Lobuche Peak Climbing Difficulty Level

Basically, from Lobuche village to the summit, the trail is extremely steep and rocky. As a result, the ascent to Lobuche Base Camp is strenuous. Climbing Lobuche East Peak typically involves 5-6 hours of walking per day. On the summit day, you must trek for 8-10 hours.

It is difficult to climb the steep stone terraces and snowy slopes above the base camp. You’ll need to learn how to use ropes for this climb. Beyond the slick iced or snowed stones, High Camp (5,600 m) awaits you. The stone slabs are far too steep and dangerous.

Climbing a 45-degree snow wall before reaching the summit ridge is difficult. Fixed lines are used. A 50-meter ascent through the wall entails a significant amount of risk. The Island Peak and Lobuche Peak are very popular in this area.

Flight Information to /from Lukla

Flight Information to /from Lukla: Due to the Kathmandu airport overcrowding, Flights to Lukla (Everest Region) depart from Ramechhap Airport for the busiest season. The distance from Kathmandu to Mathali airport is about 130 kilometers. So it takes about 3.5 to 4 hours to drive. We leave Kathmandu at 1 or 1.30 AM to catch our early morning flights from Ramechhap to Lukla.

Note: The flight will be departing from March 15 to May 15 and October to November. However, it depends on the decision of the airlines and the civil aviation authority of Nepal.

Lukla flight delays or cancellations

The bad weather conditions and over traffic in Kathmandu airports are the main reasons for delaying and canceling flights. The weather in hilly and Himalayan regions will be changed so quickly. So, We at Himalaya Darshan Treks highly recommend managing a minimum of 1 or 2 extra days for your Everest and Dolpo region treks.

What is the Lukla Flight Weight limitation?

The airlines have a weight limitation of only 15 kilograms (about 33 pounds) per person so please try to make your luggage less than 15 kilograms. Otherwise, you have to pay extra money but it is only possible if there is no overweight on the plane. So, the best option is to make your bag light.
