You will have a pre-climbing orientation. You will talk about all the climbing techniques and use of climbing equipment. Later, spend the day at leisure and acclimatize.

Start the adventure really early almost right after midnight. As you have to be at the summit before noon, you need to start early. High mountains are extremely windy thus dangerous in the afternoon. So you try to be on the summit as early as possible in the calm morning. The first section of our walk towards the Lobuche peak summit goes on the rocky surface and the second section is tricky icy one. The second surface climb needs the help of climbing rope which will be fixed by our climbing guide.

After a strenuous effort you reach the summit. Enjoy some quality time at the summit and take pictures. You can enjoy the panoramic view of Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, Pumori, Lhotse, Nuptse and many other Himalayan peaks from the top. Later, descend to Pheriche to stay overnight.

We trek back to Namche Bazar today.

We are on the final day of the trek and we trek back to Lukla.
