Lobuche Peak is a popular destination for mountaineers situated just above the Lobuche village in the Khumbu Region consisting two different summits -Lobuche East Peak (6119m) and Lobuche West Peak (6145m) connected via a knife-edge ridge. Lobuche Peak and Everest Base Camp are one of the best combos of trekking and climbing experience for adventure lovers who wish to enjoy the thrill and technical climbing in the demanding icy terrains and snowy ridges to observe the fantastic view of the world highest peaks.
We trek up through Phakding to Namche Bazaar, after an exhilarating flight from Lukla. Further up is Tengboche Monastery, the largest monastery of the Khumbu region. Further, we make it to Everest Base Camp (5380 meters), an aspiration for trekkers and mountaineers around the globe. From here you can see the infamous Khumbu Icefall, though further up, at Kala Patthar (5545 meters), an even greater view is witnessed. The views from the base camp, the climbing route and ultimately the summit are superb. The summit ridge offers a 360-degree panorama of the region including Mount Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Ama Dablam (6812m), Nuptse (7861m), Pumori (7161m).

ITINERARY
If you can walk 5 miles a day and are in good aerobic shape (with a doctor’s approval), you can do fine and make it. The actual trekking is on mostly level ground with a few sections of steep hillsides – up and down. You should not carry more than a light day pack with a jacket, water and snacks. However, it is the altitude that creates the main issues. That said, the better shape you are in, the more you will enjoy the overall experience.
There’s no specific training needed if you are reasonably fit. If you are completely sedentary, then yes some cardiovascular training would be recommended. Stair climbing or hill walking will get most people ready. Remember you’ll be walking up and down rough paths for 8-12 days. You’ll be at altitude too which will make things much harder. Having a good level of fitness will help you enjoy your trek more and always remember, it’s not a race!

It depends on your route, but EBC trek usually takes about 15 days. We suggest you not to go on a rush trek primarily due to the altitude. You will be landed in Lukla at (9,250 feet) and go to EBC at (17,500 f.). If you go too fast or rush your itinerary, you might get altitude sickness which is harmful.
