The answers to your questions regarding the Nepal New Generation Trek, what this trip entails, and what is needed can be found in the following frequently asked questions. If your question isn't addressed there, don't hesitate to contact us.

Everything has its own time and time is the most important part of life. The same is here in Lobuche Peak Climbing, this peak expedition has its own best times. You cannot get ready for the climb anytime you like. There are two favorable times in a year for climbing the Lobuche East; March to May(Spring) and September to November(Autumn). These suggested seasons provide the perfect conditions to do a trek and climb. Both of the seasons are completely rain-free and possess stable weather and warm temperatures. During Autumn and Spring, there are lower chances of the climb postponing. You get to enjoy the whole of the expedition thoroughly if it is done in either Spring or Autumn. Skies are mostly clear and on the bright days, you can watch every step cautiously. There is another perk; you will enjoy the broad panorama of Everest region mountains. You can capture several high peaks in one glance as there will be no clouds hindering the view. Lobuche Peak climb is mostly a hassle-free experience if it is done in the Autumn and Spring.

Lobuche East Peak is listed as one of the trekking peaks among 33 designated peaks in Nepal. Although it has some even 45 to 50 degrees angled inclination route to the summit, this peak is less technical and has a high success rate of 8 out of 10 climbers. The walk to high camp begins from Lobuche base camp which is about 5050 meters then it steeply climbs up on the hill and eventually through a rocky trail to high camp at 5600m. Then the trail scrambles on rock slabs for a while and continues on rocky steep trails until crampon points. After putting on crampons, climbing goes on through the ice and taking some fixed rope in between to the summit where your skill on using an ascender, ice ax, crampons, and rope handling come in handy. So overall, it is not that technical but does ask for a good amount of physical fitness and endurance.

The cost of the climbing permit for Lobuche Peak (east) differs according to the season during the spring season which is from “March to May”, it costs USD 250 per head whereas during the autumn season which is “From September to November” and it only costs half which is USD 125 per head. Moreover, during the summer season, it only costs USD 70 per head for a climbing permit. Likewise, you also have to deposit USD 500 for the Garbage deposit which is refundable after your climbing is done.
