Nuptse from Lobuche, Everest trek. 1 May 1986

The peak of Nuptse (altitude 7,861m) appears to dominate the horizon when viewed from outside the Trekker’s Inn lodge at Lobuche, (altitude 4,940m). Nuptse is connected to and considered the western peak of the Lohtes-Nuptse massif and in turn the considerably higher Chomolungma – only 2km behind it.
