Amazing experience
I had an amazing experience with Nepal Social Trek! Starting with clear communication and well-organized trip planning followed by a warm welcome, we were impressed by the great hospitality we received from everyone. The trip was a real adventure, full of happy emotions and beautiful moments shared together. Our guides, Narayan and Govinda, were extremely skilled and knowledgeable. They were not only excellent guides but also beautiful people from a human point of view. After the trek, Nepal Social Trek also arranged a guided tour of the city of Bhaktapur and its temples for us. I absolutely recommend Nepal Social Trek!

Good experience in Nepal
I did the Chisapani Nagarkot trekk. My guide Kamal was very considerate, landscapes were nice and the hotels and food were good. We also visited Bhaktapur which is nice. I recommend visting Nepal and the Nepal social company.

Langtang Valley Trek
What an epic trip! Nepal Social Treks were brilliant. Seamless organisation from start to finish. They were always friendly and responsive with communication before I came out, were helpful when it came to hiccups with my baggage. And were flexible with my tour, switching from the Tamang to the Langtang trek with no complaints. My guide - Kamal, and porter - Santa, were both excellent. Kamal was super knowledgable, trustworthy, and great company. Santa’s a legend! The accommodation & food were great. The daily trekking: incredible and just the right level of challenging. I could not recommend this trek enough if you’re after something shorter.





Nepal Social Treks were an amazing company who helped me make memories for my life on a climbing attempt of Island Peak December 2023. Even though it was in the off-season and in December, they ensured I had everything necessary to achieve my goal and enjoy my winter trek. They were also very helpful after the trek and I enjoyed my conversations in their Kathmandu office. I'd recommend my friends to go climbing with them any day.

A trip organized by Simina Cernat our guide from România with a very good collaboration with Nepal Social Trecks. This was an experience of a lifetime rafting mountains nature people… We are grateful we had Lakpa to guide us throughout the trecking. Lakpa carefully addressed all our questions and help us understand Nepali culture he was the best guide friendly, kind, patient and felt very taken care of during our 9days trek on the Annapurna Circuit. At 5000m i had a difficult moment, could hardly walk but Lakpa immediately observed that and he helped me succesfully reach to Thorong La pass. 5416m. Also the two porters Nima and Manut were very nice and helpful. The trip itself was well thought through for our needs and expectations. Thank you Lakpa and high-level
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the best time to take on Lobuche East Peak Climbing Expedition?
The best time to carry out this Lobuche East Peak Climbing Expedition is between April and May in Spring and September, October, and November in the Autumn. The Southeast ridge is the best route for you to climb this striking mountain.
What is Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)? How can it be treated?
Acute mountain sickness is a critical health effect of high altitude prompted by your body’s reaction to a shortage of oxygen. The volume of oxygen available at sea level is twice that contained at 5000m above the sea level. Your body requires enough time to regulate your breathing to a higher altitude. You usually encounter the effect of the high altitude above 2800 meters.
To prevent AMS, you need to acclimate your body when trekking to higher altitudes. Moreover, you should intake enough fluids and take rest immediately when you feel tired and dizzy while walking.
What are the symptoms of AMS?
The primary symptoms of AMS include headache, nausea, loss of appetite, cough, and fatigue. If you feel any of these symptoms, halt the ascent for the day and rest. If your health is getting more serious even while resting, return to a lower altitude. You should take proper rest until you feel okay. You can always abandon your expedition if you are feeling unwell to complete it. Let your guides know if you are having issues during the expedition and act on their advice.
Am I likely to get altitude sickness on this expedition?
As the elevation on this expedition exceeds 6000m, the possibilities of getting altitude sickness are generally high. You will have less contact with oxygen as you summit the top of Lobuche East Peak. However, we have designed the itinerary in a way that you get a proper time to acclimatize. Our guides have years of experience handling this kind of situation as they are trained well in using first-aid kits.
Plus, our guides will carry emergency oxygen with a regulator and mask while climbing to receive immediate help when you need it. In case your situation worsens, we will carry out the emergency rescue evacuation as per the company’s rule.
Who will be my guide?
At Nepal Social Treks, we offer you some of the experienced local guides. Our expert guides have been to the relevant trekking and climbing areas many times. All the guides are docile, experienced, and authorized by the Government of Nepal.
Our guides are mountaineering professionals with extensive knowledge of the Himalayas with over 5 years of experience with at least 3 summits of Mount Everest. They are trained and assessed by the International Federation of Mountain Guides Association (IFMGA) or Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) with many years of mountaineering experience.
How much extra amount should I have to carry for Lobuche East Peak Climbing?
As you traverse through higher altitudes, there will be very few places to buy any kinds of items, and the price itself will be very high. The money you carry usually depends upon your expenses. However, it is reasonable if you carry USD 250-USD 300, which will cover all the costs throughout the trip.
What happens if there is an emergency?
If you get caught up in an emergency, our climbing guide will help you with safety care, medical treatment, and communication services. Communication is made possible through satellite phones, so a guide will help you if something critical happens. If you are not well to continue your summit, a helicopter will come to your rescue.
What is the provision for security during trekking?
Well, you should know that the security of our clients is paramount for us. We have a carefully chosen team of guides and support holding licenses issued by the Government of Nepal. They are honest and reliable to have on your journey.
However, we advise you to take care of your personal belongings. When you are camping, don’t leave your bags unattended at any time for your safety. Place your bags and belongings inside the tent once you reach the campsite. When you are sleeping in a local tea house, keep your room locked when you head out.
What about drinking water during the Lobuche East Peak Climbing adventure?
Your health and well-being are our foremost priority, so only safe water is provided for drinking throughout the journey. You can purchase bottled water from the hotels and lodges where we stay. Nevertheless, it is no harm in carrying the water purifier with you for proper purification. Other than that, you can pack some water-purifying tablets from Kathmandu for the road.
What kinds of insurance do I need for carrying out this Lobuche East Peak Climbing adventure?
We recommend you get full insurance before taking on this campaign. The insurances that you need to have includes travel, medical, and emergency evacuation. This move proves crucial in case of any unfortunate event. Choose your insurance package wisely, and if you have any trouble, we can guide you through it.
What is the overnight accommodation like?
While you stay in Kathmandu, your accommodation will be in 3-star hotels packed with all the major facilities. On the other hand, when you are trekking, the accommodation will depend on the trek style. If you are camping, you will be sleeping in tents.
Besides, when you are on the go, there are plenty of tea houses, particularly in the smaller villages, to provide you comfortable accommodation. Although simple, the teahouses, commonly run by friendly local families, provide shelter and warmth.
Do I need to tip the climbing guide and porter during this expedition?
Usually, climbing guides and porters expect some tips after the successful summit of the peak. You can tip them according to the satisfaction of your entire trip. The guides typically get USD 300-500 while the porters get USD 150.
