Lobuche East (6,119m/20075ft) is located in the world famous Khumbu region of Nepal. The high mountains of Nepal offer a unique challenge to mountaineers. You won’t find this combination of breath taking scenery and diversity of terrain anywhere else in the world. Lobuche East is considered one of the more technically demanding and aesthetic trekking peaks in Nepal. Our route will take us over varied mixed terrain via fixed lines. Lobuche consists of two different summits, east and west with the heights of 6,119m and 6,145m respectively. A continuous rim ties them but there is a sharp gap and a considerable distance between these two summits. The east is recognized as a trekking peak whereas the west is identified as an expedition. The first to scale Lobuche East was Laurence Nielson and Ang Gyaljen Sherpa on 25th April 1984.
