Country: Nepal
Duration:
19 days
Description
A true Himalayan mountain adventure, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, with views of peaks such as Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Makalu, and Mount Everest
Lobuche East Peak is known as the toughest trekking peak to climb in the Everest region.
The mighty Lobuche East stands tall with 6,119m height in the scenic Khumbu region.
This peak offers more challenges than its neighbours, Mera Peak and Island Peak, and has a more technical feel to it. It is a better choice for those who have had some mountaineering experience in the past.
Climbers have to face the challenges of tricky rock slabs, 45-degree ice slopes and sensational exposure throughout the Lobuche East climbing route to the summit. Although not an easy peak to climb, the Lobuche summit rewards climbers with an exhilarating view of Himalayan panorama in the Everest Khumbu region including Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, and other mountains and peaks.
The itinerary combines Lobuche East Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp Trek. You will also be climbing to Kalapathar for better acclimatisation and for a closeup view of Everest, the highest mountain in the world.
