Lobuche East lying at an elevation of 6119 m, though counted among the most demanding trekkers’ peaks in the Everest region it is worthy to go for. It requires more dedication and climbing skill to use different climbing equipments. There are two different summits to Lobuche Peak- Lobuche East (6119m) and Lobuche West (6145m). Even though a constant ridge ties them there is a gap and a significant distance amid them.

Lobuche is an eye-catching summit, presenting a variety of offered trails and a wide range for novel lines. If you would wish to make a trip to Everest Base Camp, yet stay for longer time and set off higher then, Lobuche east Peak climbing is the worthy choice. All you need to have is strength to climb higher and get the skills to use crampons, ice axe, ropes and more. Then, our guides and Sherpas will leave you one day back downward the vale to ascend this stunning peak, with finest views of Mt. Everest from the summit of Lobuche. From the stunning Everest Base Camp the route further climbs to a High Camp at an elevation of 5552 m. From the High Camp we will trek further from there messing up to the glacier taking us to the summit of Lobuche at 6090 m. The vertical climb to the edge, on the summit day, is usually fixed with approximately 500 meters long rope.

This 21-days Lobuche East peak Climbing/ Expedition designed by Mountain Sherpa Trekking is a wonderful option to walk into gigantic Himalayan and move higher from the Everest Base Camp. Lobuche Peak is typically technical which requires some basic mountaineering skills necessary to reach to the summit. Even though the Lobuche East climb is a bit more demanding, it is equally worthwhile. From the summit of the peak, you will be greeted by the amazing views of Everest flanking with Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, and Pumori. The expedition will also let you visit famous places in the Everest area including Kala Pathar (5550m) which too provides a superb view of Mt. Everest.

Today we visit Everest Base Camp at 17,500ft/5334m. This is the day we get a small taste of what an Everest climber's life is like living at Base Camp and above for many weeks. You will feel the challenge as you hike up the glacial moraine towards Base Camp. It will not feel much like the movies when you get there. The challenges of living at altitude will be very tangible. Everest Base Camp is a famous but temporary habitat among the glacial boulders and ice of the upper Khumbu Glacier. The full mass of the Khumbu Icefall will not be viewed until you walk into Base Camp, but the creaks and groans of the glacier and the roar of avalanches from the slopes around will be heard during the entire day's hike. We return to our lodge at Gorak Shep with memories that will last a lifetime

During the ascent to Kala Patthar, we can pause to catch our breath at several outstanding viewpoints to click pictures. After several hours of rising, we reach Kalapatthar. From here, we scuttle to climb the rocky outcrop near the summit marked by Cairns and prayer flags. As we reach the top, we sit on the Kalapatthar rocks, and our eyes take in the unbelievable Himalayan views, wandering from one mighty massif to another.

We take as many pictures as we possibly can with our camera so they can last a lifetime. After this we make our way back to Lobuche with a slow descent; for a good night’s rest, which we truly deserve. Overnight at a local lodge after a great day.

We take time and walk at our own pace today as this is the last day of our trek. We experience the Sherpa villages' profound faith in Buddhism and the culture of prayer stones and prayer flags while we walk through the villages.

Vital Information

10 reasons to choose Mountain Sherpa Trekking for the Lobuche East Peak Climbing

1). Top-notch Sherpa Guides

Our whole guides & staff are 100% Local Sherpa people from the Everest region. As you know “Sherpa’s are highly regarded as elite mountaineers and experts in their local area. They were immeasurably valuable to early explorers of the Himalayan region, serving as guides at the extreme altitudes of the peaks and passes in the region, particularly for expeditions to climb Mount Everest”

We have extremely professional, reliable, and experienced climbing Sherpa’s working with us. We have four expert Sherpa guides for each group of ten trekkers on the trail in order to make sure all of our teams have the best chance at safe success in their goals. Since we will employ experienced Sherpa guides, they will take care of everything and will make your trip easy and wonderful.

2). Supporting Our Community

We believe that we all must give back to our society, as a responsible Sherpa Company, we know the importance of giving and supporting those in need. Hence, Mountain Sherpa Foundation has been established to help address the basic needs problems of the deprived people and low-income families of a remote part of Nepal. We work directly with the local communities to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice. We seek to help and to be helped to ensure that poor people can improve their lives and livelihoods.

We continue to help the local community and have helped our Sherpa guides, porters, and staff. As things get worse for tourism workers amid covid-19 pandemic, Mountain Sherpa Trekking director Mr. Pasang Sherpa distributed relief packages to more than 450 Sherpa trekking guides, porters, and climbing guides on 25 May 2020, Similarly, He supported to Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) that has established a food bank for the tourism workers in Nepal during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Mountain Sherpa Trekking donates up to 15% of its annual revenue to Mountain Sherpa Foundation (MSF) Nepal’s projects, which cover regular maintenance of school buildings, Suitable-learning supplies for children in remote areas, providing necessary medical equipment to health posts of the lower part of Everest and so on.                       

3). Quality Run Journeys

Unlike most companies, the Mountain Sherpa Trekking guide will not control the food menu during your trek in Nepal, which means you can select any food from the lodge menu as per your taste. Our guides will provide you with enough meals on their trek as part of the trip price. A lot of times people are only given the same food each day for every meal, and we don’t do this. You are allowed to pick what you eat for each meal in all the lodges we stay in.

Our guides will make sure that you get good quality lodge accommodation & enough hygienic food during your treks and climbs in the Himalayas which is most important for a successful trip.

4). More Acclimatization

Your safety and enjoyable trip are always our priority. Our guide will make sure all of your party is properly acclimatized in the expeditions before going higher. As your know given sufficient time, your body will adapt to the decrease in oxygen at a specific height. This process is known as acclimatization. It normally takes one to two days at any given altitude. This is why having the right itinerary is so essential high altitude trips like Island Peak Climb. Our EBC trek with Island Peak Climbing itinerary includes two nights in Namche Bazaar at 3,500m/ 11,500 feet. Trek to Everest and Kala Patthar at 5,645m/ 18,520 feet earlier to get to Lobuche East Peak hight Camp. We sleep one night at Lobuche High Camp (5,400m/17,720ft) before the summit. We also include two nights in Dingboche at 4,350m/ 14,271 feet, giving you the best chance of success! This will assist to give your body the time it needs to adjust properly.

We also have additional contingency days in case of bad weather conditions or unanticipated reasons. Most companies are not doing this and we have seen over the years that it is the main reason why more people on our expeditions are making it safely to the summit of Island Peak!

5). Climb with an expert local Sherpa Guide

An expert local Sherpa guide leads all of our Lobuche east Peak Expeditions. You can walk through the region with someone who has wide-ranging experience in the mountains and lead groups to safe and unforgettable experiences.

Most of our Sherpa guides have led many trips on Lobuche east Peak, Island peak, Mera Peak, Chulu east, Tent Peak, Pisang Peak, Saribung expedition, Ama Dablam, and Mount Everest and so many more.

If you book far enough in advance, you will be a part of a professionally led trip on our unique itinerary. All of our guides hold current Wilderness First Aid Certificates and climbing guiding qualifications.

6). Over 25 Years of Experience

We have years of experience operating and organizing Mera Peak successfully. Our expert Climbing guides like Mr.Lhakpa Sona Sherpa, Mr. Dawa Sherpa, and Mr. Jangbu Sherpa have climbed Mera Peak over 70 times and climbed other peaks numerous times including Island Peak & Lobuche Peak, and many other peaks. All our guides are from the Everest region where all the highest peaks including the world's tallest peak Mt. Everest are located.

On our Mera Peak climbs, we use quality Tents. We use quality tents on all our camping trekking and climbing trips in Nepal. All our mountaineering gear is stored in Lukla and we carry it into Mera Peak every season. Our own cook Dilli or Kaji will trek with the team to Mera peak in bigger groups.

Porters will carry the majority of our gears and personal packs up the mountain, allowing trekkers time to fully appreciate the surrounding environment.

7). Five-Star Hotel in Kathmandu

We include four nights in a five-star hotel in Kathmandu. Two nights before your trip and two nights after the trip. All of our trips are on a shared basis, but if you prefer a single room, this can be offered at an additional cost. We use the Marriott Kathmandu - Located at Naxal, Kathmandu. Combine the modern design with local creativity or Yak and Yeti Hotel - A centrally located Luxury 5-star hotel in Kathmandu. Which is just a 5-minute walk from the main tourist district of the city.

8). Small Group Sizes

Climb Mera in an open group: this is great for those who want the company of others while they climb Mera. Our group climbs start every day. They are limited to a maximum of 10-12 and are guaranteed to run with a minimum of 2 people. We also organize solo private Mera Peak expeditions, if you are traveling alone, don’t worry we will organize your solo trip as well.

Some of our groups are even fewer people with only 4 or 6 team members. This will therefore give you are more personalized experience on our exceptional trek up to Khare and climb Mera Peak. You can move as a team and experience more of these world-class trails in a smaller group.

9). More Summit Attempts

We have 2 extra days in our 20 Nights & 21 days itinerary since there is no guarantee that we will have good weather on our planned day for the summit. Therefore, this day is set aside as a contingency in case we are unable to summit the Lobuche Peak on the desired day due to bad weather conditions or any other unanticipated reason. We can use that day for summit attempts. The program is designed with this in mind so the guides can manage the team, safety, and summit attempts while having good options. You may need this flexibility.

Drinking-Water:

For many of us, the perfect choice may be to go for mineral water. After all, it’s sealed and safe to drink, plus it provides an income for the local traders – right? Regrettably, things are never quite that simple. Mineral water produces a vast number of knock-on problems for mountain societies.

While it does provide an income to local people it also generates an extraordinary, heart-breaking amount of waste and spoiling. Most places simply do not have the resources to do anything with the empty plastic bottles – and they burn them, releasing toxic gases into the air, or leave them in piles just out of sight of travelers, where they take more than 450 years to decompose.

Take, for example, Mera Peak Trek. The recommended amount of water intake on a high-altitude trek like this is 3-4 litters a day. The trek is 13 days long. That’s more than 40 litter and 40 plastic bottles, which won’t decompose until the year 2466 – per person.

For a full MST group of 12 people, just one trip will result in more than 480 mineral water bottles. And the salt in the wound is that plastic doesn’t decompose at high altitudes, so those 480 or more bottles will be up there forever. But what can you do? You have to drink, so how can you get around the problem?

The Alternatives: The great news is that there are really various options that will help you out of the bottled water trap. Here are just four of the best. All you have to do is pick which one is right for you.

Striped- Steripen is the most trusted model on the market. This technique uses exactly the same process as most mineral water undergoes before it is bottled. It’s UV filtering, exactly the same treatment as the majority of bottled water undergoes to be purified, but on the go. The technology has been around for much longer than you think, but it’s only recently been competitively priced enough to be on the market. SteriPen is an American company; other UV filters are also available.

Boiled water– This isn’t always an option if you’re out and about, but boiled water is an excellent option for safe drinking water on the trek. Boiling the water kills any nastiness lurking there. It is the safest and most convenient option. Most lodges serve it, and it is great to ward off the cold. Prices range anywhere between NPR 50 and 120 per liter. This means the cost of drinking water will be around $40-$60 for an 11-day EBC trek.

Purification tablets– Water refining tablets or chemicals like chlorine dioxide are frequently used. They are easy to carry and cheap to buy. However, they are not as effective as UV filters or boiled water and need a few hours to act. Besides these, LifeStraw and iodine-based treatments are also available but have their drawbacks.

Twin Otter aircraft is the usual mode of transport to and from Lukla. This service is fairly dependable, however in case the flights are canceled due to mountain weather conditions, Mountain Sherpa Trekking & Expeditions will charter a helicopter to ensure you are on schedule for your international flight connections. The helicopters can fly if the visibility is 1500m, while the Twin Otter can fly if the visibility is 5000m as per the Civil Aviation Rules. The cost of the helicopter is payable directly to our Kathmandu office in the event that this service is utilized. US cash, traveler’s cheque, or credit cards (Visa, MasterCard & American Express only) are accepted. You will be given a receipt upon payment so that you may claim the amount from your travel insurance.

The minimum cost will be US$350 and the maximum US$650 depending on the number of group members. The maximum allowance for checked luggage on these flights is 15kg per person and 5kg for hand luggage. These limits are strictly adhered to so please pack carefully. Please note that approx. 5.5kgs of this weight will be taken up by the sleeping bag (2.5kg), down jacket (1.5kg), kit bag (1kg), and sleeping bag liner (0.5kg) that you are provided.
