Lhotse Expedition

Mt. Lhotse is a wide-faced giant 8516m high located towards the South of the world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest. Situated at the border of Tibet and Nepal, its name means “the South Peak” in the Tibetan language. Regardless of its proximity and convergence with Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse stands proud with its own identity as the fourth highest mountain after Everest, K2, and Kanchenjunga. The broad face giant peak has two more sub-peaks under it, namely Lhotse Shar (8383 m) and Lhotse East (8414 m). These peaks place an opportunity to test your endurance and mountaineering skills with the bonus of adventure and thrill.

Climbing Lhotse requires a great level of physical fitness and mountaineering skills along with an experience of climbing a 7000 m peak.  The Western Flank also called the Lhotse Face is wide and broad, rising at 40 to 50-degree pitches making it challenging for climbers. In addition, the climbers must climb through the 1,125m high wall of blue ice to summit Mt. Lhotse. However, the fixed ropes throughout the route will help you conquer the challenge. The route to Mt. Lhotse follows the same trail as Everest up to Yellow Band. From that divergent point, the climbers to the Lhotse take right up to the Lhotse Face while the climbers of Everest take the left, over the Geneva Spur.
