DAY 4

DAY 9

Lobuje (4930 m)

Today, trek to Lobuje, enjoy the great views of Nuptse peak. We will keep moving at a slow & steady pace on gaining altitude. As we move above the tree line, the slopes become quite desolate. Views of various peaks, including Cholatse and Lobuche, unfold in front of us in this contrasting and spectacular landscape. We climb the Dhugla Ridge and onto the moraine in the direction of the Khumbu Glacier. Many rock cairns can be seen, many of which are dedicated to the memory of climbers who attempted the area's high mountains, including Everest. Temperatures drop as we become more exposed among the glacial moraine. Today has been filled with breathtaking views of Pumori and Nuptse. The hill above the town provides excellent sunset views of Nuptse. Overnight stay in an eco-lodge.
