Up in Pheriche, some of us are staying a couple extra nights with Phinjo, while others made the move up to Lobuche Base Camp.
IMG’s Lobuche Base Camp is now established at about 16,000 feet on the south side of the mountain (there are other camps on the east side). The camp is super comfortable with kitchen and dining tents, toilets, and comfy sleeping tents with nice thick foam mattresses! All IMG climbers and trekkers will be spending several nights here before moving to Everest Base Camp. Once we hit Lobuche BC, we are finished staying in the lodges until it is time to hike back to Lukla! From here on up, with our own cook staff preparing food, we are now 100% in control of our environment. It is super important that everyone be healthy and acclimatized when they make the move up to Everest BC, and Lobuche BC is a perfect place to get prepared.
