Trip Overview

Lobuche lies close to the Khumbu Glacier and has two main peaks, Lobuche Far East and Lobuche East. At 6,119 m, Lobuche East is 26 meters higher.

Although the Lobuche East climb is a bit more challenging than Island Peak climb, it is equally rewarding. From the peak you get amazing views of Everest alongside Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and Pumori.

Lobuche East is also used as a warmup climb for the Everest climbers.
