After spending a good day rest at Namche Bazaar, we will follow the trail that descends passing through the village of Trashinga. From there we will make a long climb to reach Tyangboche. The first part of the climb is very steep, however, the climb eases as we trek through the densely forested area until we arrive at the stone gate built by lamas which mark our entry into Tyangboche.

Since it is a short day of trekking we will have enough time to rest, much needed for further climb to higher altitudes and for the main summit climb of Lobuche Peak.
3-4 hrs Climb Tented Camp
Leaving the base camp we will follow a narrow trail that is often snow-covered and icy. We may have to make use of ropes and crampons during our climbing trek today. Our ascend journey can be very tiring, so resting every now and then helps in restoring energy. We will reach a good campsite at 5400 meters, our Sherpa crew will quickly set up the camp and make final checks on our climbing gears and our health conditions before the main summit climb of Lobuche Peak, the following day.
8-9 hrs Climb Tented Camp
Today is the day we all have been desperately waiting for. Fully acclimatized and properly equipped with all the climbing gears, we start early with the aim to reach the summit before noon as the strong winds after midday can create obstacles in reaching the summit. Following the footsteps and instructions of our experienced climbing experts, we will climb up the south ridge overcoming several technical sections and head towards the summit. Our tiring climb to the summit is rewarded with magnificent views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Nuptse, Pumori, Ama Dablam and other surrounding high peaks. We will spend short quality time at the summit before descending down following the same route and head back to reach the base camp.

According to rules and regulations of Airlines, the flight has to be on high Himalayan range due to which small aircraft( beach aircraft) can only fly which carries only 15 each kilo of weight along with 15-16 people.
If you want to carry more, you would have to take them through cargo which costs you USD $2 per kilo.
As you go to the higher altitudes, there will be fewer places to buy your items and the price will be expensive. It all depends upon your expenses but it's better to carry around USD $250-$300 which will cover all the expenses throughout the trip.

The whole idea of reaching Everest Base Camp and summiting Lobuche Peak is what attracted us. We booked the trip right away with a total of 2 people in our group. Trekking along the high mountain valleys with views of the world’s towering mountains was a great feeling.
Our climbing expert guide was Ang-Dawa Sherpa, a wise and caring person with good technical climbing experience. Following his footsteps, we reached Lobuche Peak summit. The tiring climb was worth. We had great views of the world’s towering mountains including Everest.
Many thanks to NGT team for a memorable trip !!!
