What size bag do I require during Lobuche Peak Climbing?

Your layers of clothing for fluctuating temperatures during the day should fit in a medium-sized rucksack (2500–3500 cubic inches, or 40–55 liters). Although they nearly always depart earlier in the morning than you do, the porters and yaks who will transport your bulky duffel bags do not necessarily travel more quickly than you do. The majority of the things you bring every day are things you don't need to hike in, not things you need to be active with. For instance, the jacket and cap you put on in the morning before the sun comes out, the camera and notebook you use to take notes while taking breaks. Don't take the advice to pack lighter so you can carry less. The weight is well distributed, and it is much simpler to pack in slightly larger packs (particularly with chilly fingers!).

What level of mountaineering expertise is required to summit Lobuche Peak?

An alpine climb of intermediate difficulty is Lobuche Peak. You ought to have some prior knowledge of self-arrests, crampon use, and ice ax walking. Your team will need to move quickly on set lines and in teams across limited ridges on summit day, which will necessitate an early-morning "alpine start." The ascent is breathtaking! The necessary skills will be reviewed by your guides, but it is imperative that you are comfortable using your climbing gear (harness, crampons, and ice ax) before the trip.

What about acclimation to high altitudes?

You'll see on the schedule that it takes us 11 days to trek from Lukla, located at 9,200 feet (2,804 meters), to base camp, located at 17,500 feet (5,333 meters). We take rest days in Namche and Pheriche to help our bodies adjust to the greater altitude. This routine, along with a diligent mindset and paying attention to our bodies and to one another, has consistently produced positive results.

Can we take showers while on the hike? What cleaning methods do we use?

All across the Khumbu, there are hot showers with gravity-fed water that has been heated on gas stoves. You will find solar-heated showers in your private rooms in the lodges in the lower settlements, including Namche. Washing facilities get simpler as you go higher, but they're always there. Because it is freezing outside at the highest altitudes, fewer people utilize the showers. Each client also receives a small basin of warm washing water every day from our Sherpa crew. Before every meal, warm water for hand washing and soap are also available (and you must use them!).

Will I have access to my email during hiking? What about my mobile device?

The internet is frequently available in Khumbu, but it is not available everywhere and is not totally reliable. Throughout your trek, you can anticipate having access to the internet every couple of days. However, there won't be any internet access at Lobuche Base Camp or higher up the mountain. As you approach Lobuche, be aware that internet speeds can fluctuate and can be costly. In the Khumbu Valley, there is now a sizable amount of cell phone coverage. Even though there will be dead spots, you will typically have adequate cell coverage. Call your service provider to inquire about international rate options if you intend to use your cell phone outside of the country.

How long does the ascent to Lobuche Peak take?

When days in Kathmandu are added, the Island Peak trip lasts a minimum of 17 days and includes 16 days of trekking and climbing. We do advise giving yourself extra time to account for possible flight delays entering and leaving the highlands.

Can I climb Lobuche Peak without a guide?

Hiring a guide is an essential component of climbing any mountain because it allows you to acquire new abilities or explore a new region, whether you're hiking, biking, skiing, or climbing. Because climbing is somewhat technical, we highly recommend hiring a guide to teach you the ropes. Technically and legally, it is nearly impossible to climb Lobuche Peak without a guide if you are a novice mountaineer. The ascent can be exciting because the equipment and trails will be completely new. But for a skilled mountain climber, the climb should be straightforward. It will be difficult for both of them to reach the sledding slope.

Client Reviews

Lobuche Peak with EBC Trek

Johnes We, United Kingdom

My second trip with Footprint Adventure went off without a hitch, and I couldn't be happier. They offer expert assistance with a friendly smile. It's comforting to know that even if plans change unexpectedly while hiking or climbing in the mountains, Sharan and his crew have the resources to quickly adapt and make new arrangements. Absolutely recommend Footprint Team; thanks to Sharan, Madhav, the rest of the Footprint staff, Tenji, the porters, and everyone else at base camp for a wonderful hike, a safe and successful summit, and a wonderful time overall. A return trip to Nepal is in order, and I look forward to hosting you.

Lifetime Experience with Footprint Team

Charles DW, United States

These guys are really amazing. They would also receive a sixth star if one existed. From the booking of Q&As to the event itself, these guys were always on target. Sharan and his operation team were always there for help. We were fortunate to have Prakash as our tour guide in Kathmandu, who was fantastic, attentive, empathetic, and incredibly competent. Climbing Lobuche was my first Himalayan peak, and it was made even more delightful because we did it with the Footprint guys. We intend to return next year for another adventure in Annapurna region.
