Lobuche (4,940 m/16,210 ft) is a beautiful settlement en route to Everest Base Camp. It is also one of the last settlements where you will spend the night before arriving at the foot of Mt. Everest. Many trekkers find this settlement a great acclimatization spot as well. Lobuche lies at the foot of the Khumbu Glacier and is approximately 8.5 km southwest of base camp.
Lobuche remains surrounded by towering mountains of Lobuche East, Lobuche Far East, Lobuche West, Labuche Kang, and others. It is a bustling place with many trekkers, mountaineers, Sherpa guides, and porters passing through. You can also find Yaks carrying luggage of supplies for trekkers and trekkers on their expeditions.
However, as with many high-altitude destinations, altitude sickness is quite common in the region. The various altitude sickness symptoms include nausea, dizziness, headache, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, insomnia, etc. While most adventurers can tackle these conditions through various measures, some fall sick quite seriously.
Severe acute mountain sickness forms include High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) and High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE). These conditions, if not treated in time, can even turn fatal. Other physical injuries are also typical as you will have to trek in rugged landscapes for a long duration.
