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.
