It’s always further than it looks, always harder than it seems, always taller than it looks, and of course, always more rewarding than you dreamt.

Scaling a height of 6,119m, Lobuche Peak Climbing is known as one of the most adventurous and challenging trekking peaks in the Everest region. Lobuche Peak is full of wild adventure, discoveries, and lifetime experiences. Rated as Alpine V class, it is a partially technical ice wall perfect for global trotters seeking to conquer a medium-sized peak.

With a series of high ridges and steep snowy approaches, Lobuche Peak even challenges amateur trekkers. Thus a perfect fitness level and strong determination is a must to challenge the peak. You will enhance your strength and endurance capacity; by engaging in “Cardio Exercise” a few months before the trip. Squads are the best training to make your legs tough.

Lobuche Peak Climbing follows a rocky trail for up to around 5,770m and then rises via an icy route using climbing equipment. The use of rope depends on the season and the crevasses. Your climbing guide will use both fixed and main ropes whenever required.

Nepal Unique Trek’s Lobuche Peak Climbing itinerary is well scheduled with a proper acclimatization period and climb preparation day for a safe and successful peak ascent. We rise to the high base camp at 5,400m and set a final camp before scaling the peak. Mt. Ama Dablam, Tawache, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, and numerous other peaks accompany you throughout the trek.

Nepal Unique Trek offers a fully supported tented camp with top-notch mattresses for extra comfort. Our expert cook will serve you fresh, hygienic, and delicious food.

Our professional climbing leaders will train you on peak climbing techniques and teach you how to use climbing gears like ice-axe, crampons, harnesses, ascender, descender, ropes, etc. We firmly believe pre-climb training will enhance your skill and confidence to scale the peak successfully and safely.
