Lobuche East Peak Climbing

Overview

Lobuche East Peak lies in the Mahalangur Himalayan Ranges, close to the Khumbu Glacier. There are two main peaks: Lobuche East (6119 m) and Lobuche West (6145 m). Lobuche East Peak Climbing is one of the challenging peaks climbing which is quite conspicuous, with descend into a discernible notch and ascend to the icy slopes in the top.
