Lhotse Trek & Expedition FAQs
How long does Lhotse take?
Across the operators we track, itineraries for Lhotse run between 33 days and 62 days (median 48 days), depending on the route, acclimatization schedule and whether extra days are built in for weather.
How much does Lhotse cost?
Prices from the 7 USD-quoted operators we track for Lhotse range from $15,000 to $49,500, with a median around $19,950. Exact cost depends on group size, service level (shared vs. private) and what's included, such as permits, staff and equipment.
When is the best time to climb/trek Lhotse?
Lhotse is located in Nepal's Khumbu region, the 4th highest mountain, sharing Everest's route to the South Col. The best season is generally primarily spring (March-May).
What permits do I need for Lhotse?
You'll typically need a separate Nepal Department of Tourism climbing royalty from Everest, even though the route overlaps for most of the climb.
How difficult is Lhotse?
Shares Everest's technical challenges (Khumbu Icefall, fixed ropes) up to the South Col before diverging up the steep Lhotse Face and Couloir to its own summit.
Can Lhotse be climbed together with Everest?
Yes - because the routes share the same base camp and line up to the South Col, some climbers attempt both peaks in a single season, though this requires separate permits and enough spare strength for a second summit push.
