Description
Description of Lobuche Peak Climb
Lobuche Peak climb with We Ramblers is a thrilling high-altitude adventure in Nepal’s Khumbu region. This expedition combines trekking and mountaineering, making it a popular choice for climbers seeking a challenging ascent. The journey begins with a flight to Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region. From here, the Lobuche East expedition follows a well-established trail through traditional Sherpa villages. The first few days allow for gradual acclimatization as the route passes through Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, and Pangboche. The higher altitude demands physical endurance and proper acclimatization.
At Lobuche village altitude (4,950 meters), trekkers begin to experience thinner air. The trail from Lobuche leads to Lobuche High Camp (5,400 meters), where climbers prepare for the final push. The ascent involves navigating steep ice slopes, rocky ridges, and a technical climb to the summit. Fixed ropes are used in some sections, and climbers must be familiar with using crampons and ice axes.
Lobuche Peak stands in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas, near the Khumbu Glacier in Nepal. It lies close to Everest Base Camp, making it a popular climb for those seeking a technical mountaineering challenge. The Lobuche peak trek follows the Everest Base Camp trail, passing through lush forests, Sherpa villages, and glacial landscapes before reaching the Lobuche peak summit.
The climate varies significantly at different elevations. Lower regions like Lukla (2,860m) and Namche Bazaar (3,440m) have a moderate climate with warmer daytime temperatures and cooler nights. As trekkers ascend to Pheriche (4, 371 m) and Lobuche village altitude (4,950m), temperatures drop, and oxygen levels decrease. At Lobuche High Camp (5,400m), climbers experience sub-zero temperatures and unpredictable winds. The final push to Lobuche Peak elevation brings harsh alpine conditions, icy slopes, and extreme cold, often reaching -20°C (-4°F) or lower. Weather can change rapidly, so proper acclimatization and gear are crucial for a successful climb.
The total Lobuche peak climbing distance depends on the starting point and acclimatization schedule. Most expeditions cover approximately 62 kilometers (38 miles) from Lukla to Lobuche village. The summit push from High Camp to the Lobuche peak summit is around 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) but involves a steep ascent that takes several hours.
The route follows the classic Everest Base Camp trek, passing landmarks such as the Dudh Koshi River, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, and Gorakshep. The trek to Kala Patthar offers panoramic views of the Everest massif before heading toward Lobuche Base Camp.
Climbers spend a night at Lobuche High Camp, where they undergo final preparations. The day of the summit starts early, often before dawn. Climbers navigate a steep ice wall and exposed ridges before reaching the summit. The descent follows the same route back to Thukla and continues toward Namche Bazaar.
The Lobuche peak climb cost varies depending on the expedition package. At We Ramblers, we provide a complete package covering transport, permits, guides, porters, equipment, accommodation, and meals.

The best seasons for climbing Lobuche East are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These months offer stable weather, clear skies, and safer climbing conditions.
- Spring: Ideal for warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours.
- Autumn: Offers crisp air and clear mountain views, making it a preferred choice for many climbers.

Itinerary
Itinerary of Lobuche Peak Climb
Altitude of Kathmandu: 1,355 m / 4,446 ft.
The adventure begins in Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital. Upon arrival, climbers settle into their hotel, attend a pre-trek briefing, and prepare for the journey. This day allows time for last-minute shopping for climbing gear.
Altitude of Lukla: 2,800 m / 9,186 ft.
Altitude of Phakding: 2,652 m / 8,700 ft.
Duration of Trek: 3 hours.
A breathtaking flight to Lukla marks the official start of the expedition. The first trek of the journey descends through forests, rivers, and small Sherpa settlements before reaching Phakding.
Flights to Lukla depart from two airports: Kathmandu or Ramachhap. Flights depart Kathmandu Airport during the low season, and Ramechhap Airport during the peak season. Ramechhap Airport, also known as Manthalli Airport, is located 150 kilometres from Kathmandu and takes roughly four hours by road to travel one way.
Altitude of Namche Bazaar: 3,440 m / 11,286 ft.
Duration of Trek: 6 to 7 hours.
The route from Phakding to Namche Bazaar follows the Dudh Koshi River, with several suspension bridge crossings, including the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge. Along the journey, visitors enter Sagarmatha National Park through Monjo village, where permits are checked before crossing a hanging bridge to Jorsale village. Jorsale is a popular lunch spot before Namche Bazaar, and there are no other options to eat food beyond this location.
After Jorsale, we cross another hanging bridge and continue for a km along the river valley before crossing the renowned Hillary Bridge and ascending steeply to Namche Bazaar, the vibrant gateway to the Everest region.
Altitude of Khumjung: 3,790 m / 12,434 ft.
Duration of Trek: 2 hours.
We don’t spend two nights in Namche Bazaar like many people do; instead, we climb to Khumjung village and acclimate there. Khumjung is 350 meters higher than Namche Bazaar and offers a serene stay with beautiful views all around. Today we start late and go to the Namche Museum grounds for views of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and other summits.
After Namche Museum, we take a short hike to Everest View Hotel (3,880m) in Syangboche, from where you can witness panoramic views of Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, and several mountain peaks. After leaving the Everest View Hotel, we travel to Khumjung Village and stay.
Altitude of Debuche: 3,860 m / 12,664 ft.
Duration of Trek: 6 to 7 hours.
Today we will travel to Debuche, which is located just after Tengboche Monastery. The initial path from Khumjung to our lunch destination, Phungithanga, is mostly downhill or flat. Following lunch, the trek to Tengboche Monastery is uphill and requires crossing numerous stone steps.
Tengboche Monastery, the most prominent Buddhist monastery in the region, offers breathtaking views of Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and Everest from the ground beside the monastery. After Tengboche, the trail descends completely till we reach our day’s halt.
Altitude of Pheriche: 4,371 m / 14,341 ft.
Duration of Trek: 4 to 5 hours.
Today we will trek to Pheriche, which will take about 5 to 6 hours. After Debuche, we’ll cross the Lobuche River and climb uphill to Pangboche village. Pangboche is a large Sherpa neighborhood with amazing views of Mount Ama Dablam to the right and Everest and Lhotse to the front. Pangboche is the trail’s official last village; beyond that, every settlement serves as a teahouse for trekkers.
After Pangboche, the trail is almost flat and follows the Lobuche River till Shomare. Shomare is the last stop before Pheriche, and you can eat your lunch here. Following Shomare, the trail becomes barren and windy. The trail is moderate until it splits into two parts; the trail on the right leads to Dingboche, but we stay on the same trail and trek steeply to the top of Pheriche Pass, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view of Mount Ama Dablam. After Pheriche Pass, the trail descends and flattens until it reaches the Pheriche Valley. Pheriche Valley is a large area with changeable weather; gloomy and windy days are common. Pheriche has numerous teahouses to stay in, so we will spend the night in one.
Altitude of Pheriche: 4,620 m / 15,157 ft.
Duration of Trek: 2 hours.
Today’s walk is short and easy, with a maximum time of two hours to reach Dughla/Thukla. The majority of the walk is flat, with only a little section that is slightly hilly before arriving at our teahouse in Thukla. Thukla is a little settlement with only two tea houses; people rarely remain here overnight; instead, trekkers utilize it as a lunch stop on their way to Lobuche. However, we will spend one night in Dughla before heading to Lobuche to thoroughly acclimate ourselves before the major event. Dughla offers a beautiful view of Lobuche Peak.
Altitude of Lobuche: 4,950 m / 16,240 ft.
Duration of Trek: 3 hours.
Today’s trip from Thukla to Lobuche is also short, lasting no more than three hours. The walk begins with a tough uphill hike until you reach the summit of the Dughla Pass. Dughla Pass is filled with memorials, including many for prominent climbers who died in various missions. After Thukla Pass, the trail descends and flattens till we reach our teahouse in Lobuche. Lobuche is a little teahouse community that overlooks Mount Nuptse.
Altitude of Gorakshep: 5,170 m / 16,962 ft.
Altitude of Everest Base Camp: 5,364 m / 17,598 ft.
Duration of Trek: 8–10 hours.
Today we will leave early to begin our trek to Gorakshep. The walk begins flat until Lobuche Pass, after which it climbs and descends along the Khumbu glacier moraines. The Khumbu Glacier is on your right till you reach Gorakshep.
After arriving at Gorakshep, we will freshen up, pack our lunch, and continue our journey to Everest Base Camp. The trail to the base camp follows the moraines of the Khumbu Glacier, where you will go up and down several times before arriving at the base camp, which is located on the glacier near the Khumbu Icefall.
We will spend some time at the base camp before beginning our return journey to Gorakshep. The base camp offers a panoramic view of the Nuptse and Pumori, although Everest is not visible from there. After arriving at the Gorakshep tea house, you can rest and relax.
Altitude of Kala Patthar: 5,645 m / 18,520 ft.
Altitude of Lobuche: 4,950 m / 16,240 ft.
Duration of Trek: 7 hours.
Today, we trek to the summit of Mount Kala Patthar, which will take between 2 and 3 hours. The top of Kala Patthar offers a stunning panoramic view of Everest, Nuptse, the Khumbu Icefall, and the Khumbu Glacier. The peak offers a magnificent view of Mount Pumori. After some time on top, we will begin our return trek to Gorakshep and continue on to Lobuche. The return travel is simple and takes three hours to complete.
Altitude of Lobuche: 4,950 m / 16,240 ft.
Today is a relaxation and acclimatization day at Lobuche; this rest day is essential for the next adventure.
Altitude of Lobuche Peak High Camp: 5,400 m / 17,717 ft.
Duration of Trek: 3 to 4 hours.
Today we will begin our journey to Lobuche Peak High Camp, also known as Advance Camp; it takes 3 to 4 hours to get there from Lobuche. The trail to high camp is similar to the trail you have traveled during the last three days. The trail’s final section passes past large stones similar to those found on Kala Patthar’s summit before reaching the flat ground above. Our campsite is located around a magnificent glacial lake and offers stunning views. After reaching the high camp, we will relax briefly before beginning our basic training season for the last ascent.
Altitude of Lobuche East: 6,119 m / 20,075 ft.
Climbing Duration: 5 to 6 hours.
Duration of descent to Pheriche: 5 hours.
Today is the final event of our journey, and we will attempt to summit Lobuche Peak! By midnight, we’ll wake up, freshen up, have tea/coffee, and prepare for the final climb. The beginning trail does not require any technical gear until we reach the crampon point. The lead guide will take us down the snowy trail, and we will follow his instructions to the peak. The fixed rope will be available where it is needed.
The last stretch of the peak is narrow and steep. Once you reach the summit, you can see the entire Everest zone clearly. You can see Mount Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu. On a clear day, one can even see Mount Shishapangma. Apart from the 8000 meters, the Lobuche peak offers many 7000-meter views, including Gyachung Kang, Pumori, Nuptse, Sharitse, and Baruntse.
We will snap photos and videos at the top before beginning our return journey to base camp. We will descend using the same route we did to ascend. You must use caution while descending a few sections. After arriving at our tent, we will refresh and begin our descent to Pheriche.
Duration of Trek: 6 to 7 hours.
Today we will return to Namche Bazaar along the same trail that we took earlier.
Duration of Trek: 6 to 7 hours.
On the final day of our journey, we will travel to Lukla via Monjo and Phakding.
Today, we will return to Kathmandu. We will fly to Kathmandu or Ramechhap, depending on the flight operations. If the flights go to Ramechhap airport, it will take another 4 hours by road to reach Kathmandu from there. After arriving in Kathmandu, you can celebrate your successes.

FAQ
FAQ of Lobuche Peak Climb
The Lobuche Peak climbing distance varies depending on the itinerary, but the standard route covers approximately 90-130 kilometers (56-81 miles) round trip. The journey begins from Lukla, following the Everest Base Camp trail, passing through Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Pheriche, and Lobuche village altitude before reaching Lobuche High Camp. Climbers then ascend to the Lobuche Peak summit at 6,119 meters (20,075 feet) before returning. You can contact us directly to learn more about the route.
The Lobuche Peak difficulty is categorized as challenging due to its steep ridges, glaciated slopes, and high-altitude conditions. Unlike regular trekking peaks, climbing Lobuche East requires the use of technical climbing equipment such as crampons, ice axes, fixed ropes, and harnesses. Climbers must navigate through icy slopes and rocky sections while adjusting to low oxygen levels. The final ascent involves a 45-degree to 50-degree incline, making it more demanding than other trekking peaks.
The Lobuche peak climb cost varies depending on the services included, the duration, and the season. At We Ramblers, our packages cover permits, guide and porter fees, accommodation, meals, internal flights, and climbing gear rental. However, personal expenses, international flights, insurance, and emergency evacuation are not included. Book with us today to ensure a safe and well-organized climb.
Climbers need several permits before attempting the Lobuche Peak expedition. The Lobuche Peak permit cost includes the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) permit, which varies by season (USD 250 in spring, USD 125 in autumn, and USD 70 in winter and summer/monsoon). Additionally, climbers must obtain a Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit (USD 30 per person) and a Khumbu Rural Municipality Permit (USD 20 per person). These permits are mandatory and must be arranged before the climb.
The best time for Lobuche Peak trek is during spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November). These seasons offer clear skies, stable temperatures, and favorable climbing conditions. Spring provides warmer temperatures and blooming rhododendrons, while autumn features dry weather and excellent visibility. Winter (December-February) is extremely cold, with temperatures dropping below -20°C (-4°F) at higher altitudes, making it more challenging. Monsoon (June-August) brings heavy rain, slippery trails, and poor visibility, which are not ideal for climbing.
The Lobuche Peak elevation is 6,119 meters (20,075 feet), making it one of the higher trekking peaks in Nepal. Altitude sickness is a major concern as oxygen levels decrease significantly above 3,000 meters (9,800 feet). Symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, and loss of appetite. Proper acclimatization, hydration, and a gradual ascent are crucial to reducing the risk.
A standard Lobuche Peak itinerary takes 15-18 days, including arrival, trekking, acclimatization, summit day, and return. The itinerary follows the Everest Base Camp route, with gradual altitude gain to avoid altitude sickness. Days are spent trekking through forests, high-altitude villages, and glacial valleys before reaching Lobuche High Camp.
Although Lobuche East climb is considered a trekking peak, it requires basic mountaineering skills due to steep and icy terrain. Previous experience with high-altitude trekking is highly recommended, along with knowledge of using ice axes, crampons, and fixed ropes. Beginners should train for endurance, strength, and altitude adaptation before attempting the climb. Hiring experienced guides and Sherpas is essential to ensure safety and proper navigation through technical sections.
Accommodation along the Lobuche Peak trekking route includes tea houses, lodges, and tented camps. In lower elevations like Lukla, Namche Bazaar, and Tengboche, tea houses offer basic yet comfortable rooms, meals, and warm blankets. As the trek reaches Pheriche and Lobuche village altitude, facilities become more basic with shared rooms, limited heating, and fewer amenities.
The expedition demands strong physical endurance, stamina, and mental resilience. Climbers must prepare with cardiovascular training (running, hiking, cycling), strength training (leg and core workouts), and altitude adaptation exercises. Since the climb involves rocky trails, glacier crossings, and steep ascents, it is crucial to train for long trekking hours and high-altitude conditions. A structured fitness plan for at least 3-6 months before the climb improves success rates and ensures a safe and enjoyable journey.
