Lhotse Expedition, Climb the fourth highest mountain in the world
Existing to the south of Everest, Lhotse is the fourth-highest mountain in the world. Lhotse is linked with Everest by Everest South Col. The southern face of Lhotse is considered one of the world’s largest Mountain faces as the southern face soar high up to 3.2 km in a mere 2.25km of horizontal distance. Lhotse Massif comprises Lhotse East (8414m), Lhotse (8516m) and Lhotse Shar (8383m). Lhotse is located near Tibet and Lhotse in the Tibetan dialect means South Peak. Since Everest and Lhotse are located near to each other, we will follow the same route to Everest through Everest South Col. Everest climbers head to the left of South Col while Lhotse Climbers take the right path.
The route progresses through Khumbu icefall. Moving further from base camp, we will reach Camp 1 (5,900m/19,500ft) which exists at the top of Khumbu icefall that is surrounded by crevasses. From Camp 1, we will pass through a lateral moraine to the west ridge that greets us with a close-up view of Lhotse. This place is perfect for Camp 2 (6,400m/21,000ft). Leaving Camp 2, we will reach near to Lhotse wall by crossing glacier and ice cliffs where we will set Camp 3 (7,300m/23,700ft). Camp 4 (7,900m/25,912ft) is located near South Col. From Camp 4, we will proceed through steep rock sections to the summit. We provide 1:1 Sherpa to a client ratio. Compared to the facilities we provide; you will find our Lhotse Expedition cost to be very reasonable. We are dedicated to providing the highest professionalism throughout the expedition by taking utmost care of all the logistics needed for our Lhotse Expedition
