Overview
Lobuche Peak climbing has two faces, Lobuche East(6,119m) and Lobuche West(6,145m). Our Itinerary is for the Lobuche  East peak. The Lobuche Peak is just above the Lobuche village and the Khumbu Valley.

 As far as the difficulty level is considered it is an easy climb, however, the challenges still exist in the climb. Labuche East Peak climbing is ideal for beginners who want to consider it the very first climb of their life. This peak climbing is pretty easy. This peak offers a beautiful but learnable climbing experience.  After the summit, the climbers can move up towards many other majestic mountains. It is comfortable peak climbing as compared to other mountain peaks.
 
The Lobuche peak climbing is a mixture of challenges. The challenges include snow and ice sections which demand basic mountaineering skills from the climbers. Due to these challenges, it is a perfect option for climbers who want to gain a certain level of Himalayan climbing techniques.

While the peak is not as technically demanding as others, the challenges of altitude and weather conditions must not be ignored. Our guide team members will give 2 days of acclimatization to make your body adjust to the high altitude thus reducing the risk of altitude-related illnesses. These 2 rest days will allow you to practice essential climbing skills and techniques.

Preparation for the Lobuche Peak climbing

Preparing for the trek requires several months of preparation with 4 to 6-hour walks every weekend for stamina and participating in a sport that requires short periods of high exertion.

Medical check-up before going Peak climbing

Being in good health is essential to enjoy your Alpinist Club trip fully. If your last medical visit was more than four years ago, please get another general physical exam and tell your doctor the nature of your trip (climate, altitude, difficulty, etc.). The altitude also has the effect of reviving dental problems or other chronic pain, so getting a dental checkup is also prudent. If you are undertaking a high-altitude expedition, we advise you to consult a mountain medicine specialist.


Acute Mountain Sickness

This trip takes place at high altitudes so that some people may experience altitude-related discomforts like headaches, loss of appetite, and swelling of limbs. Most of these symptoms usually go away within a few days, but sometimes they can develop into a serious illness: pulmonary or cerebral edema. There are no preventive drugs for AMS. Diamox diuretic is often effective for symptomatic relief, but you should first check with your doctor to verify that it is not contraindicated for you. Think about it before you go.
