Join us to climb the mt. Lhotse Expedition (8516m) which is the world’s fourth highest mountain. The main summit of Lhotse was first climbed on 18 May 1956, by the Swiss team of Ernst Reiss and Fritz Luchsinger, members of the Swiss Mount Everest/Lhotse Expedition. On 12 May 1970, Sepp Mayerl and Rolf Walter of Austria made the first ascent of Lhotse Shar. Dreaming to summit the tallest mountain Everest, mountaineers combine choose this mountain to climb. Very often, Climbers making an attempt on Everest, go up the Lhotse to acclimatize.
With Everest to the north and Nuptse to the west, Lhotse forms the apex of the massive horseshoe-shaped arc of the Everest massif. Despite the tremendous vertical relief of its South and Northeast Faces, it is the least prominent of the eight-thousanders due to the great height of the South Col between it and Everest. Lhotse’s Western Face, recessed behind the head of the Khumbu Glacier in the Western Cwm, plays an integral part in the standard routes of ascent for both peaks; the name Lhotse, which means “South Peak” in Tibetan, further emphasizes the close relationship between the two.
Our dedicated Sherpa team carefully handles this expedition who are much more experienced and helpful.
