Climbing Lobuche East Peak | Nepal

Climbing Lobuche East peak in Nepal was the highlight of my trip. After finishing the Everest Base Camp Trek I joined my 2 friends to climb Lobuche peak which was my 1st 6000m mountain.
Being a hiking guide in Hawaii, I was in good physical shape, but I had not much experience in mountaineering, definitely not on high elevation.
It was a lifetime experience which opened the door for me towards climbing.
Thank you for CrewTreks (www.crewtreks.com) for helping this climb come together.

A Magnificent Climb, Nandor!!!! Beautiful shots and thank you for sharing :) !!! The hike was incredible and so steep and difficult; I could feel you breathing hard but YOU DID IT!!! I felt like I was climbing with you on some shots!!! Mahalo!!! Another Amazing Feat for YOU!!! AMAZING!!!!

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thank You Lita! Yeah, this climb made me work hard for sure, but it was very good and pushed my limits. Now I am ready for some more🤙🏻

[@litamarcellus7075]

Nandor, you are in excellent condition !!!! You are ready for another fantastic adventure !!!!

[@HungaroExplorer]

I hope so!💪

@@HungaroExplorer You have the drive and you will DO IT !!!! I have every confidence in you, Nandor :) !!!

[@HungaroExplorer]

@@litamarcellus7075 Well, in couple weeks I go hike Costa Rica’s highest peak, so I am excited about that. I make sure I film it 😜

[@tessafaure5756]

Thank you for sharing! This is the next goal and adventure i have on my bucket list. I just did Kilimanjaro at 5,895m but no snow / ice to deal with. This definitely adds technicality with ropes and crampons. I see you only really switched to crampons and clipped in ropes for the summit night, so up to high camp is still hiking boots and 'trekking' unattached? great footage shot while navigating elevatioN!!!

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thank You Tess for the feedback! Kilimanjaro is a different beast, but definitely not technical. Up to high camp I was actually hiking with my trail runners :) From 17,000ft where high campnis we started out early and used just the boots on the rocky areas until we reached the snow culoir. That’s where the fun started :D I think it is a great step up for you from Kili. It will be different but I think you will like it. Good luck!

[@TraintoSummit]

Just discovered your channel after researching Cerro Chirripo. Amazing cinematography mate! I do the same type of content on my channel. I know from being at the top of Orizaba that filming at that altitude takes some serious discipline, great work!😂 Subbed 👊

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thanks mate! Yeah, I saw you had some videos too, I am always happy to see other peoples adventure so I subbed to your channel too. Good work! High elevation filming is a bit different than sea level filming for sure 😜

[@thewanderingeye7133]

wow amazing video!

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thank You!

[@OutdoorPrep]

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing. How were the temperatures? When were you there?

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thanks Rob! The temperatire wasn’t bad at all. I didn’t even have to use my heavier down jacket. On the way down the snow was melting too..

[@FlyingConstantin]

Congratulations!

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thanks man!

I just completed South EBC (slept overnight) and now considering a 6000m+ mountain. Lobuche East or another 6000m+. Seems like everyone recommends Lobuche East as the first 6000m+ mountain to climb. Did you go with EliteExped? Great video!

[@HungaroExplorer]

Lobuche East or Island Peak is one of the more recommended peaks yes. I went with my friends company CrewTreks, but EliteExped must be good too. Lobuche is a great first 6000 meter peak, no doubt! Have a great climb if you do it!

[@silveriver9]

@@HungaroExplorer Awesome, thanks for the heads up buddy!

[@85etranger]

Hey Nandor!…I’m not sure if you’re Hungarian or just the name..but I’m going to Nepal in October for climbing lobuche peak..can you help me what company did you went with..if you speak Hungarian then köszönöm a segítséget elöre if you not …thank you for your help 🙏🏼

[@HungaroExplorer]

Yes, I am hubgarian, but I live in Hawaii now. En egy ismerosom altal jutottam ki Nepalba. Van egy tura cege Seattleben, ugyhogy ha te Magyarorszagrol akarsz kimenni, jobb lenne egy ceget talalnod otthol. Nagyon ajanlom ezt a csucsot mert ha lenyomsz egy Everest Base Camp turat, akklimatizalodsz es ez extra 2 nap max, hogy megmaszd. Nem konnyu, de mindenfelekepp megeri!

[@Andre-ep9yh]

Very nice but we can see you've not got the real top of this mountain .It is behind you on the video with a summit a little more higher apparently...

[@HungaroExplorer]

Yes, this was actually the “false peak” of Lobuche. I realized that most of the people stops here. I think there is ankther way to reach the actual peak, but not sure. Have you done the actual Lobuche?

[@macariastravel]

Very nice, I liked, I want make Lobuche pic. Do you know how contact sherpa in Katmandú ?

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thanks! This is his WhatsUp number Ang Sherpa [phone]

[@walidkaddour3189]

i hope one day i can do this , it will be my dream come true

[@HungaroExplorer]

You will! Just work towards it, put it in your priority list and you will make it happen.

[@aniketnarendrajadhav4031]

Did you join a trekking company for Lobuche? How much did the trek cost? Thanks!

[@HungaroExplorer]

I joined my friend's group, his company is called CrewTreks. I did not have to pay just for the permit to climb Lobuche which is $250 plus an extra $250 for the high camp sleep, food and guide. I was lucky to just pay the bare minimum, otherwise the trek can cost together with EBC about 4k+. Just to add Louche to your itinerary can be extra $1500. Price can vary I guess, depending on who you join or who you know. I hope this helps!
