Trekking to Everest Base Camp + climbing Lobuche. The best combo to walk the most popular trek in Nepal, see Everest and visit the base camp of climbers to the highest peak in the world.

I have already done this program several times. This time it was part of the acclimatization of the participants of the @extreme_guide Everest-Lhotse expedition and several participants who joined just for the trek.

Our start is a spectacular flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. The legendary runway at Hillary Airport greets us at an altitude of 2800 m, and from the first step in the mountains everything seems different: fresh air, sincere emotions and the expectation of an incredible adventure.

The route going through Namche Bazaar, a famous center of the Khumbu region. Then we move away from the main tourist flow and find ourselves in the cozy villages of Porche and Upper Pangboche. We visited the oldest Buddhist temple in the Khumbu Valley (which is over 600 years old), held the scalp and hand of a “real Yeti”. Mysticism, history, tradition – everything lives here near the mountains.

The camera doesn’t have time to focus: Amadablam, Lhotse, Pumori, Everest – each peak looks like a postcard, but you are standing in front of it in real life. We took hundreds of spectacular photos that will forever be a reminder of our route on the way to Lobuche. Of course, we visited the Everest base camp – the center for all travelers in the region, where every stone breathes the history of great ascents.

But the real highlight is the climb to Lobuche East. Mount Lobuche is the best viewpoint for Everest, Nupze, Amadablam, Pumore and other peaks of the upper Khumbu. It’s not just a view – it’s catharsis.

🔝 Lobuche is a peak ideal for those who dream of making their first ascent. It is technically not difficult, but requires respect for the mountains, discipline and proper acclimatization. And most importantly, our experience proves: even if this is your first summit, you will climb! We will help, support, teach.

This program is not just a checkbox on a list. It is about an internal breakthrough. About the moment when you stand at the top and realize how far you have been able to go not only physically, but also mentally.
