Located south of Mount Everest, Lhotse is the fourth highest mountain in the world. Lhotse Everest is connected to Everest by South Col. Many climbers prefer the west face as a general Lhotse climbing route. Lhotse is located near Tibet and Lhotse means South Peak in Tibetan dialect. Since Mt Everest and Lhotse are close to each other we follow the same route to reach Mt Everest through Mt South Col. Everest climbers go to the left of the South Col while Lhotse climbers go to the right.

Lhotse Climbing Route

Moving further from base camp, you will reach Camp 1 (5,900m/19,500ft) which exists at the top of Khumbu icefall that is surrounded by crevasses. From Camp 1, you 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, you will reach near to Lhotse wall by crossing glacier and ice cliffs where you will set Camp 3 (7,300m/23,700ft). Camp 4 (7,900m/25,912ft) is located near South Col. From Camp 4, you will proceed through steep rock sections to the summit.
