Trip Overview
Lobuche peak climbing
One of a sharp peak to climb, standing on the corner of Everest Base Camp trek and Chola pass hold the technical climbing routes of Nepal.
Lobuche Peak 6119m lies in very close proximity to Khumbu Glacier. Which looms above the village named Loboche caters to one of the best views of Mt. Everest. Climbing Lobuche peak asks for the sheer vertical snowy climb and ice skills. Climbing this peak almost treads along the entire trails of famous Everest Base Camp Trek.
The adventurous mission to the summit of Lobuche peak kicks off at Lukla followed by a short and gripping flight to Nepal’s one of high altitudes airstrips at Lukla. Following the course of famous Everest Base Camp Trek, we shall hike along Dudh Koshi River Valley emerging frequently at small Sherpa settlements for a breather. After a couple of days of the trek, you will arrive in Namche, a vibrant Sherpa capital of Khumbu. After a day rest at Namche to get used to with the high altitudes our adventure towards Lobuche peak resumes.
We cross several traditional villages of Khumbu like Tengboche, Pyangboche, and Pheriche, and finally, arrive in Lobuche. Lobuche is the summer settlement of Sherpa people as well as the best Base Camp located at 4950m to summit Lobuche Peak. Hiking over a small lake of Tsho La Tso, which lies under the southwest face of Lobuche Peak at 5000m+ altitude, we set up the High Camp above. We begin the technical part of climbing to the summit of Lobuche Peak on a clear weather window morning. The final effort to the summit has the hurdles like steep rocky climb, which also demands maximum ice skills.
The incredible view of soaring Himalayan peaks in the Khumbu region including Mt. Cholatse, Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt. Pumori, Mt. Khumbu Himal, Mt. Everest, and Tawache are superb from Lobuche Summit.
