Lhotse

On the ascent to Namche Bazaar, we enjoy the first stunning views of Everest and Lhotse.
Among the world's largest mountains, Lhotse stands out like a huge tower of ice and rock. At 8,516 metres high, this fourth-highest top destination on the planet is renowned for its steep incline and the extreme conditions faced by those who dare to climb it.

The story of Lhotse is filled with courage and tragic moments. In 1956, Swiss men Ernst Rice and Fritz Luhsener made history with the first successful ascent, paving the way for many others to follow, despite the extremely difficult conditions.

The mountain is notorious for the "Wall of Death," a steep slope that is the last obstacle before the summit and has cost the lives of several climbers. This steep slope is considered one of the most dangerous challenges in the world of alpinism.

Despite the difficulties, Lhotse attracts alpinists from all over the world every year, with its otherworldly beauty and challenges making it one of the most iconic mountains in the world of mountaineering.
