Join us on an unforgettable trip to Lobuche Peak With Expeditions High Mountain
Lobuche Peak is a popular destination for mountaineers situated just above the Lobuche village in the Khumbu Region. Lobuche peak is a perfect challenging activity addition for a visit to the Khumbu region. We Expeditions high mountain have plenty of experience with this mountain and would be keen to take you on this adventure. The peak is technically not too challenging for climbers with some experience (rated PD+) but no mountain should be underestimated with the usual dangers arising from altitude, exposure and weather conditions.
Lobuche has two different summits- Lobuche East Peak (6119m) and Lobuche West Peak (6145m) connected via a knife-edge ridge. Base Camp is located to not far from the Lobuche village to the south. It gives easy access to the south ridge. Lobuche East has a very dramatic edge to the east, forming a three-ridged pyramid. South and Southeast Ridges form a typical rock triangle extending to the Khumbu glacier moraine. The peak dramatically towers over the village and is easily identifiable from the Everest trail.
We approach Lobuche via the Everest trail from Lukla, after a short 35-minute flight from Kathmandu and 20 minutes from Manthali, Ramechhap. We make our way through various Sherpa villages towards Namche Bazaar – the key-trading town of the region providing access to the higher valleys. We continue to the famous monastery Tyangboche (Tengboche) on the way to which we should get our first view of Everest and Lhotse. We continue all the way to Gorak Shep (5170m) as part of acclimatization phase. then take on Kala Patthar (5,550m), a satellite peak of Pumori, for a classic view of Mt. Everest and the Khumbu Icefall. We can visit Everest Base Camp EBC (5,350 m) which is only a short hike away. then return to Lobuche where we pick up supplies and trek to Lobuche . Allowing for a further 1 day of acclimatization we then start the Trek to high Camp 5,600 m) Camping Overnight on Moraine Rock, then start to climbing along the South Ridge Via Rock,snow and ice, to the summit (6119m).
The views from the base camp, the climbing route and ultimately the summit are superb. The summit ridge offers a 360-degree panorama of the region including Ama Dablam, Pumori, and Everest. Certainly an unforgettable experience!
