Posted on by Danphe Adventure

Although a challenging climb, Lobuche Peak Climbing is favored as a favorite climbing venture by most climbers. Beginning the trip with endearing treks through Sherpa villages and Sagarmatha National Park, the journey culminates at the summit of the Lobuche Peak (6119m). The summit has a panoramic view of Everest (8,848 m), Lhotse (8,414 m), Ama Dablam (6,856 m), Nuptse (7,861 m), Cholatse (6,335 m), and Pumo Ri (7,165 m). The trek prior to the climb also takes you along the classic Everest Base Camp Trek revealing a number of cultural attractions as well.

This 20-day climbing journey begins at Kathmandu. In Kathmandu, you will visit some UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and prepare for the trek. You will take a flight to Tenzing-Hilary Airstrip in Lukla and begin trekking.  The trek passes through popular Sherpa villages namely Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, and Gorakshep en route to Everest Base Camp. Walk along with other climbers and trekkers, and locals, and yaks on the trek. A short hike from Gorakshep will take you to Kalapatthar that offers the up-close sight of the Everest summit.

Afterward, you’ll descend back to Lobuche village and take a detour east of the village to arrive at Lobuche High Camp (5,400m) located at the southwest ridge of the peak. The final climb accounts for a sharp ascent with an exposed ridge that poses difficulty. You will use fixed rope and climb up with the help of ice-axe and crampons. Once at the summit, you’ll be welcomed with the beautiful sight of the Everest Mountain Range. Afterward, you’ll descend to Pangboche village and trek back to Lukla via Namche.

Chola Pass Trek

Posted on by Danphe Adventure

The Chola Pass Trek is regarded as those once in a lifetime treks that solely focuses on providing the travelers a joyful experience through the mesmerizing display of the major 8000 meter plus mountains. Accompanying the staggering mountains is a primitive lifestyle relying very little on the modern amenities. Find what it means to traverse the snowy landscape, find willpower in front of uphill tracks, but most importantly find adventure and inner peace in the silence of the Himalayas in the Chola Pass Trek.

With a brief insight of the UNESCO world heritage site of the Kathmandu valley, we commence our trek. A quick flight takes us to Lukla and gradually move us to Phakding. Then, we enter the biggest Sherpa settlement in this region, Namche Bazaar. After acclimatizing, we head to Tengboche and en route, we visit the Tengboche monastery too. Crossing lush forest takes us to Dingboche and after a gruesome battle with snow and ice, we arrive at Lobuche. Then we head to the Everest base camp via Gorakshep. The delightful view of the horizon and the snowy mountains will invigorate you. You then hike to Kalapatthar, revered by many as the best vantage point to observe the panorama of the mountains like the Mt. Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8414m), Cho Oyu (8188m), and Ama Dablam (6856m). We head to Dzongla and later get on a trail that leads to Gokyo.

However, we must cross the Chola Pass at 5420 meters en route, which is not just physically demanding but soul-pleasing upon reaching the top. The Everest Himalayas glisten as you relish the views from the top of the pass. Gokyo village and the delightful lakes are next on the trek. The descending trail leads us to Dhole and as we cross Phortse Tenga, we once again arrive at Namche Bazaar. Similarly, walking amidst the banks of the Dudh Koshi, we reach Lukla, and from there, we get on a flight to Kathmandu where the trip ends.
