Beautifully nestled in the Everest region of Nepal, Lobuche Peak is a very popular climbing peak in Nepal. It has two main summits: Lobuche East and Lobuche West, connected by a continuous ridge. However, of the two summits, the East summit that stands 6,119 meters (20,075feet) above sea level is the most frequently climbed summit. Lobuche Peak climbing trip in Nepal, along with the heavenly vista of Everest, Ama Dablam, Malanphulan, Kangtega, Thamserku, Taboche, Cholatse, Nuptse, Baruntse and Makalu, offers exceptionally adventurous climbing experience for trekkers looking to gain some mountaineering experience.
If you are physically fit, have some mountaineering skills, including the use of crampons, ice axes and fixed ropes, and previous trekking or climbing experience at high altitudes, embark on our exhilarating 17 days adventure to conquer Lobuche Peak.This 17 days Lobuche Peak climbing itinerary provides a well-paced, scenic and a safe way to summit Lobuche Peak, while allowing for proper acclimatization and rest. You will start with a scenic and thrilling flight that lands at one of the most dangerous airports in the world, the Tenzing Hillary Airport in Lukla. Then following the iconic Everest Base Camp trekking trail, passing through vibrant Sherpa villages (Phakding, Namche, Tengboche, Deboche, Pangboche, Dingboche and Pheriche), monasteries (mainly Tengboche Monastery) and other landmarks, you will hike all the way up to Lobuche, before taking a detour to climb the peak.
The trek to Lobuche from Lukla, including acclimatization days, takes 7 days. 3 days are set aside as a climbing period to climb the Lobuche Peak, on which you will climb to base camp, high camp to the summit and then back to Lobuche. This climbing period also includes one contingency day, in case of bad weather. The summit day is the longest day of the entire trip as the climb generally takes about 8-10 hours.

This challenging yet a very rewarding journey blends technical climbing, breathtaking views, rich cultural experiences and the thrill of reaching a Himalayan summit that offers stunning panoramic vistas.
Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) make the most ideal time of the year for Lobuche Peak climbing due to clear weather and stable conditions. However, weather in the Everest region can be unpredictable, with the possibility of strong winds and snow, especially at higher elevations. Therefore, it’s always advisable to add a few extra days to the trip.

Basically, the rooms are twin share, where you will have to share your room with another member of your group. However, this totally depends on the size of your group and the availability of rooms in the hotel. On request, triple share can also be arranged. Moreover, if you are looking for a single supplement room, extra charges will be applied. During the trek, normally your accommodation is arranged in a local guest houses or lodges with shared amenities. However, in this trek, 2 nights will be spent in a tented camp at the Lobuche peak base camp and the high camp. Most of the guest houses or lodges offer the facility of a hot shower. However, in the absence of hot shower, a few buckets of hot water can also be arranged on request. A full board meal (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and tea and coffee) will be provided during the entire trek. Breakfast and Dinner are provided in the accommodation and lunch is ordered from the teahouse menu. Usually, porridge, toast or chapattis, oatmeal and local bread are served for breakfast. Lunch and dinner are both Nepali and Western (subject to availability) and are simply great.
