Lobuche East Peak (6,119 m) is another famous climbing peak in Everest Region closer to Khumbu Glacier after Island Peak. This peak is more challenging than Island Peak but the views from the Summit of Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Nuptse, Mt. Amadablam, and Mt. Pumori is overwhelming. It is located just above the Lobuche Village and the Base Camp is not too far from the village. There are two peaks namely Lobuche East (6,119 m) and Lobuche West (6,145 m). East Peak is considered as Trekking Peak whereas West Peak is considered as Climbing Peak. There is a long deeply V shaped ridge between two peaks and the steep and long distance makes impossible to summit the West Peak from East Peak. As a reason, East Peak is very frequent for climbing. East peak was first climbed by Laurence Nielson and Ang Gyalzen Sherpa on 25th April, 1984 and Lobuche West was first climbed via South Shoulder on 1955.
As Mt. Everest, world’s Highest Peak at 8,848 m is just a few kilometers away from Lobuche. We expend few more days to go Gorakshep, Everest Base Camp and Kalapatthar which help us to summit the peak as well by gaining the Elevation.
Lobuche East Peak Climbing starts from city sightseeing tour of Kathmandu and preparation. Next day, we take 35 minutes flight to Lukla and follow the Classical Trail of Everest Base Camp Trek passing by Phakding, Monjo, Namche, Tengboche Monastery, Pheriche, Lobuche, and Gorakshep and to Everest Base Camp and Kalapatthar. When we return back to Lobuche, we follow the trail to Lobuche Base Camp and to High Camp. At High Camp, our crew share us technical knowledge and give us climbing training. They show us to fix ropes, harness, ascender, ice axe, boots, crampons and other necessary equipment's.
