Itinerary

Expand AllCollapse All

    Today we make the very short journey to Lobuche Base Camp at 4,900m/ 16,076 feet. We position our tents by the lake with spectacular views of Ama Dablam and surrounding mountains. On arrival, after a nice lunch, you will go through all the climbing equipment and do some training in the afternoon. You will make sure your harness, crampons, Jumar, and all climbing equipment fit and are ready to use. This is a great day to rest up recover and get rehydrated before moving higher.

      We will wake up this morning in this beautiful lake setting, have breakfast and once all of the gear is loaded, we will make our way to Lobuche Peak High Camp. It normally takes 4 hours to reach High Camp. We will follow the trail towards Gokyo with Ama Dablam and then Cholatse dominating the skyline. We branch off the Gokyo trail and head north. The trail is easy at first and then steep as we head up 450m/ 1,476 feet to High Camp. We take our time and move slowly up to High Camp. We camp beside another lake and rest and prepare for the summit attempt.

        Depending on the weather we may make our summit attempt. Our goal is to leave at 1 am and slowly make the 3-hour journey up to Crampon point at 5,700m/ 18,700 feet. The rocky hike up is steep in places aided by some fixed lines for safety. Once we reach the crampon point we will rope up Alpine style until we reach our fixed lines. Our Sherpa team will fix our own ropes up the steep terrain all the way to the summit. This usually takes 3 to 4 hours to reach the summit. After celebrating we make the long descent back to Lobuche.

        Our team guides, porters and accompanying staff are locals with a broad knowledge about each and every location that we travel through.
