Nepal Mountaineering Association has classified Lobuche as a climbing peak because it needs a climbing permit, mountaineering skills, and all the climbing gears as distinguished from the trekking peaks which generally need none.

Lobuche along with the majestic scenery of numerous other peaks of Khumbu region starts to appear in your sight as soon as you reach Pheriche. Climbers follow the route to Everest base camp as far as Gorak Shep and even to Kalapathar to treat themselves to the superb view of Everest and other peaks from there. Alternately they can also follow the Gokyo valley and go over the Chola Pass to reach the base camp of Lobuche, which is generally established below its South-West face.

This base camp also offers unparalleled views of Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Thamserku, Kangtewa and Tawache Peaks. It is possible to kiss its summit and be back to the base camp in about four days after reaching the base camp. Although both summits of Lobuche fall in the same ridge, they are separated by several small summits and considerable ups and downs in terms of altitude. After accessing the base camp, climbers set another camp at a higher altitude by climbing steep icy slopes and proceed to the summit from the second camp.

Numerous peaks of Nepal are attempted by a sizable number of climbers every year, although most of these notice go unnoticed publicly because Nepal is home to eight of the world’s fourteen eight-thousand-metre tall mountains. In terms of testing your passion of mountain climbing, your skills, and your adventure; these peaks are almost the same deal as that of the 8 thousanders.
