LOBUCHE EAST PEAK CLIMBING
OVERVIEW
Lobuche lies close to the Khumbu Glacier and has two main peaks: Lobuche Far East and Lobuche East. At 6,145 meters, Lobuche East is 26 meters higher. Although the Lobuche East climb is a bit more challenging than the Island Peak climb, it is equally rewarding. From the peak, you get amazing views of Everest alongside Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and Pumori. The 19-day Lobuche East Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp Trek combines Lobuche East Peak climbing with the classic Everest Trek. The trip will also take you to some of the most popular places in the Everest region, like Kala Pathar, which provides an excellent view of Everest along with other high mountains.
Trekking is a popular outdoor activity that involves walking and hiking through diverse terrains like mountains, rivers, and forests. It offers pleasure, adventure, and a chance to experience nature's beauty firsthand. Additionally, trekking allows individuals to connect with people in remote areas, gaining insights into their lifestyle and culture.
