Imagine learning the climbing/mountaineering skills and techniques from our experienced instructors, and applying what you've learned to climb 6,119 m Lobuje East, one of the most technical mountains of the eighteen trekking peaks in the Majestic Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal - it sure gives load of excitement.

The kingdom of Nepal surrounded by the Himalayan ranges to its North offers a challenging ground for people whose passion is climbing / mountaineering. The Everest region as always is the best arena for executing this program.

Cho La Base camp will host the start of the training program; it is here that you will be trained for a total of four days on the skills of crevasse rescue, glacier travel, ice climbing, snow craft and general mountaineering. After three nights at the base camp, it is time for you to realize your imagination of being on top 6119 m peak. You will now get the long awaited opportunity to put your learned skills to the test. On the 4th day you will venture to the high camp, you will have two days to climb this technical mountain with a route that offers one of the most challenging terrains; the ridges are narrow, the walls are steep, and you will be constantly challenged by crevasses of various sizes and at different locations as per the season. This route is chosen because it is not only challenging for trained novice mountaineers who are with experienced instructors, but it also provides a great introduction to mountaineering. Although the climb itself should not take more than 10 hours from high camp depending on the conditions and the group, the two days takes into account the possi- bility of bad weather or illnesses on the way to the summit. Our goal is to make sure that we facilitate the goal of your trip by being flexible enough in terms of the climbing schedule, as long as the health status of the members in the group is fine.

ACCLIMATIZATION
Remember that you are going to be in the ranges of the highest mountains in the world. Acclimatization is therefore key to surviving and achieving your goal throughout the trip. You should take your time acclimatizing before setting for the trip.

PHYSICAL-CONDITION
We cannot emphasize enough the need for you to be physically and mentally fit before you start our mountaineering program. Be assured that you will need all the physical and mental endurance to battle the exhaustion on your way to the summit. Therefore, we highly encourage that you start building up your physical stamina by indulging yourself in various physical activities, be it running, walking, swimming, or other sports.

FAVORABLE-SEASONS-FOR-CLIMBING
March, April and May, October and November are the five optimum months to summit a peak in Nepal. Out of the five months, October and November are the most popular months since the blue skies and the high snow lines offer the trekkers the right conditions for a great trek.
