Lhotse Expedition
- DURATION: 60 DAYS
Lhotse Expedition; Mt. Lhotse (8,516 meters) proudly claims the title of the fourth-highest mountain in the world, rising dramatically alongside Mt. Everest. Connected to Everest via the South Col, Lhotse offers an awe-inspiring expedition for elite climbers seeking a more technical and less-traveled ascent.
The name “Lhotse” means “South Peak” in Tibetan, and the mountain features three summits: Lhotse Main (8,516m), Lhotse Middle (8,414m), and Lhotse Shar (8,383m). The expedition trail starts from the bustling Khumbu region, heading through Everest Base Camp and then diverging toward the legendary Lhotse Face—considered one of the steepest ice walls on the planet.
Mt. Lhotse lies just south of Everest, sharing its base camp and route through the famed Khumbu Icefall. After crossing the Lhotse Face, climbers follow a steep and icy couloir that leads to the summit — a narrower, more exposed route compared to Everest.

Lhotse is a high-level expedition requiring exceptional physical fitness, prior 6,000m+ summit experience, and advanced skills in ice climbing and crevasse navigation.
