The Lobuche Peak Climbing with Everest Base Camp package is a special adventure where you get to trek to Everest Base Camp and then climb Lobuche Peak, a high mountain in the Himalayas. It’s a great way to see the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, up close. You will also experience the culture of the Sherpa people and enjoy amazing views of the mountains.

The trip lasts for 19 days. During this time, you will trek through beautiful villages, forests, and high-altitude areas. You’ll also have some rest days to help your body adjust to the high altitude.

Yes, the trek is a bit challenging, especially the climb to Lobuche Peak. It’s a high-altitude trek, which means the air gets thinner as you go higher. It requires good fitness, but don’t worry! You’ll have time to rest and adjust to the altitude before reaching the peak. The trek is designed for people who are in good physical health and enjoy hiking.

No, you don’t need previous climbing experience to join this trek. However, it’s important to be in good physical shape and have some hiking experience. You will be trained and guided by experienced mountain guides and climbers who will teach you the basics of climbing, so you’re ready for the summit of Lobuche Peak.

The weather can be cold and unpredictable, especially at higher altitudes. You will experience cold temperatures, especially in the evenings and mornings, with the possibility of snow in the higher areas like Lobuche Peak and Everest Base Camp. The best time to go is during the spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) seasons when the weather is clearer and more stable.

You will need to pack warm clothes for cold weather, a sleeping bag, and good hiking boots. It’s important to bring layers, as the temperature changes throughout the day. Your guide will provide a more detailed packing list before the trip, but be sure to bring things like sunscreen, water bottle, hats, and gloves. Don’t forget your camera to capture the amazing views!

At high altitudes, it’s important to move slowly and allow your body time to adjust. This is called acclimatization. We have built-in rest days during the trek to help your body get used to the thinner air. If you feel dizzy, tired, or unwell, we will help you rest or descend to a lower altitude. Our guides are trained in altitude sickness and will make sure you stay safe.

You will travel by plane from Kathmandu to Lukla, a small mountain airport. After that, you’ll trek on foot through the mountains to places like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, and finally Everest Base Camp and Lobuche Peak. You will also use local tea houses for overnight stays along the way.

During the trek, you will eat at local tea houses along the route. The food is simple but nutritious, and you can enjoy things like dal bhat (a traditional Nepali dish with rice and lentils), noodles, and vegetable dishes. If you have any food allergies or special dietary needs, just let us know in advance, and we will make arrangements for you.

If you’re unable to reach the summit of Lobuche Peak for any reason, there’s no need to worry. Your safety is the most important thing, and our guides are experienced in making sure everyone is safe. You can always turn back to a lower altitude or rest, and we will make sure you’re comfortable. Everyone’s health and safety come first, and there will always be options for you to continue enjoying the trek at a pace that works for you.

You made my dream come true: EBC and 3 Passes

After summiting Kilimanjaro, I was looking for my next adventure. Thank you Adventure White Himalaya Treks, owner Ganesh and Guide, Keshab for a dream and bucket list item come true. From the communication prior to the Trek back in South Africa, to fetching me at the airport and transporting me to a great hotel . Superb and persistent service……and then of to Lukla Airport for the start of a 2 week journey. I did the Everest Base Camp and the 3 Passes.
I am typing this review on my Hotelbed back in Kathmandu with a huge smile and great satisfaction. A dream come true.
The whole journey was well planned and executed to perfection. This team is super professional.
Ganesh for leading this company and Keshab, my guide, was absolutely finominal.
I could not have asked for a better Team than Adventure White Himalaya Treks.
I give them a 10 out of 10 and would recommend them to any one or group interested trekking in the Himalayas to make your dream come true.

Dherei Dherei Dhanya Bhat to the team of Adventure White Himalaya Treks in Katmandu.

Now I can fly back home with an unforgettable experience.

Annapurna circuit trek with Adventure White Himalaya Treks: Greatest Experience

Adventure White Himalaya Trek in one word is superb ! Upfront communication with Ganesh was very efficient and the trek went very well. Mr Ganesh receive me at the airport took me safe at the hotel at midnight. The day next we started the trek, our guide Bhoj Raj was a star. He was trustworthy, reliable and always smiling with a great sense of humors.
They all were excellent and was perfect in organizing any sort of tour in a perfect way. I can wholeheartedly recommend them, the Adventure White Himalaya Treks. Thank you !

Amazing life experience!

Trekking for 4 days in a rhododendron forest, waking up to fresh snow and the sunrise at Poon Hill, amazing adventure!!!! I will go back, I will most definitely contact Ganesh to schedule another adventure in the Nepal. He is a hard worker with great knowledge of the area.

Excellent Service

We dealt with Ganesh before the trip and are very happy with the service provided. Everything was as promised.

Our guide, Hari, did an excellent job in planning our whole journey and improvising wherever he saw fit. He also was very in tuned with our fitness level and we didn’t feel that we were pushed beyond our capabilities.

Our porter, Gopi, was also very helpful especially in keeping our spirits up during the whole journey.

All in all I would highly recommend Adventure White Himalaya Treks Pvt Ltd to anyone who is going trekking in Nepal.
