Climb Lobuche East Peak
17
days
We highly recommend Lobuche East Peak to anyone with mountaineering experience looking for an exciting challenge. You can look forward to walking across a knife ridge, crevasses, and various different kinds of snow. The effort is more than worth it as the views from the top are truly rewarding: you can see Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu and many more majestic peaks!
Detailed Itinerary
Day 13: Trek to Pheriche (5-6 hr)
Today you descend in elevation, with your end goal being the village of Pheriche (4,371 m), which sits alongside the Tsola River. Pheriche sits a little way off the main Everest Base Camp trek route, and so is a quieter village. It's surrounded by some glorious peaks, including Taboche (also known as Tawache), Cholatse, Lobuche East, Lobuche West and Ama Dablam.
Day 14: Trek to Namche Bazaar (5-6 hr)
Today's trek takes you back onto the classic Everest Base Camp trek route which you hiked on the outward journey up until Lobuche. Ama Dablam presides over the trail, which turns from one through sparse, hardy alpine vegetation to one through evergreen trees. After the past two weeks of trekking, your overnight destination of Namche Bazaar feels a bit like a bustling metropolis.
Day 15: Trek to Lukla (6-7 hr)
You hike the same stretch of trail you traversed on Day 1 of your trek, which now feels so long ago! You have the afternoon to rest in Lukla before the flight back to Kathmandu tomorrow. That means there's plenty of time to head out for drinks and dinner together to celebrate the milestone achievement of having summited Lobuche East Peak and trekked to Everest Base Camp and back.
Day 16: Fly back to Kathmandu
This morning, weather permitting, you embark on the short but breathtaking flight back to Kathmandu. You then head to your boutique hotel in Thamel. You might like to just relax and visit a spa or laze in the hotel's swimming pool. However, if you're keen to sightsee, there's so much on offer. In fact, Kathmandu Valley is home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Swayambhunath stupa (or 'Monkey Temple'), Boudhanath stupa, and Changunarayan temple.
Day 17: Departure day
It's farewell time. Your guide drives you to the airport and bids you farewell. We feel confident that you're heading home with indelible memories of your time spent among the mountain gods of Nepal.
