Lobuche east peak is one of the most popular trekking peaks in Nepal to climb. It is located at an elevation of 6,119 m (20,062 ft) from the sea level in the Everest Khumbu Himalayan range. The views of Amadablam, Cholaste, Thamserku, Kantega peak, and Tawache peak are superb from here. This peak is an attractive summit and offers various routes for climbing. The normal route for climbing is through South Ridge as Lobuche east peak consists of several small summits and the true summit which requires climbing steep snow and ice slopes to the top from the summit ridge.

You will have a great view of Lhotse Face, Mount Everest, and many other 6000m peaks in the Khumbu Valley. This professionally designed itinerary takes us to the Everest base camp and Kalapattar then to Lobuche Peak, this will give us enough opportunity to get acclimatized and attractive view for our refreshment. Once we return to Lobuche village from Everest base camp with panoramic views of the Himalayas then we trek up to the Lobuche peak base camp. The base camp will be set up at 4,950 m near a lake in a rocky hollow at the base of the glaciated South-West Face. We climb steep stone terraces and snow slopes.

Your adventurous trip begins right after you depart Kathmandu and receive a permit to trek, then after a 35-minute flight through the spectacular Himalayan range, you will land in the historic village of Lukla, the gateway to Mt. Everest. The trek or journey to Lobuche east peak begins from this historic and beautiful village as you will pass through several historic villages including Namche Bazaar, the famous ancient trading post between Nepal and Tibet, Tengboche-which is home to a significant Buddhist monastery, Pangboche-the highest Sherpa village in the region and Dingboche. During your trek you will have lots of options for small acclimatization excursions, these excursions will also make for great photo opportunities in a lifetime.

The best and perfect time to climb or trek the rocky peak of Lobuche is in the spring (April, May) and autumn (September, October, November). Nepal Trek Adventures offers you  Lobuche East peak climbing as a guided climbing trip for groups as well as individuals or groups with minimal experience. Lobuche East peak is more challenging and popular than the other peak so prepare accordingly if you are a previous summer of any 6000 m peaks. Lobuche east peak climbing is not only suitable for beginners, some prior experience, and mountaineering skills are required for a successful summit.
