Treks and Expeditions
Lobuche West Peak Climbing
Trip Duration : 20 days
Lobuche West Climbibg starts after a flight to Lukla. The Lobuche West peak lies in the Khumbu Himalayan Range of the Everest region. This is more challenging & technical than the Lobuje East. The Lobuche West is also taller than its eastern cousin, and stands at a height of at 6,145m. Earlier, only Lobuche East was allowed for trekkers, the Western peak required expedition permit. The Lobuche West was recently opened by the NMA for the trekkers as well. The sharp ridged & snow areas of the mountain require the climbers to be roped and use crampons and ice axe. The team of experienced high altitude Sherpas assists and guides the group with the climb and a team of porters and low altitude Sherpas work for the organization of equipment, tents and food.
