Lobuche Peak is a famous climbing peak for climbers who are looking for some extra adventure and challenges in the Everest region. Lobuche Peak also acts as a warm-up for many mountaineers who are contemplating summiting higher mountains. Situated above Lobuche village, Lobuche Peak has two main peaks; Lobuche East (6,145 m) and Lobuche Far East (6,119 m). Both peaks are located near Mt. Everest (8,848 m). From the top of Lobuche Peak, you will see stunning views of the surrounding Himalayas. We, Snowland Treks & Expedition has professionally designed our Lobuche Peak Climbing itinerary including Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar viewpoint to make the journey even more exciting and stunning.

Lobuche Peak is more difficult than climbing Island Peak because more technical climbing is involved. From the summit of Lobuche Peak, you will see amazing views of the Everest region probably seen by only a handful of travelers. You will see panoramic views of Mt. Everest (8,848 m), Mt. Lhotse (8,516m), Mt. Nuptse (7,855 m), Mt. Pumori (7,161 m), Mt. Ama Dablam (6,856 m), Mt. Baruntse (7,720 m), Mt. Thamserku (6,623 m), Mt. Makalu (8,475 m), and numerous other mountains.
