Everest Base Camp with Lobuche Peak - Climb higher, trek deeper — experience the world’s greatest mountain trail and summit adventure with Kami Rita Sherpa’s expert team.

The Everest Base Camp with Lobuche Peak Climb (18 Days) brings together two of Nepal’s most iconic Himalayan experiences — the legendary Everest Base Camp trek and the rewarding semi-technical ascent of Lobuche East Peak (6,119 m). Beginning with a scenic mountain flight to Lukla, the journey follows the beautiful Dudh Koshi Valley, weaving through rhododendron forests, suspension bridges draped with prayer flags, and traditional Sherpa settlements rich in Buddhist culture. Along the trail, trekkers pass famous stops such as Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, and Dingboche, gaining altitude and cultural insight at every step before entering the icy amphitheater of the Khumbu Glacier.


After reaching both Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) and the viewpoint of Kala Patthar (5,545 m) where the full face of Mount Everest dominates the skyline, the route turns toward Lobuche High Camp. Here, under the close guidance of Kami Rita Sherpa’s certified climbing leaders, you’ll receive hands-on instruction in glacier travel, rope techniques, and the use of climbing gear in preparation for the summit push.


The final ascent rewards climbers with sweeping, unobstructed views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Ama Dablam, and Cho Oyu, a breathtaking panorama that defines the essence of the Himalayas. With a well-paced itinerary that prioritizes acclimatization, safety, and comfort, this journey blends adventure and culture seamlessly, offering not just the thrill of standing atop a 6,000-meter peak, but also a profound connection with Nepal’s mountain spirit and the legendary legacy of the Sherpa people.
