Trip Facts
Overview
Lobuche Peak is a trekking peak in the Kumbhu Region of Nepal. The mountain scenery is stunning and the paths are well formed and maintained, which makes for very easy walking. Lobuche lies close to the Khumbu Glacier and has two main peaks, Lobuche Far East and Lobuche East. Although the Lobuche East climb is a bit more challenging than Island Peak climb, it is equally rewarding.
From the peak, you get to explore the amazing views of Everest and other mountains. Members will use our Himalayan Experience Lobuche Peak Base Camp, and as we have made our Everest Base Camp lower than the traditional camp, we will use the Himalayan Experience Everest Base Camp instead of Gorak Shep. Lobuche Peak Climbing is a great trekking peak climbing expedition in Everest region with an exploration hike to Everest base camp. Among the trekking peaks in Nepal, Lobuche Peak Climbing is one of the most technical peaks climbing, even if it is only at the altitude of 6119m from sea level.
Lobuche Base Camp is set up at 4,950m altitude within the rocky hollow and glaciated base. The slope part of Lobuche peak requires fixing the rope, usages of crampon, Ice axe and other essentials which will instruct clearly by our mountain guide at Lobuche Base Camp and High Camp.It is very important to have right seasonal Clothing & Equipments for the safe and enjoyable trek in Nepal. Here below, we have listed the required equipments for traveling to Nepal and its Himalayas. Please remember that you should always try to keep the weight of your equipment to a minimum.

Reviews
Simply put “WOW”.
Simply put “WOW”. I have never met more responsible people in my life. They made sure every step of the way was taken care of from the drivers, tour guides, trek guides, porters and hotel accommodations. I highly recommend this company for its hard working, responsible and friendly people. The people make a company. Special thanks to: Anuja “the planner”, Chitiz & Ashmir “the ultimate trekking guides” and finally Robin “the enthusiastic jungle bird watcher”.

San Diego, CaliforniaPlan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip!
Plan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip! We did the trip that included time in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan National Park and a 5-day trek around Annapurna. From the moment we stepped off the plane, we had guides showing us around and everything was perfectly planned for us. Maila, our trekking guide was amazing and had so much knowledge! It was a great trip!

Boston, MassachusettsIncredibly well organized
This company was amazing. Incredibly well organized. I felt safe and spoiled. Our airport transports were always early and waiting for us. All of our reservations for our accommodations and busses were perfect. The temple tour we took was super fun and educational. Some of our luggage got stuck in our layover country and between this travel agency and our hotel they were able to get it for us and deliver it the next day. We also had a 10month old traveling with us and they made sure that our accommodation and travel plans were safe for him. During our 5 days of trekking, we had THE BEST guide/sherpa. I would positively let them plan another trip for us. Thank you!!!!

I had a wonderful experience
I recently booked a tour with Plan Holidays, and I had a wonderful experience. Anuja scheduled the tour, and it was comforting to have our trip covered without any concerns. Our guide Shiva took us through Kathmandu, and showed all us the highlights of the city and provided us with the cultural and historical background. We also did the Poon Hill Trek with guides Chitiz and Ashmir, who provided a peaceful hike through the Himalayas. On our last two days, we spent time in Chitwan National Park, where our guide, Robin, took us on adventures where we saw crocodiles and rhinos.
The entire package was affordable, and our guides met our every need; they went out of their way for us on many occasions. It was comforting to get off the bus and see our guides waiting for us with our name tags. I would highly encourage anyone to book a trip through this company. I promise that you will have an amazing experience–five stars!
