Lobuche Peak Climbing

Lobuche Peak is a well-known trekking peak of Nepal located in the Khumbu region. Consisting of two faces; Lobuche East(6,119m) and Lobuche West(6,145m), the Lobuche peak lies just above the Lobuche village and Khumbu Glacier. Peaks like Mount Everest and Lhotse lie just 13.5 Km east from the Lobuche Peak.

Lobuche Peak climbing serves as great acclimatization or practice climb for seasoned mountaineers attempting to climb a much higher mountain – Mount Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, etc. This Peak is very approachable for trekkers and first-time climbers who are comfortable with high-altitude trekking. Having some experience in alpine climbing (using ropes, harnesses, and jumars) would be helpful but not necessary.

Of two faces, the Lobuche East is an easily climbable peak and thus regarded as the trekking peak. On the other side, Lobuche West is less frequently climbable and more technical and hence listed as the expedition peak. So, Lobuche East(6,119m) is the summit point of Lobuche Peak Climbing, not the Lobuche West.
