Labuche Peak Climbing in 17 Days

Labuche lies close to the Khumbu Glacier and has two main peaks, Lobuche Far East and Lobuche East. At 6,145 meters, Lobuche East is 26 meters higher. Although the Lobuche East climb is a bit more challenging than Island Peak climb, it is equally rewarding. From the peak you get amazing views of Everest alongside Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and Pumori. The 19-day Lobuche East Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp Trek combines Lobuche East Peak climbing with the classic Everest Trek. The trip will also take you to some of the most popular places in the Everest region like Kala Pathar, which provides an excellent view of Everest along with other high mountains.

ACCOMMODATION 

We will be staying at 3-star hotel in Kathmandu (2 nights), standard tea houses during trekking (9 nights) and tents when climbing (4 nights). Most tea house accommodations will only have shared toilet facilities. For tent accommodations, a 4 season sleeping bag and foam mattress will be provided. In climbing sections, toilet facilities will be provided with necessary natural preservation. All accommodations are on twin-shared basis. However, a single room will be provided on request and by paying a single supplement of USD 350. Also, understand that there are several places that do not allow single room accommodation. On paying single supplement, you will get a single room in Kathmandu but sometimes it is feasible only up to Namche Bazaar.

MEALS

During our Labuche Peak Expedition, we can enjoy traditional Nepali, Tibetan, Indian and the more common continental cuisines. A welcome dinner, a farewell dinner and breakfast will be provided during your stay in Kathmandu. During trekking/climbing, breakfast will be taken in the same place we stay the night. Similar arrangements can also be made for dinner. Lunch will be taken en route to the next destination. During climbing session, hygienic, freshly-cooked food will be provided.

Labuche  Peak is not a technical peak but you will still require a good stamina to summit it.

You will also need to have ample high altitude trekking experience. There will also be a pre -ice climbing training for participants in the Island Peak base camp.

BEST TIME TO TRAVEL

Autumn (Sept. to Nov.) and Spring (March to May) are the best seasons for trekking in the Annapurna region. The weather is sunny and warm with outstanding views. If you wish to avoid crowds and enjoy some alone time with nature, then taking this trip during winter (Dec., Jan., Feb.) could also be an option. However, the temperature during winter could be harsh for most guests. Trekking in the summer or monsoon season (June to Aug.) will be affected by rain but the summer trek could be a boon for a keen botanist.
