Lobuche Peak lies in the Khumbu region of Nepal. It offers two distinct summits. Lobuche East stands at 6,119 meters while Lobuche West reaches 6,145 meters. Although both peaks connect by a sharp ridge, a significant gap separates them. Climbing Lobuche East requires only a trekking peak permit. However, Lobuche West is an expedition peak and needs more paperwork.

Lobuche East ranks among the most popular trekking peaks in Nepal. It provides panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam. The dramatic east face rises steeply from the Khumbu Glacier.
The first ascent of Lobuche East occurred on April 25, 1984. Laurence Nielson and Ang Gyalzen Sherpa made that historic climb. Today, it remains a favorite for beginner climbers.
In fact, many Everest expedition teams use Lobuche East for acclimatization. It serves as excellent preparation before attempting Mount Everest. Therefore, it is a popular choice among aspiring mountaineers.
We offer well-structured 4 to 6 day climbing clinics on Lobuche East. These programs suit first-time climbers perfectly. They include full logistical support and safety training.
