Embark on the ultimate high-altitude adventure combining the classic trek to Everest Base Camp (EBC) with the thrill of summiting Lobuche Peak (6,119m). This 17-day expedition takes you deep into the Khumbu region, offering a blend of Sherpa culture, challenging terrain, and unparalleled Himalayan views.
Beginning with a scenic flight to Lukla, the trail winds through Phakding and the vibrant Namche Bazaar.

The trek culminates in a visit to Everest Base Camp (5,365m) and a sunrise hike to Kala Patthar for 360-degree views of Mt. Everest. The highlight of the trip is the climb to Lobuche Peak. After pre-climb training at High Camp, you will push for the summit to witness magnificent views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam before retracing your steps to Lukla.

For the climb, we usually will be climbing on rock surface for up to around 5770m. After that, we climb on ice and use ropes when necessary. However, the use of the rope and the length depends upon the season and the crevasses. Fixed rope is used most of the times whereas man rope is used when required.

Pre-Climb Training: Our guides will provide training on peak climbing techniques and the proper ways of using climbing gears such as the ice axe, climbing boots and crampons, harness, ascender, etc. The training will also include using ropes to go up and down.
