Trip Overview
Nepal Mountaineering Association has classified Lobuche as a climbing peak because it needs a climbing permit, mountaineering skills, and all the climbing gear as distinguished from the trekking peaks which generally need none.
Lobuche along with the majestic scenery of numerous other peaks of the Khumbu region starts to appear in your sight as soon as you reach Pheriche. Climbers follow the route to Everest base camp as far as Gorakshep and even to Kalapatthar. They treat themselves to the superb view of Everest and other peaks from there. Alternatively, they can also follow the Gokyo valley and go over the Chola Pass. From there, they can reach the base camp of Lobuche, which is below its South-West face.
This base camp also offers unparalleled views of Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Thamserku, Kangtewa, and Tawache Peaks. It is possible to kiss its summit and be back at the base camp. It will take four days from the base camp. Although both summits of Lobuche fall on the same ridge, several small summits separates them. It has considerable ups and downs in terms of altitude. After accessing the base camp, climbers set another camp at a higher altitude. They climb steep icy slopes and proceed to the summit from the second camp.
Numerous peaks in Nepal are attempted by a sizable number of climbers every year. Although most of these notices go unnoticed publicly because Nepal is home to eight of the world’s fourteen eight-thousand-meter-tall mountains. In terms of testing your passion for mountain climbing, your skills, and your adventure; these peaks are almost the same deal as that of the 8 thousand.
