Everest & Lhotse Combo Climb
Add-on $19,995 USD to your Everest program
Combining an ascent of Mount 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 acclimatized)
After summiting 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 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 organizing and facilitating your Lhotse add-on.
* Depending on your program you may be able to secure your private Everest guide for your Lhotse ascent as well. Private IFMGA guides come with an additional fee of $5,000 USD and private Western guides come with an additional fee of $10,000 USD.
