Overview
Lobuche Peak Climbing is an alternative to Island Peak Climbing for semi-technical mountaineering activities in the Khumbu region. Situated above 6119 m from sea level, it is one of the finest peaks to make climbing activity in the Himalayas. It does not require high mountaineering skills and experience. But you can’t underrate it as its usual risk is the rising altitude in every step with weather conditions and exposure while climbing the peak.
Our approach to the Island Peak begins with a short scenic flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. It takes about 45 minutes to land on Lukla. After that, our journey starts to move toward EBC by walking steadily having sufficient acclimatization in between the trail. After we reach Everest base camp, we then come back to Lobuche to get our ultimate goal i.e. getting to the top of the Lobuche Peak. Trail Himalaya has carefully designed this itinerary with a focus on minimizing altitude sickness problems as well as more entertaining and adventurous.
We stay one night at the base camp of Lobuche before making a climb to the peak. However, we also have a reserve/contingency day in case of bad weather that helps us to complete your adventure journey anyhow.
