EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK
&LOBUCHE EAST Climb
EVEREST BASE CAMP TRIP WITH
TWO NIGHTS STAY & LOBUCHE EAST SUMMIT
Stay longer, acclimatise better, and climb higher. With two nights at Everest Base Camp, you’ll gain the ultimate preparation for your Lobuche East summit bid — an exclusive adventure that blends iconic trekking with a world-class mountaineering experience.
A Trek with a Summit Bonus
Everest One invites you to experience the very best of the Khumbu Valley with a rare combination: a full Everest Base Camp trek plus the chance to climb the stunning 6,119m Lobuche East. This adventure is perfect for trekkers ready to take the next step, whether aiming for their first Himalayan summit or preparing for future 8,000m expeditions.
Why Lobuche East?
Lobuche East is regarded as one of the most rewarding trekking peaks in Nepal. While no previous climbing experience is essential, the mountain requires solid fitness, comfort in alpine conditions, a flexible mindset, and a strong sense of adventure. For many climbers, Lobuche East is an important stepping stone toward bigger Himalayan goals.
With Everest One, you are guided by expert high-altitude Sherpa climbers, supported with a 1:2 guide-to-client ratio, and offered training both before and during the expedition to give you the best chance of success.
The Everest Base Camp Experience
Unlike most trekkers who stop at the prayer flags, Everest One takes you past the crowds and into the heart of Everest Base Camp itself. For two nights you will sleep on the Khumbu Glacier, dine in our heated dining tent, and enjoy freshly prepared meals from our commercial kitchen. You will have the chance to explore the lower Khumbu Icefall, visit the Everest ER rescue tent, and share stories with climbers preparing for their summit bids.
By night, the starlit skies and the deep roar of the icefall create an atmosphere few places on earth can match. This exclusive stay not only delivers an unforgettable experience but also provides ideal acclimatisation before your Lobuche East climb.
Trekking Through the Khumbu Valley
The journey begins in Lukla (2,840m), following the Dudh Kosi River through vibrant farming villages. The trail climbs to Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital, before continuing through Phortse, home of the Khumbu Climbing School, and Pangboche, the highest permanent Sherpa settlement.
From lush alpine valleys to high-altitude landscapes, the trek offers constant variety. Along the way, you will witness panoramic views of Everest (8,848m), Lhotse (8,501m), Cho Oyu (8,201m), Makalu (8,463m), Shishapangma (8,013m), and other Himalayan giants.
The trek is also a cultural journey, offering deep insights into Sherpa life, Buddhist traditions, and the warm hospitality of one of the world’s most iconic mountain communities.
Preparing for the Summit
After visiting Everest Base Camp, we detour slightly off the main trail and establish our base camp beneath Lobuche East. Over four days, including a contingency day, you will refine climbing skills, prepare equipment, and acclimatise for the summit push.
On summit day, the reward is extraordinary: breathtaking views stretching across the Khumbu, with Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, Ama Dablam, Makalu, and Baruntse dominating the skyline.
A Fitting Conclusion
Descending through Tengboche, you will have the chance to visit the famous monastery before returning to Lukla to celebrate your climb with your Sherpa team.
