Laurence Nielson and Ang Gyalzen Sherpa made the first recorded ascent to Lobouche East on 25 April 1984. The mountain consists of two summits, East and West with heights of 6,119 m and 6,145 m respectively. A continuous ridge connects them but there is still a sharp gap and a considerable distance between them.  The East Peak is recognized as a trekking peak, whereas the West is known as an Expedition Peak. The East face rises over the moraine of the Khumbu Glacier to a spectacular skyline, forming the south ridge.  The Southeast ridge route starts from the glacier and we are soon on 60-degree alpine ice. As we surmount the summit ridge, we are rewarded with increasingly stunning views of Everest and Lohtse to the east The final stretch of climbing involves traversing a 30° ridge to the summit plateau where we are met with a 360° panorama of the Himalayas with five of the fourteen 8000 m peaks in the world visible in the distance.

Our highly trained, skilled and experienced trekking guide will lead you throughout the trekking period. We will spend ample time acclimatizing to new altitudes for increased safety and comfort. High Altitude Dreams is proud of our experienced guides, cooks, porters and kitchen staff.
