‘Trek and climb on classic Lobuche peak climbing with an awesome adventure of a lifetime experience’
Lobuche Peak Climbing in the Everest region of Nepal is the epitome of all peak climbing adventures in Nepal. Among many trekking peaks permitted to climb, this adventure is classed as TD that means technically difficult. However, you can climb the mountain with the peak climbing permit as you don’t have to get the expedition permit. If you want to do the expedition of higher mountains like Mt. Everest, do the Lobuche climbing first. It helps to prepare for the expedition and gain the much needed mountaineering experiences. Thus, the peak is suitable for novice first-timers and veteran climbers.
Lobuche has two peaks, those are Lobuche East (6119 m) and Lobuche West (6145 m). In order to climb the West Lobuche, climbers need to get the expedition permit. Therefore, if you are buying the Lobuche Peak Climbing package, it is for the East Peak.
In the surrounding of Khumbu Glacier and village of Lobuche, the Lobuche is situated. On the way to Everest Base Camp, trekkers can see this magnificent mountain on their left alongside mountains like Tabuche and Cholatse. Some people wonder that they can reach the summit of the West Peak after doing the East Lobuche Peak Climbing. Unfortunately, it is next to impossible as there is the huge crevasse and cliff wall in between these two mountains.
Climbers get to the base camp of Lobuche Peak after visiting the Everest Base Camp (5364 m). The accommodation and food are arranged in the tents by the Sherpa crew members during the summit push. The trail up to the high camp of the mountain is relatively easier. From the high camp to summit, climbers have to climb the arduous long stretch. As the climbers nears the summit, the trail becomes steeper. The route is through the snow ridgeline and snow notches. A steep climbing from these notches takes climbers to the top of the Lobuche Peak. Relish the splendid and panoramic view of the mountains from the top of the mountain.

Subject: Thanks for a great trek
Message: We have just completed a 15 day Himalayan trek with Awesome Nepal Treks and it could not have been better! The trek was very well organized, had excellent food and accommodation, there was no problems whatsoever and our guide Dil was a very informative, well-spoken and absolutely entertaining guy. The whole experience was amazing and I would strongly recommend Awesome Nepal Treks to anyone who wants a great, enjoyable, hassle-free trip.
My cousin and I traveled to Nepal in 2011 and completed the Everest Basecamp Trek with our guide Dil Thapa.
Dil absolutely made sure this trek would far exceed my expectations and I am grateful for the time we shared together in Nepal.
There are an endless amount of photos and videos online for us to see the natural beauty of Nepal before arriving there. The greatest compliment I can give Nepal (more specifically, Dil Thapa) is this, the beauty of Nepal is its people first and foremost.
Trip Name: Short Poon Hill Trek
Booked this trek from the comfort at home in the UK. Communication with Dil was brilliant, his response to all my emails were quick and courteous. He tailored the trek around us, as a small group of 4 adults ranging in age from 29 to 69 (who was still recovering from an ACL op last May). His pace was brilliant for our group.
Dil arranged to meet us in our hotel in Kathmandu and talked us through the trek, bringing maps, holdalls and T-Shirts.
The trek was for 3 nights, 4 days staying in good, clean lodges. All was included except our drinks.
We experienced trekking in glorious sunshine up to Poon Hill. There was still snow on the ground and Dil provided the group with crampons, which made walking easier and safer.
Our trek started and ended in Pokhara. Dil and his team collected us from our hotel in Pokhara promptly at the time agreed.
Dil and the porters were brilliant, the porters were more than porters and made our trek even more enjoyable. We felt totally safe and Dil was an excellent guide. The scenery was spectacular.
Would certainly use Awesome Nepal Treks again as Dil arranges trips to Tibet and Bhutan.
