Lobuche East & Island Peak Climbing 2025/2026

Trip Overview

Lobuche East and Island Peak Climbing is one of the most popular 6,000 m peaks ideal for aspirant mountaineers. The first ascent to this wonderful peak was made by Laurence Nielson and Ang Gyalzen Sherpa on the 25^th of April, 1984. Since then, it has been a top choice for climbers aiming for 8000m as it allows an adequate opportunity for acclimatization while also offering enough practice with gears and equipment in the ice, snow, and rocks. Besides, keen adventure seekers choose this peak to fulfill their dreams of mountaineering with adventure.
