Lobuche Peak Climbing

Lobuche Peak comprises two faces; Lobuche East, standing at 6,119m and Lobuche West towering at 6,145m. Positioned above the Lobuche village and the Khumbu Glacier these faces offer contrasting climbing experiences. While Lobuche East is known for its ascent and is popular, among trekkers as a trekking peak Lobuche West presents a more challenging and less frequently attempted climb due to its technical nature. Situated 13.5 Km east of peaks like Mount Everest and Lhotse Lobuche Peak serves as an enticing adventure destination for climbers seeking diverse challenges on their journey, through the Everest Base Camp region.


Climbing Lobuche East Peak is a good choice, for beginners looking to conquer their peak. This trekking peak, while not overly challenging offers a climbing experience that's both beautiful and educational. Those who reach the summit of Lobuche East can then progress to tackle mountains as it marks the beginning of more climbs.


Compared to Island Peak which stands at 6189m Lobuche East Peak Climbing presents challenges. Climbing Lobuche Peak at 6000m requires an understanding of rock and ice climbing techniques in high altitude settings.


One of the reasons why Lobuche East's so popular is the panoramic views, from its summit; Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori Ama Dablam, Makalu and most notably an incredible sight of Mount Everest that cannot be seen from Island Peak.



Lobuche Peak Climbing with EBC trek

The main way to reach Lobuche East is, via the south ridge. Our journey to climb Lobuche East Peak commences with the trek to Everest Base Camp. Upon reaching Lobuche en route to Everest Base Camp we diverge from the EBC path by making our way towards Lobuche Base Camp. Despite this deviation you'll still get to traverse enchanting forests, Sherpa villages and monasteries while soaking in breathtaking vistas of the Khumbu Mountains along the EBC trail. Additionally, you have the opportunity to extend your expedition to include a visit, to the Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar Peak. 


After we make it to Everest Base Camp and the renowned Kala Patthar we soak in the sights of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori and various other majestic mountains. Following our time admiring the scenery we head back, to Lobuche village, which serves as the starting point, for climbing Lobuche Peak.

Lobuche Peak Climbing Route

The adventure begins with a flight, to Lukla from Kathmandu followed by trekking through villages such as Phakding, Namche, Tengboche, Dingboche and finally Lobuche. Upon reaching Lobuche the path diverges from the Everest Base Camp route as we make our way towards Lobuche Base Camp. Located 8.5km southwest of Lobuche village Everest Base Camp serves as an extension to the journey.


Subsequently, the trail for climbing Lobuche Peak leads to Lobuche Base Camp situated at an elevation of 4,950m. Moving beyond the Base Camp involves ascending over the Khumbu Glacier to reach Lobuche High Camp at 5,400m. Nights post Lobuche village necessitate accommodation, in tented camps.


The summit of Lobuche Peak is a stretch away, from the high camp. The trail becomes progressively steeper, beyond the camp leading to a snow ridge that marks the path to the summit. From there the route veers northwest towards the peak passing through some snow bumps and notches. The last leg of the climb involves scaling a section to reach the summit point.

We begin our journey, with a challenging ascent from Namche towards a ridge that winds above the Imja Khola River. Along the way we are treated to breathtaking views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and the picturesque Ama Dablam. Descending through a rhododendron filled forest we reach Phunki Tenga by the Dudh Kosi River for our lunch break. Crossing a suspension bridge over the river we embark on an hour climb through pine and rhododendron woods. Wildlife sightings are common here with chances to spot Himalayan Thar, Musk Deer and pheasants amidst the forests. The trail gradually levels out after exiting the forest before another 1.5 hour ascent through meadows leads us to Tengboche monastery perched on a ridge overlooking peaks like Kantega in the Everest region. The panoramic views, from Tengboche of Everest and surrounding peaks will leave you awestruck.

After leaving Tengboche we take a trail that leads down to the Imja River. Following the river we traverse a path, with mountain views and scenic landscapes all the way to Pangboche village. Situated at an altitude of 3900 meters the village offers breathtaking vistas of towering mountains in the background. Marveling at peaks like Mt. Everest, Mt. Amadablam and Mt. Lhotse we trek up to the pastures of Dingboche passing through meadows and summer camps of yak herders before reaching the expansive pasturelands of Dingboche itself. Known as a summer valley Dingboche transforms into a wonderland in winter. Blooms with beauty, during summer adorned with grasslands and grazing yaks. Tonight we will lodge at a guesthouse nestled in Dingboche.


Today was another day dedicated to acclimatization at this altitude. During our hike, for acclimatization above the town we were treated to breathtaking views of three towering peaks. Makalu, Cho Oyu and Lhotse. All reaching heights of 8,000/26,200 feet. Our objective for the day was to reach an elevation of 4,900m/16,000 feet to witness some of the sights on this journey.

Lobuche Peak is situated in the Khumbu (Everest) region of Nepal 13.5 km from Mount Everest. It is located close, to the village of Lobuche and the Khumbu glacier. 

The peak of Lobuche stands at 6,119 meters (20,075 feet).

Climbing Lobuche Peak can be quite challenging. It is considered one of the trekking peaks, in Nepal due to a technical section where climbers have to navigate a steep snowy trail at a 45 degree angle. However with proper mountaineering training and experience using climbing ropes this section can be managed effectively. Apart from this challenge the overall climb is comparable, to trekking peaks and can be accomplished with basic high altitude trekking skills and climbing practice.

The probability is high as you'll be ascending to the peak at 6,119m. Altitude sickness can impact individuals, above 4000m. Without precautions the danger of succumbing to mountain sickness is real and potentially dangerous.
