During the peak seasons for the EBC trek with Lobuche Peak Climbing (March to May and September to November), all the Lukla flights will be operated from the Manthali Airport due to congestion at Tribhuvan Airport.
Do you ever picture yourself standing at the top of a majestic peak crossing EBC? The Lobuche Peak Climb offers just that! It combines the journey to the base of the world's highest mountain, Mt. Everest, and climbing one of the most challenging peaks, Lobuche Peak. Being a part of the Everest massif, Lobuche Peak is one of Nepal's most stunning climbing peaks.
It is an exciting journey that introduces you to high-altitude mountaineering in the Everest region. Our trek takes you to the east side of Mount Lobuche. The journey will get you high on adrenaline and leave you wanting more.
So, why wait? Come and join us to set out on this incredible journey to conquer one of the most challenging peaks. The thrill of the Himalayas on the trek will push you to your limits.
After your appearance at the Tribhuvan International Airport, one of our staff will greet you and escort you to the hotel in Kathmandu. Preparing for the trek and climbing the next day, our journey initiates with a thrilling flight to Lukla. Upon landing, we’ll walk for 3 hours and reach Phakding to stay for the night. We will now march to Namche Bazar and stay here an extra night to let your body adjust to the high altitude.
We'll finally reach the Everest Base Camp by passing through small sherpa villages like Tengboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche. In Dingboche, we’ll stay one more night for acclimatization and hike up to Nagerjun. After reaching EBC, we’ll head to Gorekshep for the overnight stay and ascend to Kala Pathar the following morning.
Now we head towards the Lobuche Base Camp. Subsequently, we’ll summit Lobuche East Peak and descend to Pheriche.
After a reserve day for contingency, we’ll backtrack to Namche and then to Lukla. Taking a final glance at the Himalayas, we’ll end your journey by flying back to Kathmandu. You’ll spend a leisurely day in the bustling city of Kathmandu before flying home.
As exciting as the Lobuche Peak Climb sounds, you might be confused about when to embark on this incredible journey. To clear that confusion, we are here with the best times for the climb.
The best times for the Climb are Spring (March-May) and Autumn (September-November). With the clear blue skies and lush green landscapes, the weather during this time is favorable, making the climb more worthwhile. You can walk along the Rhododendron forest during spring, whereas the months of Autumn will give you a different vibe with its cool breeziness.
The weather will be far less predictable and harsher during the winter and monsoon. Hence, we do not recommend climbing during these times. The slippery trails and heavy snowfall could even raise safety concerns.
Did the word peak climbing scare you? Are you intimidated by our itinerary?
Well, to tell you the least, the Lobuche Peak Climb is not an easy one. However, it is still an achievable peak. The journey is graded as challenging and requires you to hike up to the Everest Base Camp and climb Mount Lobuche. Therefore, you need to have basic training in mountaineering. You'll also need prior knowledge of ropes, crampons, and ice axes before the climb.
As you constantly hike at a higher altitude, you need good resistance to keep up with the harsh climate and weather. The altitude illness can be another obstacle in the trek. However, don’t worry! We have prepared the itinerary with enough acclimatization days to avoid altitude sickness.
With its rugged, steep, and rocky trails, the climb also demands you to have good physical fitness and previous mountaineering experience. Nevertheless, our guide will be there with you the whole time. He'll instruct you on the walking pace and breathing patterns during both the trek and the climb.
