Double the peaks, smarter the climb.

Join our Ama Dablam (6,812m) & Lobuche East (6,119m) Expedition—a two-peak expedition designed for better acclimatization and a more efficient summit push.

Since launching this itinerary in 2022, we’ve seen higher success rates and smoother climbs. Instead of doing multiple rotations on Ama Dablam, we take the scenic route via Gokyo Lakes, climb Lobuche East first—gaining valuable altitude experience and real Himalayan climbing exposure—then move toward Ama Dablam, fully prepared.

This approach not only boosts acclimatization but also sharpens your technical skills before the main climb. It’s an excellent step up for those looking to move into more technical Himalayan ascents.

Limited spaces available for our October 20 departure. Join a well-supported expedition led by experienced Sherpa guides.

Training before the summit: What you’ll learn on our 6000m peak climbs

You don’t need prior mountaineering experience to join our 6000m peak climbing trips—just solid physical fitness, a strong mindset, and a love for the mountains.

Before the actual climb, we include a dedicated climbing clinic day at base camp or high camp. This is where your guide will teach and practice the key technical skills needed for a safe and successful ascent.

What the training includes:

- How to properly use a jumar (ascender) to climb fixed ropes
- How to use a descender (figure 8 or ATC) for controlled descent
- How to safely change carabiners on traverses or while passing anchors
- Basic rope techniques and efficient movement on mixed terrain
- Use of crampons and ice axe (depending on the route)

This hands-on session gives you the confidence and skills to climb efficiently, even if it's your first time on fixed lines or technical ground.

By the time you begin your summit push, you won’t just be ready—you’ll be trained, supported, and climbing with intention.

Client Testimonial — Andrew S, Canada
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Lobuche Peak Climb, April 2025

My wife and I climbed Lobouche East via Goyko with Highland Expeditions. Communications prior to the trip were with Passang, who always took time to answer our questions by phone or email.

Having done the Goyko trek the year before, we wanted to add a climb this time. Passang met all our requests and even gave us a great deal on helicopter flights from Kathmandu to Lukla. I highly recommend taking the helicopter to and from Lukla—treat yourself if you can.

Once in Kathmandu, Passang made a thorough check of our clothing and climbing gear, which was a very nice touch. Highland is extremely concerned that your trek and climb are successful, going out of their way many times to ensure it.

Our guide Mingma was incredible. We had a great time with him; he was not only an expert climber but also a wonderful ambassador for Nepal, educating us on local culture. Mingma was very attentive to our individual needs and suggested we hire an additional guide for summit day.

I hired his friend Konga, a local legend, and I’m so glad we each had our own guide as my wife and I are at different climbing levels. Having two guides made a huge difference. Konga was easy to get along with and an extreme climbing pro, making my summit day unforgettable.

Our teahouses and food were great. Mingma is well known on the trekking route and has strong relationships with teahouse owners.

Overall, Highland Expeditions exceeded all our expectations and gave us memories for a lifetime. Thank you so much Passang, Mingma, and Konga.

Acclimatization days are an essential part of any itinerary, whether you're trekking or taking on a bigger climb. They're included to help your body gradually adjust to the increasing altitude.

The general idea is simple: climb high during the day to stimulate acclimatization, then descend to sleep at a lower elevation so your body can recover properly.

All of our itineraries are thoughtfully designed with well-paced acclimatization built in, giving you the best chance for a safe, enjoyable, and successful journey.

So, is it safe? Is it even doable?

Yes. With thoughtful planning, a steady pace, and realistic expectations, trekking to EBC with kids is absolutely achievable, especially if they’re active, healthy, and already comfortable on the trail.
