The Adventure

About This Adventure

Lobuche East Peak at 6,119m is one of Nepal's most sought-after trekking peaks — a genuine mountaineering objective with fixed-rope ascent, crampons, and ice axe, yet achievable by fit, acclimatized non-climbers. The summit views encompass Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Ama Dablam.

Highlights

What Makes It Special

Standing on Lobuche's summit with the entire upper Khumbu spread out below — Everest's pyramid, the Khumbu Icefall, and the Western Cwm all visible — is the summit of a lifetime for non-technical climbers.
