There are two main peaks, Lobuche East and Lobuche West. A permit to climb the mountain is required from the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA), which classifies Lobuche East (6,119m) as a \"trekking peak\" and Lobuche West (6,145m) as an \"expedition peak\". The permit is issued by Nepal Mountaineering Association and costs US$350 during spring, US$175 during autumn, and US$175 during winter/summer. The easier, trekking peak, the East peak is climbed far more frequently than the West peak; however, most of those climbers only do so to reach a false summit that is still a few hours from the true summit of Lobuche East. Between the two peaks is a long, deeply notched ridge, with a steep drop and its considerable distance making an approach of the West peak from the East practically impossible.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"type","label":"Type","values":[{"text":"mountain","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8502"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1291226#P31"}},{"key":"located_in","label":"Located in","values":[{"text":"Khumbu Pasanglhamu (rural municipality of Nepal)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q32572193"},{"text":"Solukhumbu District (district of Nepal)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q28363","page":"https://diginpl.com/places/solukhumbu-district"},{"text":"Koshi Province (province of Nepal)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q25104008","page":"https://diginpl.com/places/koshi-province"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1291226#P131"}},{"key":"elevation","label":"Elevation","values":[{"text":"6,145 m","value":6145.0}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1291226#P2044"}},{"key":"prominence","label":"Prominence","values":[{"text":"275 m","value":275.0}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1291226#P2660"}},{"key":"range","label":"Mountain range","values":[{"text":"Himalayas","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5451","page":"https://diginpl.com/places/himalayas"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1291226#P4552"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobuche","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1291226"],"faq":[{"q":"Where is Lobuche located?","a":"Lobuche is located in Khumbu Pasanglhamu, Solukhumbu District, Koshi Province, Nepal."},{"q":"What is the elevation of Lobuche?","a":"Lobuche is at an elevation of 6,145 m above sea level."}],"related":[],"places_in":[],"nearby":[{"name":"Khumbu Glacier","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/khumbu-glacier","km":3.4},{"name":"Gorakshep","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/gorakshep","km":4.5},{"name":"Cholatse","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/cholatse","km":5.0},{"name":"Kala Patthar","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/kala-patthar","km":5.5},{"name":"Taboche","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/taboche","km":7.0},{"name":"Pumori","url":"https://diginpl.com/places/pumori","km":7.3}],"image":{"url":"https://thumb.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/Lobuche_East_Peak.jpg/960px-Lobuche_East_Peak.jpg","width":640,"height":428,"license":"CC BY-SA 4.0","credit":"Theprotrekker","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lobuche_East_Peak.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Lobuche","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobuche","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q1291226","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1291226","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Lobuche East Peak.jpg by Theprotrekker (CC BY-SA 4.0)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lobuche_East_Peak.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Lobuche, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
