Approx. 8 hours of walking from Phakding to Namche Bazar is interesting with crossing of 5 suspension bridges across the same river.
The name of the river is Dudh Koshi which translates as milky river in Nepali. Today’s hike is gradual in the beginning and at the end it gets steep after the last & highest bridge.
Today's hike is acclimatization hike, main motto of the hike up to Everest view hotel is to walk higher and sleep lower. We start our hike after breakfast at our guest house and visit national park museum and visit Everest view hotel. After having sip of tea at EVH we will continue our hike to Khumjung monastery.
If you do not want to continue Khumjung village it will take 3 hours for entire hike but if you continue to Khumjung or Khunde village side trip will extend to 4-6 hours, to decide whether you want to hike up to Khumjung village or not, please do read our blog.
5hours of walk from Namche to Tengboche is gradual walk on the side of the towering mountains. Mt. Amadablam gets really close once we get to Tengboche monastery.
Do not forget to buy necessary thing at Namche before you leave this village, as possibility of finding necessary things beyond this point is tough.
Tengboche is originally a monastery place but now it has 5 tea houses with one bakery. Monastery here has foot print of lama sange Dorje while he was meditating many years ago.
This monastery has historic and religious values and belief among Buddhist and this monastery also observes many Buddist festivals in the mountains like; Mani rimdhu, Lhosar, Dumji and many other. Regular offering to monastery happens every morning and evening.
Today's trekking starts though Rhododendron forest, hits Deboche village near Imja river. After crossing Imja River we will get to last real village of the region "Pangboche".
After Lunch at Somare the trail can be windy so be prepared with wind stoppers. For your information we will get to no tree zone from today till the way down after peak climbing.
General idea of today’s activity is to acclimatize our body with altitude, so we hike up to Nangkarsang peak and sleep down at Dingboche. If you go 500 meter from Dingboche and spend around 20 minutes at higher altitude is okay for acclimatization.
But we are happy to take you all the way to the top at 5100m which is 4 hours of walking one way. Way down is steep, make sure you are walking carefully and please follow our guide for your safety.
Lobuche village at the height of 5000meters is a small village. We will hike towards Lobuche after breakfast at tea house in Dingboche; hike will take around 5 hours to Lobuche village. Today's walk is special as we will walk on the side of the towering mountains and trail is wide and scenic.
Thukla pass and memorials at the top of the Thukla pass is attraction of today. Do not miss to visit world highest Bakery at Lobuche with sun-setting at Mt. Nuptse right in front of you.
3 hours to Gorakshep and a lunch break will continue hike to EBC after checking in guest house at Gorakshep. Hike to base camp and back to the tea house will take another 5 hours.
Do not forget to share even a single problem with us during today’s hike, as 1 meter makes a lot of difference in this high altitude. Drink more and do not lose your appetite to avoid AMS and small headaches.
It will take 2 hours to get to the top of Kalapatthar and view of base camp and Khumbu glacier can be screened at once from the top. Kalapatthar being really close to Mt. Pumori will give great view of Pumori ice fall and Chumbu glacier on its foot.
After getting back from the top of Kalapatthar, we will have breakfast and head towards Lobuche village for another adventure to Lobuche peak climbing. The journey to Lobuche follows the same trails that we too on our way up but it will take around 3 hours to get back to Lobuche Village.
High camp of Lobuche is on the top of a big rock, the view of river valley seen on the side of Pheriche is awesome. Take slow steps and drink more water as you might not drink enough in tomorrow’s climb.
Today's trek will be approx. 7 hours to high camp. We will sleep in the tent and eat the food cooked by our kitchen staff.
We will start today's adventure all the way to top, which will take approx. 8 hours to top and 5 hours down to Thukla. Climbing guide will assist your climb and he will make sure the ropes are properly anchored and everything is fixed string.
From the summit you will see great view of Khumbu glacier, Everest right in front of you and many other mountains. Do not be over excited at the top, strictly follow our guide.
Thukla to Namche will take approx. 8 hours. We will follow the same trail from our way up to EBC.
Treat yourself at Namche, a semi civilized town in the mountain.
End of the trek, usually trekkers celebrate together with the whole trekking team, guides and porters, sharing the experience.
This will be the last day together with the whole team.

Lobuche peak is situated in the Everest region of Nepal, on the Nepalese – Tibetan border. Lobuche peak is an extension of Lhotse and Everest. The ridge line drops off Lhotse and right onto the summit of Lobuche peak.
The summit day involves 8 to 10 hours of ascent plus descent to reach the summit and to return back to the Lobuche Base Camp. As for the overall duration, Lobuche Peak Climbing’s itinerary can last from a minimum of 14 days to 20 days. The addition of Everest Base Camp Trek on the Lobuche Peak expedition makes the expedition go long.
Lobuche peak is ideal to climb during the March to May i.e Spring and September to November i.e autumn. Both of the times are perfectly best due to their stable weather, warm temperature, and clear visibility.
Lobuche peak is one of the difficult trekking peaks in Nepal. There is one technical section while ascending the summit where a climber has to ascend 45 degrees steeped snowy trail. That technical section is easily doable with prior mountaineering training and practice with climbing ropes. Other than that, the climb is as easy as other trekking peaks. A simple high altitude trekking experience and climbing training are enough for this expedition.
The chances are good as you will be ascending the high peak of 6,119m. Altitude sickness is prone to everyone who is wandering above 4000m of altitude. If no or fewer precautions are taken then the chances of getting caught by the mountain sickness are real and dangerous too.
Yes, but until the Lobuche village only. From Lobuche, there are no teahouses further and you have to spend overnights in tented camps. Until Lobuche village, there are plenty of tea houses that provide both charging and wifi facilities in extra charges.
We would like to explain to you. We are a local company providing world-wide travelers with internationally qualified services. We provide you with the lowest cost possible for fully inclusive trips that have no hidden fees. We guarantee your safety, satisfaction, and long-lasting memories of your experience.
The climb doesn’t require any pre-mountaineering experience but is physically demanding as you have to climb altitude of 6119m. If you are planning for a trek then it will be better that you practice physical activity like running cycling and regular exercise than only it will easy and comfortable at the time of trekking.
Yes, normally the route to EBC and route to Lobuche peak is same. There are several views points where like Namche bazar, Syngboche, Tengboce you can see the Everest.
Preventing altitude sickness is that avoid flying directly to areas of high altitude, if possible. Take 2 to 3 days to get used to high altitudes before going above 2,500m. Avoid climbing more than 300m to 500m a day. Have a rest day every 600m to 900m you go up, or rest every 3 to 4 days.
More information about Lobuche peak climb after EBC Trek
The peak is named after the Lobuche village at 4950m, which is also one of the Everest Base Camp trek destinations. Every trekker doing EBC trek sees this peak once they get on top of Thukla pass, the memorial place for climbers perished in the mountains. From Thukla pass you can see Pheriche and the beautiful river valley ending at the bottom of the amazing mountain range of Amadablam, Thamserku, Cholatse and many others.
On the other side you will see the surrounding mountains of Everest itself, but Lobuche peak is right in front of you, the one with less snow; the very top is with snow. Location of Lobuche peak climbing is perfect: right before Khumbu glacier and the Everest base camp, enabling a magnificent view of Everest from the top. This adventure is a perfect combination of Everest Base Camp trekking and stunning Lobuche Peak climbing.
Difficulty of Lobuche peak climb after EBC
Previous high altitude trekking experience, for example a successful Everest base camp trek completion, along with preparation to cold temperatures, will certainly help you to get to the top. Climbing above base camp is steep, which makes the climbing both challenging and interesting. If you are planning to climb Lobuche peak, make sure you are fit, both mentally and physically.
General knowledge about climbing, harness, and knots is appreciated but not compulsory. The climbing guide will take all the safety measures and let you know each and every step during the climb. Lobuche peak climbing starts after hiking to Everest base camp and after summiting Kalapatthar 5545 meters. This allows us proper acclimatization, before climbing Lobuche peak.
Itinerary
We started trekking from Lukla after a short and scenic flight from Kathmandu. Following the main trekking route we walked to Everest base camp and after base camp split from the main crowd at Lobuche village. From Lobuche we head towards Lobuche peak base camp, from where Everest base camp trekkers head back to Pangboche.
We get to the High camp of Lobuche by the time they reach Namche, but the day they trek the long way back to Lukla we will hit the top early in the morning for another great view of Everest Himalaya range. After summiting, we descend to Thukla for a joyful celebration of success and head back towards Lukla the following day.
This itinerary is designed to properly acclimatize our clients before attempting the summit of Lobuche peak. Lobuche Peak Climbing is not a trekking peak like Mera peak, therefore a good level of fitness and stamina are required to summit.
