Raised above the Lobuche village Lobuche East Peak is 6119 meters peak which is one of the popular trekking peaks in the Everest region. Lobuche East Peak was submitted first by Laurence Nielsson and Ang Gyalzen Sherpa on April 25, 1984.

Although Lobuche East Peak is not a very technical mountain, the summit demands a good number of physical efforts as it is a challenging peak, unlike another famous climbing peak, the island peak(6189m) near the region.

Climbing Lobuche East Peak, you can have the best mountaineering experience while being in this region. Being on the summit of the peak many of the Khumbu region’s highest mountains can be seen such as mount Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Pumori, Ama Dablam, Tawoche, Cholatse, and so many other peaks along with a beautiful valley down below.

For the Lobuche East Peak expedition, we trek through the Khumbu valley of the Everest region following the famous Everest base camp trail. The journey starts after landing at Lukla airstrip(2840m) and continues to Phakding(2610m) and to Namche bazaar(3440m) on the first and the second night of the trek.

In Namche Bazaar we take an acclimatization day in which we hike to a famous landmark of the region, Everest view hotel(3880m). The trek continues to Tengboche on our next day which has a 400 years old monastery. Then, on the 5th day goes to the dryer region of Dingboche(4400m) where we take another acclimatization day in which we hike to NangkarTshang hill(5091m).

After this, our journey goes to the higher region of the trek to Lobuche(4920m) and then goes to Gorak Shep(5160m) on the following day, and on this day we detour to Everest base camp(5364m). The next morning, we went back down to Lobuche after our morning climb onto Kala Patthar(5545m) from where we can take in great views of high mountains, Khumbu glacier, and the valley.

Hereafter the real adventure of mountaineering begins when you get to Lobuche base camp(5050m) where you get some climbing training and instruction before kickoff. The next day before submitting it goes to Lobuche East Peak high camp(5600m) and there as well you have plenty of time to acclimatize.

On your summiting day, you start up early morning around 2 to 3 AM and having breakfast it goes higher ground to the crampon point where you suit up the climbing gears. Then the trail all treads upon the glacier to the Lobuche East Peak summit(6119m) which rewards you with unparalleled mountains, valleys, glaciers, and lakes.

On our journey back we retraced the same trail back to Lukla and take a flight back to Kathmandu to end the journey.

How difficult is climbing to Lobuche East Peak?

Lobuche east peak is listed as one of the trekking peaks among 33 designated peaks in Nepal. Although it has some even 45 to 50 degrees angled inclination EnRoute to the summit, this peak is less technical and has a high success rate of 8 out of 10 climbers.

The walk to high camp begins from Lobuche base camp which is about 5050 meters then it steeply climbs up on the hill and eventually through a rocky trail to high camp at 5600m. Then the trail scrambles on rock slabs for a while and continues on rocky steep trails until crampon points.

After putting on crampons, climbing goes on through the ice and taking some fixed rope in between to the summit where your skill on using ascender, ice ax, crampons, and rope handling come in handy. So overall, it is not that technical but does ask for a good amount of physical fitness and endurance.

How much is the permit cost for climbing Lobuche East Peak?

The cost of the climbing permit of Lobuche peak(east) differs according to the season in which during the spring season which is from “March to May”, it cost $250 USD per head whereas during the autumn season which is “September to November” and it only costs half which is $125 USD per head. Moreover, during the summer season, it only costs $70 USD per head for a climbing permit.

Likewise, you also have to deposit $500 USD for the Garbage deposit which is refundable after your climbing is done.

Useful Info

What is the best season for climbing Lobuche east peak?

There are two best seasons in which you can climb the Lobuche east peak.

Spring season: falls in the months of March, April, and May which are just after the monsoon. So, during this season there are minimal chances of rain, skies turn clearer as well as the ices remain compact which is good for crampons

The Autumn season: falls in the months of September, October, and November which is just after the coldest time of the year when days start getting warmer. During this season the skies remain clear and it provides stunning views of the White Mountains and deep blue sky.

Trekking and Climbing Essentials for Lobuche East Peak Expedition 

Although it differs on each individual choices and interests. The list of equipment below is a general idea that provides some guidelines for gears to bring during your trek and for climbing.

Bringing clothes during the trek is all about how long you can go with smelly clothes vs how often you want to change clean clothes. However, we advise you to bring sufficient and warm enough clothes fit for much colder weather as mountain weather is always unpredictable and especially for summiting mountains. Just for a reminder, you can buy all these gears in Kathmandu as well.

Trekking equipment

  • Duffel bag

You need a duffel bag that is supposed to be waterproof with a strap along with a TSA lock. In your duffel bag, you keep all the clothes and essential gear while trekking up to Lobuche east high camp which will be carried by our porter. Regarding the size, you can choose from 100 liters to 140 liters duffel as this size all you to fit most of the things you need for trekking.

  • Sleeping bag

It is the most important piece of equipment for trekking and climbing. Normally the smaller and lighter the size, the more expensive it is. Regarding the warmth of sleeping bags, down sleeping bags are warmer than synthetic ones. You need to bring a sleeping bag that rates up to -20c and a liner just in case it feels colder.

  • Daypack bag

It’s a daypack bag that you carry while waking where you put your wallet, camera, water bottle, rain cover, fleece jacket, and windproof jacket. Regarding the size of the daypack bag, the size of a small-medium 30 to 40-liters day bag with some side pockets where you can fit your water bottle or gloves is good. Moreover, if you can fit your Camelbak in your daily carry it is more efficient in the coldest weather as your water doesn't get freeze.

  • Water bottle

You can bring two water bottles in which you can drink in one and treat water in another to refill again. (Nalgene water bottle is good as you can put hot water as well if you want) you also can bring Camelbak which can be very handy for climbing.

  • Upper body
  1. Short sleeve synthetic t-shirts*3(while trekking you sweat a lot so, synthetic t-shirts are best to bring as they are light and dry fast)
  2. Wind shirts*1
  3. Long sleeve Merino wool t-shirts*2
  4. Synthetic insulated jacket (you can use it for climbing as well)
  5. Fleece glove
  6. Insulated gloves
  7. Buff (trail gets very dusty with trekkers and animals passing by you so, you can use it as a mask)
  8. Sunglass
  9. Sun hat
  10. Fleece hat
  11. Rain gear or poncho.

Beautiful Nepal

Trekking with Narayan and his team was amazin! One of the best experiences of my life and aside from the vast landscapes and incredible views, the guides on this trip were so informative, humble and just beautiful people. I hope to visit with them again so day and can't recommend their tours enough!
