The Ascensions du Lobuche is (6,119m) classified as the difficult peak, but that does not stop climbers from climbing it. It is located near Khumbu Glacier. The first time on April 25, 1984 by Laurence Nielson and Sherpa Ang Gyalzen were climbing Lobuche East. The South-East ridge is the normal climbing route for climbing East Lobuche.

This route consists of a mix of rock, snow and ice climbing. A nice ridge, not too difficult. Lobuche is a more technical peak than other peaks and it is challenging for climbing. We climb the 45 degree snow slopes. Most section on the lobuche has fixed rope. From the top, you can see the great view of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and Pumori.

From Lukla, we start the trek towards Namche Bazar, Gokyo, Cho La at 5420 and Kala Pathar. This route we discover Sherpa countries, their cultures, Mani walls, prayer flags, Yaks, turquoise lakes. This route combined the Everest Base Camp Trek too.
