up to Everest Base Camp through a rocky trail along the side of the Khumbu glacier. We touch the famous Khumbu icefalls and glaciers at EBC (5364m) where we spend an hour, surrounded by the beauty of the Himalayas. Then, we return to Gorak Shep for a night's stay, filled with the excitement of the day's adventures.
