The peak lies at approximately 27 degrees 58 minutes north latitude and 86 degrees 47 minutes east longitude, in the Sagarmatha National Park. Lobuche actually consists of two distinct summits: Lobuche East (6,119m), which is a popular commercial trekking peak, and Lobuche West (6,145m), which is significantly more technical and rarely climbed. The Nepal Mountaineering Association classifies both as Group A trekking peaks.\n\nLobuche West is considerably more demanding than Lobuche East due to the steep, sustained ice slopes on the upper mountain and the more exposed summit ridge. The standard route climbs the south-west face, with Base Camp at approximately 4,950m near Lobuche village. The route then climbs a glacier to a High Camp at around 5,400m, followed by 50-60 degree ice slopes and a narrow exposed summit ridge. The technical difficulty is rated AD on the Alpine grading system, similar to Chulu West.\n\nThe mountain is for climbers with previous mountaineering experience, including ice climbing and the ability to ascend fixed ropes confidently. The rewards at the summit are exceptional: a 360-degree panorama including Everest (8,849m), Lhotse (8,516m), Nuptse (7,861m), Pumori (7,161m), Changtse, and the Khumbu Glacier stretching below. The summit is also one of the best viewpoints for the iconic Khumbu Icefall and Everest Base Camp.\n\nThe approach follows the classic Everest Base Camp trekking route from <a href=\"http:\/\/mounteverestgo.com\/fr\/lieux-de-randonnee\/lukla\/\">lukla<\/a> through <a href=\"http:\/\/mounteverestgo.com\/fr\/lieux-de-randonnee\/bazar-de-namche\/\">Bazar de Namche<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mounteverestgo.com\/fr\/lieux-de-randonnee\/tengboche\/\">tengboche<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mounteverestgo.com\/fr\/lieux-de-randonnee\/dingboche\/\">dingboche<\/a>, and Lobuche, with two acclimatization days at Namche (3,440m) and Dingboche (4,410m). The region is culturally Tibetan Buddhist Sherpa homeland, with traditional villages, ancient monasteries at Tengboche and Pangboche, and prayer walls along the trail. The best climbing seasons are spring (April-May) and autumn (October-November).<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","cost_includes":"All airport pickups and drops in private vehicle\nKathmandu hotel (3 nights, B&B) with welcome and farewell dinners\nDomestic flights where applicable to itinerary\nAll ground transport in private vehicle\nAll necessary permits (TIMS, National Park, Conservation Area, Restricted Area where applicable)\nThree meals daily (BLD) during the trek with tea\/coffee\nTea house or camping accommodation during the trek\nExperienced English-speaking trekking guide and assistant guide for groups of 6+\nPorters (1 per 2 trekkers, 15kg luggage allowance) with full insurance\nSleeping bag, down jacket, and duffel bag (refundable deposit)\nFirst-aid kit, pulse oximeter, and emergency oxygen\nSatellite phone for emergency communications\nAll government and local taxes\nNMA Peak Permit fee\nClimbing guide (Sherpa, NNMGA-certified)\nClimbing equipment (crampons, ice axe, harness, helmet, ropes, carabiners)\nHigh camp tents and cooking equipment\nFixed ropes on summit day\nEmergency oxygen at base camp\nSatellite phone for emergency communication","cost_excludes":"International airfare to and from Kathmandu\nNepal visa fee (USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days)\nTravel and high-altitude rescue insurance (mandatory)\nPersonal trekking gear and clothing\nHot showers, Wi-Fi, device charging, and alcoholic beverages\nLunch and dinner in Kathmandu\nTips for guide, porter, and driver (recommended 10-15% of trip cost)\nCosts from unforeseen events (weather, flight delays, route changes)","itineraries":[{"title":"Arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 Katmandou","content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport with private vehicle transfer to your hotel in Thamel.
