Overview
Lobuche Peak Climbing is the most worthwhile peak climbing you'll experience in the Himalayas. The Lobuche climb combines a stunning climb on Lobuche East surrounded by the Himalayan adventure along with the glaciers. The climb also allows you to explore a mesmerizing and nearest view of Mount Everest.
Lobuche Peak Climbing Trip Overview:
Our trek starts with the dynamic flight to Lukla and a steady ascent that passes through numerous distinctive villages filled with lush forests, and glaciers. Taking in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape and tall mountains that lead us to the base of Lobuche Peak, we make our bodies prepared for the climb.
It's obvious that climbing Lobuche Peak is extremely difficult as the journey to the peak begins with the path to Everest Base Camp.
We will enjoy the magical view of the highest peak, Mt. Everest, which gives you a sense of enormous accomplishment. However, scheduling the ascent of Lobuche Peak during a favorable time of the year makes your climb more comfortable. We recommend all climbers ascend Lobuche Peak in the spring and fall.

Itinerary
With your arrival at the Tribhuwan International Airport, Kathmandu, one of the staff will be waiting to kindly welcome you and assist with your easy transport to a hotel in Kathmandu. After getting refreshed, we will go out for a traditional dinner where we will also get a short briefing about our further trip. Overnight in the hotel.
On the second day of the trip, we will spend the time traveling around the places inside the valley. We will take a modest breakfast, followed by our tour of the religious site, Pashupatinath Temple, which is also listed as a World Heritage Site. We will also take a trip to the world's largest stupa, Boudhanath, and visit the monkey temple, Swaymbhunath. We will take a tour around the streets of Basantapur in the evening and spend the night in the hotel in Kathmandu.
After taking an early breakfast, we will go ahead for the spectacular mountain flight of about 30 to 35 minutes over the Himalayas and land safely at Lukla. Lukla is the entrance of the Everest Region. We will start our short hike to the Sherpa Village of Cheplung along with the Dudh Koshi Valley on the way to Phakding. After we arrive at Phakding, you'll rest at a lodge.
On the fourth day, we will leave several unusual towns, suspension bridges, and lush forests on our way to the official checkpoint, the entrance of the Sagarmatha National Park. We will walk toward the confluence of the coupled rivers Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi. In an attempt to get a magical glimpse of the enormous Everest, we will enter the largest sherpa settlement of the Everest region, Namche Bazaar. Overnight at Namche Bazaar.
As we will reach the altitude of 3,400m, we will take a rest day to acclimatize rather than climb higher. We will make plans based on your preferences to take a tour of the surrounding small sherpa communities like Khumjung or the historic sherpa village of Thame. You can spend the rest of the time browsing the internet in nearby coffee shops and cafes. We will then spend the night at the same accommodation in Namche Bazaar.
After breakfast, we will leave Namche Bazaar and trek to Kyangjuma taking the winding trail through the rhododendron forests, memorial stupas, and Sherpa communities. You will pass through snow-capped mountains, cross a suspension bridge over the Dudh Koshi River, and finally enter the Imja Khola Valley. Two hours after this, you will reach Tengboche's summit. We will spend the night at a lodge after exploring Tengboche Monastery, a historic monastery in the Khumbu region.
On this day, we will start our trek after having breakfast at Tengboche. We will move forward by following the stone-paved path towards Chaturje that will take us to the flat trail, passing an alpine meadow and a yak herd before coming to the intersection of the Everest three-passes trail and the normal Everest base camp trail. Taking the on-path walk we pass along with a catchment gentle descent past stone walls that will take us to Pheriche for an overnight stay.
To be very honest, this day will be designated as an acclimatization day since we are getting close to 4,000 meters above sea level. Besides adding any altitude to the journey, we will plan a stroll toward the crest to enjoy the breathtaking vistas of numerous towering peaks. We can use the further time to investigate Tokyo Medical University Clinic or to build up muscles for the arduous trek that lies ahead. Overnight.
We will head towards Dhughla through the valley trail after an early breakfast. Moving forward, we will follow an uphill trail on a challenging, rocky moraine road until we get to a tiny pass at the end of Khumbu Glacier. We will reach Lobuche by taking the south trail. We will be continuing along the west bank of the Khumbu Glacier. In the final hours before spending the night at a lodge in Lobuche village, we will trek across the adjacent hills.
We will spend a short time double-checking all of our climbing equipment and attire. We will first depart the lower base camp and then travel through a rocky moraine route making our way to the high base camp. Once we've set up camp at a high altitude, we will start training for the ascent the next day and then take a long break during downtime. We'll spend this night in a tent camp at the higher base camp at the Lobuche summit.
We will start our ascent early hours, using ropes and other equipment following the Sherpa's directions. After the challenging ascent, we will get a stunning 360-degree breathtaking panoramic view of high peaks, including Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Pumori, and numerous other peaks surrounding Lobuche Peak. After spending a short time here, we will trek down as the altitude is very high and we have to move down as soon as possible.
After breakfast our breakfast, we will move towards Lobuche retracing our steps downwards. We will be walking along the road enjoying the stunning views of Mt. Amadablam, Cholatse, Pokalde, Thamserku, and numerous other nearby peaks. We need to walk a long way back to Lobuche which might take us about eight hours walking at a normal pace. The walk will finally end after we reach Lobuche at the evening. Overnight in a tea house at Lobuche.
We will begin our hike through rocky terrain by following the same previously established track, taking in the varied topography, greenery, monasteries, little walls draped with colorful prayer flags, and unusual towns. We will finally leave the rugged terrain and enter Namche Bazaar.
After a quick breakfast at Namche Bazaar, we will first descend to pass the bridge at the confluence of two rivers, and then we will gently ascend to Monjo. We will reach Lukla by traveling back through the eye-catching towns, suspension bridges, historical sites, and compact terraced farms. We will spend the evenings talking about the trek's memories. Overnight stay in Lukla.
We will enjoy a lovely breakfast in the Khumbu region before making our way to Tenzing Hillary Airport. Porters will be ready to help you move your bag and luggage to the airport while your guide takes care of all the airport formalities and considerations. We will arrive in Kathmandu after a 30- to 35-minute flight in the majestic Himalayas. After we reach Kathmandu, we will organize a farewell dinner in a Nepalese restaurant in the evening, where you may take in cultural and traditional dance and music together with typical Nepalese cuisine.
On the last, day of the trip, you can continue last-minute shopping to buy gifts for your loved ones and friends if you have time. We will assist you with making the necessary preparations and packing. You'll be taken to the airport considering the flight schedule. Hoping you return soon, we will bid you a final goodbye! Thank you! Visit Again Soon.
