Lobuche peak has two summits, East and West with heights of 6119m and 6145m respectively. A continuous ridge connects them, but it is long and there are a considerable height loss and gain.
This well-known mountain features twin peaks, which are both famous for their trekking & climbing. This Beautiful mountain is located in between the two higher peaks Pumori and Lobuche, somewhat of a hidden gem in the Everest Region.
The Lobuche East Peak is recognized as a trekking peak by the Nepal mountaineering association(NMA). Whereas the West is known as an Expedition Peak. Lobuche Peak is an attractive mountain in the Everest Region. That offers various existing routes and also the potential for new ones. The dark triangle of the rocky east face rises over the moraines of the Khumbu Glacier is Mount Everest.
Lobuche East is reached by descending a marked notch and then climbing steep snowy slopes to the top. On most occasions, the mountain is climbed via the summit ridge only. As far as a subsidiary snow summit (or false peak), southeast of the true peak, and before the notch.
Laurence Nielson and Ang Gyalzen Sherpa made the first ascent of Lobuche Peak from Eastside on 25 April 1984. However, it is possible that others had reached the summit before but did not record their climbs. To climb Lobuche Peak we follow the Everest base camp route to Gorak Shep, continuing to Kala Pattar, at 5545m, because this offers great views of Everest and good acclimatization.
It is also possible to follow the Gokyo valley and to cross the Chola pass, a route that is also good for acclimatization. Whichever route we take us shall place a Base Camp at Dzongla. And a high camp at 5300m either at a lake or a little higher near a pass. This higher camp has a better view of the peak as well as of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Ama Dablam, Kanchanjunga and Tawache.
