Lobuche Peak Climbing Overview
Lobuche Peak Climbing is one of the most thrilling and challenging climbs in Sagarmatha National Park. Lobuche Peak (6119m) is located above the Lobuche village in the Khumbu region and is in proximity to Mt. Everest at a striking distance of a few kilometers.
Lobuche Peak is comprised of two different summits: Lobuche East (6119m) and Lobuche West (6145m). However, the west peak is considered an 'expedition peak' rather than a trekking peak due to more difficulties and technical challenges. So the eastern peak is the goal of this trip.
The journey to the summit begins from the village of Lobuche via the southern ridge. Both peaks are quite dynamic and adventurous, with a similar topography, forming a pyramid shape for each peak. The peaks cordon off Everest Base Camp for climbers approaching the town of Lobuche. The base camp of the peak is located in the southeastern direction of the eastern peak of Lobuche. The southern and southeastern ridge of the peak forms a triangle, bordering the Khumbu Glacier on its side. It is easily identified by the way of trekking due to the distinct stone memorials.
