Trek to Everest Base Camp with Lobuche Peak Climb
This thrilling peak climbing in Nepal begins with the iconic trek to Everest Base Camp. You may wonder why Everest Base Camp Trek before the Lobuche Peak Climbing? Trekking to EBC with Lobuche Peak helps you acclimate to high altitude. Likewise, you don’t have to trek again to reach Mount Everest Base Camp. Climbers can complete both trips simultaneously. When you do the EBC Trek, climbers will reach 5545 meters during the Kala Patthar Hike, which is higher than the Lobuche High Camp (5400m). It allows the body to acclimate and be ready for the summit of Lobuche East Peak. Hence, Lobuche Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp is an ideal combination of trekking and peak climbing in Nepal.
Lobuche East vs Lobuche West, which one is the climbing peak on this Journey?
The Lobuche Peak has two summits: Lobuche East at 6119 meters and Lobuche West at 6145 meters. Lobuche East Peak climbing is a trekking peak suitable for novice to experienced climbers. However, Lobuche West falls into the expedition category, despite being only 6145 meters, because of its technical challenges. Additionally, reaching the summit of Lobuche West is nearly impossible due to navigating the Deep Ridge and crossing the large gap between the two peaks. Therefore, on this Lobuche Peak Climbing Journey, you will climb the Lobuche East Peak.
