Lobuche East Peak, standing at 6,119 meters (20,075 feet), is a prominent trekking peak in the Everest region of Nepal. It offers climbers a challenging yet rewarding ascent with breathtaking views of the Himalayan giants, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. Combining the Lobuche East Peak climb with the classic Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek provides an ultimate adventure, blending high-altitude mountaineering with the cultural and scenic splendor of the Khumbu region

Lobuche East Peak is located near the Khumbu Glacier in the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The peak has two main summits: Lobuche East and Lobuche West, with Lobuche East being the more commonly climbed of the two due to its accessibility.

The peak is a part of the Everest massif and offers an excellent vantage point to view the surrounding peaks. The first recorded ascent of Lobuche East was made by Laurence Nielson and Sherpa Ang Gyalzen on April 25, 1984.
