Khumbu himal

Loubuche Peak, which again is in Khumbu Himal of the Sagarmatha region, actually includes two distinct summits, Lobuche east (6119 m) and Lo

buche west (6145 m). Though they are connected by a continuous ridge, they are at some distance from each other. Usually, it is Lobuche east that is the goal of most climbers. The odyssey begins with a flight to Lukla from where the trek goes through Phakding, Namche Bazaar (3441 m; where you acclimatize for one day), Tengboche, Pheriche, Dingboche (where you acclimatize for another day), Lubuje, and then Everest Base Camp (5364 m) and Gorakh Shep (5180 m), and then on to Kala Patthar and back to Dingboche, then to High Camp (5400 m; one day for more acclimatization). The next day you summit the peak. Hurrah! expedition

Pisang Peak (6091 m) is in Manang District of Gandaki Zone in western Nepal. Your adventure begins with a five-hour drive down to Besi Sahar, from where the trek begins. The route goes like this: Tal (1700 m, 6 h), Bagarchhap (2160 m, 5 h), Chame (2670 m, 6 h), Piang (3200 m, 6 h), Pisang Base Camp (4200 m), High Camp (5300 m; acclimatization for one day), then yes, climb to the top of Pisang Peak. After achieving this feat, trekkers generally go on to Pokhara via Manang, Yak Kharka, Thorang Phei, Muktinath (famous religious site), Marpha (famous for apple pies and apple brandy), Tatopani (hot springs), Shikha, Ghorepani, Poon Hill (famous for sunrise over Himalayan peaks), Ghandrung, Nayaypul, and then Pokhara, the ‘Lake City’. Naturally, this all round trip will take considerable time, almost a month, but it’s really a terrific way to see a lot of Nepal.
Whatever peak you choose to climb, you will be achieving a Himalayan victory, so go ahead and pick up the gauntlet. Challenge yourself to be a Himalayan conqueror!
