Lobuche East + EBC Trek
Trek Overview
The Lobuche East Peak Climb combined with the Everest Base Camp Trek is one of Nepal’s most rewarding Himalayan adventures, blending classic trekking through the Khumbu Valley with an exciting alpine summit at 6,119 meters. This journey follows the legendary trail to Everest Base Camp, passing vibrant Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries, and towering Himalayan giants before taking on the technical but achievable climb of Lobuche East. Trekkers first reach iconic destinations such as Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche before stepping foot at Everest Base Camp (5,364m) and climbing up to Kala Patthar for the best panoramic view of Everest. After the EBC section, the adventure transitions to climbing mode, where climbers train at Lobuche Base Camp and High Camp to prepare for the peak. The ascent of Lobuche East (6,119m) offers a thrilling mix of steep snow slopes, fixed-line sections, and glacier travel. The summit rewards you with unmatched views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Makalu, Pumori, and an entire panorama of the Khumbu range. This expedition is ideal for trekkers who want more than the EBC trek—those seeking to push their limits with a Himalayan peak that is both challenging and achievable for fit beginners with proper guidance. With expert Sherpa climbing leaders, acclimatization days, and professional support, the Lobuche East + EBC itinerary ensures safety, success, and incredible mountain memories.
