Khumbu region is one of the hardest yet full of risk. In the EBC trek with Lobuche Peak, we will be climbing the tough looking peak during the 18-day trip. If you don't have experienced guides like Roving Nepal Trek, the journey could be much tougher. Lobuche Peak stands at an altitude of 6119m which is tough to climb for beginners. There are two dimensions to Lobuche climb Lobuche east and Lobuche west. But the major focus is Lobuche East on this trip. A beginner with no prior experience could hardly do this trip. Internationally EBC trek with the Lobuche peak is termed to be a technically difficult trek. There is much more to know and understand so allow Roving Nepal Trek to enlighten you.
Just to be very clear EBC trek with Lobuche Peak is a tough trek. You will need to be certain to complete this trek. If the trekkers don't have the right set of experience, it is very difficult to do it. From technical skills to using tools like crampons, ice axes, ropes, and climbing techniques, trekkers need to be certain of their talent and abilities. This trek lies 7 out of 10 in the difficulty section.
No, not everyone can do the EBC trek with Lobuche Peak quite easily. To complete this trek you need to have a better trekking experience with high altitude trekking experience. Along with that you also need to have the right mountaineering techniques. Added to that Roving Nepal Trek wants the trekkers to have the right set of physical fitness and people who can endure tough situations for more than 2 weeks. Although Lobuche isn't fully technical basic technical skills are a must to complete the climb safely.
The weather might not play a major part in lots of trekking options in Nepal but EBC trek with Lobuche peak is different. Lobuche peak stands tall at an altitude above 6000m so the best season needs to be calculated. Spring and autumn seem to be the right time to do the trek safely. With clear blue skies, less pollution, a festival feel and highly welcoming people, the trek goes through as a cakewalk. But if the trekkers are thinking of winter and monsoon, you are mistaken. Along with the slippery trails, you will not be able to grip all the tools in the mountains during the climb. So choose the right season which is spring and autumn.
Any trek that goes into the double-digit number of days gets expensive in the end. This particular trek is also expensive but not one which you couldn't afford. The exact pricing is tough to predict as the price depends majorly on the quality of service a trekker or a group wishes to have. Even though there are no hidden charges, the cost could be on the higher side. Roving Nepal Trek has the right amount of cost for the trek. However, it is critical to understand and know tips about the trek. So either call Roving Nepal Trek or visit the office and we will take it from there.
Similar to the Everest Base Camp trek, some much-needed permits need to be fulfilled. Having said that Roving Nepal Trek does take care of every permit that will be required for domestic and international tourists. For solo trekkers, you will need a TIMS card along with Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit. Lastly for Lobuche, you would require the Lobuche East Peak Climbing Permit. With the permits being arranged by Roving Nepal Trek, the cost will also be accommodated inside it which makes it easier. Guests can enjoy their time while we will do all the hassle.
Nepal is a country with endless
trekking opportunities. You will find a new trekking option every once in a while.
Therefore it ain't a compulsion to carry on with the EBC trek attached with the
Lobuche Peak trek.
However, there are plenty of other treks that could be different but provide a great opportunity to understand the beauty of Nepal Trek.
The first day of the ECB trek with
Lobuche Peak is all about reaching the capital. As you arrive in Kathmandu,
there will be a distinct member from Roving Nepal Trek who will receive you at
the airport. Ultimately you will be placed at your hotel.
After arriving in Kathmandu the
second day will be all about strolling around the city. Along with the
last-minute trek preparation, we will visit religious and UNESCO world heritage
sites.
As
we spend two days in Kathmandu, the journey moves towards Lukla early on the
3rd day. It will be a 35-minute flight with the most beautiful views all
around. After landing the trekking team treks to Phakding spending the night
The first day when we will be
trekking for 6 hours is on the 4th day. The team moves towards Namche Bazaar.
Right around the banks of Dudh Koshi, we will reach Namche Bazaar crossing the
forested trails.
As the EBC trek with Lobuche Peak is
tough you will need to have a good acclimatization strategy. The team of Roving
Nepal Trek and the trekkers will be spending the day at Namche. We will visit
Edmund Hilary's school and the library.
One of the important landmarks
during the EBC trek with Lobuche Peak is the Tengboche monastery. We will start
early morning after yoga classes. Leaving Namche we will follow the Imja River,
the rhododendron forest, and lastly Tengboche. Tengboche monastery is famous
here with massive cultural importance.
The trekkers from Roving Nepal Trek
spent the last night at Tengboche. The next morning will come through the same
river, rhodendron bushes reaching Pangboche. Crossing Somara and trekking for
five hours will take you to Dingboche.
As the altitude keeps on increasing,
acclimatization is a critical part when we talk about the EBC trek to Lobuche.
As we spend a day at an altitude of 4260, adjusting to the higher altitude is
important. Trekkers will hike to Nakarjung hills and surrounding peaks to get
the feel of the place.
Following the excellent views of the
mountains, the journey moves towards Lobuche. We will pass through Thugla where
we meet the Khumbu glacier. Following the Thugla ridge we will reach Lobuche at
the end of 5 hours.
On the 10th day of the trek, we will
meet at the Everest Base Camp. Early in the morning, we climb over a few
glaciers to reach Gorakshep. Following the path closer to Khumbu Glacier we
reach Everest Base Camp. It is important to return to Gorakshep as there is no
place to stay at EBC.
On the 11th day, early in the
morning, the Roving Nepal Trek team will reach Kalapatthar to get the most
beautiful view of Mount Everest. Along with that you also have views of
Amadablam, Cholatse, Pokalde Thamarserku, etc. Finally, we will move towards
Lobuche base camp and prepare for the big day.
Before
we actually reach the summit the day will be based around reaching the Lobuche
high camp. It is a 4-hour trek where we will be spending the night. With the
altitude being 5600m some trekkers might have issues
One of the toughest days in the
overall trek is the 13th day when we reach the Lobuche summit. We will be
approaching the mountain from the East side which is an easier path. The
experienced guides from Roving Nepal Trek will fix all the required ropes and
the journey begins. Finally, we make it to 6119m. You will be covered by
mountains all around but sadly we have to return to Thugla.
As we complete the successful climb
of Mount Lobuche we will have to return now. Leaving Thugla behind we pass
through Tengboche, Pangboche, Phungi, Tenga, and later to Namche Bazaar. It is
a 7-hour walk, to say the least.
The journey of the EBC trek with
Lobuche Peak slowly comes to an end. We will be trekking from Namche to Lukla.
Following the Monjo village, Dudh Koshi river we reach Lukla after 6 hours of
trek.
After having an early morning
breakfast, we will be taking the flight from Lukla to Kathmandu. It is a
35-minute flight with beautiful views. Reaching Kathmandu we will get to the
hotel and take the well-deserved rest.
Before departing for your specific
home country we will take a day off to celebrate the achievements. It will be a
city tour, a food hunt, and an opportunity to meet with local people. A guide
from Roving Nepal Trek will help you achieve it.
Sadly the day has arrived when we
will be signing off from a successful trekking journey. A staff from Roving
Nepal Trek will escort you to the airport and help you reach your destination.
