Lobuche East and Kyajo Ri Peak Expedition-28 Days

Trip Introduction

The Lobuche and Kyajo Ri Peak Expedition has been designed for the adventurers who are energetic and physically fit and are in quest for a challenging and off the beaten path trekking & climbing experience. Besides summiting Lobuche and Kyajo Ri, the itinerary also covers a trek to the base camp of world's highest mountain - Mt. Everest. Trekking through the Everest region also offers astounding mountain views including an opportunity to take a glimpse into the life of world famous climbers, the Sherpas, and a chance to survey around a world heritage site of Sagarmatha National Park that hosts a variety of Himalayan floras and faunas. Mt. Lobuche (6119m/20,070 ft) climb is certainly a bit more challenging than other popular climbs such as, the Island Peak. Kyajo Ri at 6,186 m/20,290 ft is even more technical than Lobuche. 
The Everest region not only boast of four of the world's six tallest peaks Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu, but the region is also blessed with numerous lesser mountain peaks, including the Kyajo Ri and Lobuche. First, we get to the base camp of the world's highest mountain, Mt. Everest which would also help us in acclimatization for our next two endeavors - Lobuche and Kyajo Ri.
Our other peak climbing itineraries are: Island Peak Climbing - 14 days, Mera Peak Climbing-22 days, Mera Peak Climbing-19 days, Island peak climbing with Gokyo and Everest base camp trek-22 days, Island peak climbing with Everest Base Camp Trek-19 days.
