Essential Information - Everest Base Camp with Lobuche peak climbing
Lobuche is considered one of Nepal’s most influential and adventurous destinations, situated at the south side of the World’s highest peak. The Lobuche trekking circuit consists of two summits referred to as Lobuche east and Lobuche west, where the east side stands at an altitude of 6119 m and the west side at 6145 m.
Best season to Climb Lobuche:-
Lobuche is generally offered from April to May and from September to November. During these months, the weather will remain dry and stable, making the Hike much more friendly and accessible. However, many trekkers trek during the winter months fighting with extreme weather as the temperature will go under minus, resulting in unpredictable routes.
Preparation required:-
Any peak above 6000 meters is very challenging in altitude and routes. To attempt Mt. Lobuche, you need to be in the good physical condition and may also require some previous mountaineering experience. The courses demand technical aspects and climbing skills.
However, even if you are a beginner, you can get a permit from the Nepal government, but you need to take some medical aid with you during the climb. To survive at 6000 m altitude, you must acclimate to that atmospheric condition.
Routes to Lobuche Peak:-
Several routes are available according to your ability to hike, from challenging to moderate difficulty. The main trail begins from Lobuche Base Camp containing big rocks and snowy areas. It would help if you had a climbing permit from Nepal Mountaineering Association in Kathmandu to go through the mountains.
