Lhotse Climb Combo
Starts at $19,995 added to your Everest program
Combining an ascent of Mt. Everest and the 4th highest mountain in the world, Lhotse, is a huge feat! With advancements in oxygen system technology and our rope fixing infrastructure it is now an achievable possibility to tag these 2 X 8000m summits in under 24 hours (given you are already so well acclimatised)
After summiting Mt Everest, you will rest on oxygen at either the South Col or Lhotse high camp (just off the Geneva Spur) for the night before climbing Lhotse’s summit pyramid early the next morning with a Personal Sherpa*. You then drop down to Camp 2 that same day and back to Base Camp the following day.
This adds only a day of extra climbing onto your chosen Mt. Everest program.
If you are goal driven, chasing the 8,000m peaks or simply want to enter the record books of the tiny number of people that have completed this double header feat, we’re happy to help you make this happen by organising and facilitating your Lhotse add on.
*Depending on your program you may be able to secure your private Everest Guide for your Lhotse Ascent too – Private IFMGA Guides attract an additional fee of $5,000 and Private Western Guides attract an additional fee of $10,000.
This is a sample itinerary only. Your actual daily schedule will be strategically planned to account for the best weather and summit windows etc. We begin our expedition in Kathmandu, Nepal, where we obtain our climbing permits before flying to Lukla in the Khumbu Valley to trek to Everest base camp. Our climb ends in Kathmandu. We suggest you book a flexible return airfare.
