| Lobuche Peak is one of those trekking peaks of Nepal which is slightly more difficult than other similar peaks. This expedition involves steep and high-altitude trekking and hard climb. Before you start Lobuche Peak climbing, you have to trek all the way from Lukla to Lobuche Base Camp. For that part of trekking, you will require an average of 5 to 6 hours of trekking per day. The hiking trails are not plain but steep and tiring. Beginners who have not trekked before can face some problems while trekking days. The trek is around the higher parts of the Khumbu region so a foreigner can struggle with altitude sickness.
Once you cross Lobuche village, the trail starts to get rough, steady, and rocky. Some nights until return to the village are meant to be spent in the camp tent and have to eat food cooked by the helper there. This can be a little difficult situation for those who have not climbed a mountain before. The rough trails get steeper and steeper as you head towards Lobuche’s Base Camp. Sometimes while ascending, you need to use mountaineering gears like rope, ice axe to move ahead. Then comes the summit day on which you have to climb the Lobuche East and head back to the base camp. A total of around 8 to 10 hours will be required to do so on the summit day. |
