Peak Details
Highlights
Lhotse is a spectacular Himalayan peak located south of Mount Everest and linked through the South Col. With an elevation of 8,516 m (27,940 ft) and prominence of 610m, it is the fourth tallest peak in the world. Lhotse has the most prominent mountain face at 3.2 km high and 2.25 km wide.
This stunning peak shares the same route as that of Mt Everest, passing through the South Col. From “Geneva Spur,” the route to the Lhotse summit takes you rightward through a steep climb on a long couloir. The Western face is generally the most preferred climbing route.
Lhotse massif includes three different summits. The Lhotse Main is the highest among them, with 8,516 m in elevation. The other summits include Lhotse Shar (8,383 m) and the Lhotse East/Middle (8,413 m). The Lhotse Main was first submitted in 1956 by a Swiss team.
While crossing the Lhotse face, you will encounter Lhotse Couloir, a huge ice gully. It is the most challenging part of the expedition. Moreover, there are steep 80-degree inclines as well in the mountain. Mountaineers must know the proper use of equipment to tackle many technical sections above 8000m.
To arrive at the Lhotse Base Camp, you must trek for around two weeks. The beautiful trek passes through numerous natural terrains and conservation areas to arrive at the base camp. There are many cultural and religious heritages along the trail.
After arriving at the base camp, you will spend around 28-30 days acclimatizing, training, and finally summiting Lhotse. There are four camps before the summit of Lhotse. Our team, which consists of experienced Sherpa guides, will help you all along the climbing journey.

Best Time for Lhotse Expedition
Spring
The Lhotse expedition is ideal in the spring season lasting from April-May. The moderate temperatures and pleasant climate make the season favorable for climbing. There are fewer chances of any weather-related delays and challenges as it remains stable. The Spring season makes the trails even more lush and beautiful.
Autumn
The Autumn season from September-November is also ideal for Lhotse expeditions. The autumn season has no heavy rainfall, snowfall, or other weather challenges. There are clear skies with favorable conditions like moderate temperatures. Hence, many expeditions take place in Autumn as well.
The difficulty of the Lhotse Expedition
Lhotse is a technical mountain with many challenges. These include extreme temperatures, low oxygen levels, treacherous routes, etc. The Lhotse must cross the Lhotse face passing through the “Reiss couloir,” considered the toughest section.
High-level mountaineering training is necessary before you make your way to the mountain. The climbers must know the use of gear and equipment, including fixed ropes, crampons, ascenders, jumars, ice axes, etc. These factors make the expedition quite tricky.
Since you will spend more than a month in various camps on the mountain, you must consider various aspects. These include acute mountain sickness, frostbite, nutrition, sleep timings, and others. Since altitude sickness is a big challenge, you will need to acclimatize at various camps before arriving at the summit.
Summit fever and exhaustion are other challenging factors in the ascent of Lhotse. The harsh winds in the afternoon can cause various difficulties. Hence, you must climb the summit early in the morning before sunrise. The team members and Sherpa guides will help you on the journey. You should always follow their guidance for a safe and successful Lhotse expedition.

Trip Reviews
November 2022
John BrownUSA
In Team-work There Is Strength
In the year 2022, I wanted a challenging adventure. I have prior experience in high-altitude mountaineering, but this was my first time in Nepal. Scrolling through various web pages, I came across Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions. Oh My Gosh!! They were so good at client service.
Soon they managed the team for the expedition, and I flew to Nepal. Astound by the culture, place, and people, I had a very good time in Kathmandu city before I left for Lukla.
I knew the expedition was going to be harsh. The route to the summit has steep and technical sections, including the prominent Lhotse Couloir, which needs climbers to navigate a narrow gully of ice and snow. Thanks to Sherpa Brother from the agency, they have excellent technical climbing skills. Going hand in hand, Lhotse Expedition was a triumphant story of mine.
Highly Recommended!!
