LOBUCHE EAST EXPEDITION
Nov 14 2026 - Dec 02 2026
Our Lobuche East Expedition is a serious 6000 meter Himalayan climbing journey in the shadow of Mount Everest. Our Lobuche East expedition approaches the mountain through the classic Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar acclimatisation journey, although it is also possible to arrange the climb to Lobuche through the remote Gokyo Lakes and Cho La Pass route. From Kathmandu to the Khumbu, every stage is designed to prepare you for the mountain: steady acclimatisation, expert trekking support, technical climbing training, high altitude camps, and a summit attempt led by certified high altitude climbing guides. With LHO Team Leader support, specialist mountain leadership on Lobuche East, and one helicopter sector between Kathmandu and Lukla included, this is a powerful next step for trekkers ready to move into real Himalayan mountaineering. Lobuche East is best understood as part of a wider Nepal progression, from high altitude treks such as Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes through to more serious Himalayan climbing objectives.

CLIMB MONT BLANC
Aug 30 2026 - Sep 06 2026
Life Happens Outdoors' eight-day Mont Blanc Summit Course is designed for fit, prepared first-time alpine climbers who want structured acclimatisation, mountain-skills training and a guided attempt via the Goûter route.

IFMGA-certified guides lead the mountain days, with a published 2:1 guide-to-client ratio when climbing Mont Blanc. Progression to the summit phase is conditional on fitness, technical readiness, weather, mountain conditions, access and guide judgement. If Mont Blanc is not safely achievable, the guides may change the objective or turn the team around. A summit is never guaranteed.

Our guided Kilimanjaro expedition is designed for active first time climbers, ambitious hikers, and anyone ready to stand on Africa’s highest mountain with expert support from start to finish. Kilimanjaro rises to 5,895 metres above sea level, making it the highest mountain in Africa and one of the world’s great non technical high altitude climbs. You do not need previous mountaineering experience, but you do need the right preparation, a sensible route profile, strong local support, and a team that understands how to manage altitude, pacing, safety, and morale. At Life Happens Outdoors, we have refined this climb through years of successful expeditions. Our approach includes experienced Kilimanjaro guides, an LHO Expedition Coordinator, regular health checks, a nutritious mountain menu, private camping facilities, quality meals, and a team environment designed to help you keep moving when the mountain asks more of you. This is more than a summit attempt. It is a journey through rainforest, moorland, alpine desert, and high altitude wilderness, ending at Uhuru Peak on the roof of Africa. For many LHOers, Kilimanjaro is their first major high altitude adventure and the moment they discover what they are capable of.

MANASLU EXPEDITION: A GUIDED 8,163M CLIMB IN NEPAL
Aug 30 2026 - Oct 13 2026
Manaslu is an 8,163-metre expedition for experienced high-altitude mountaineers, not a first 6,000-metre climb or a place to learn basic rope systems. Climbers must arrive competent on crampons, fixed lines and glacier terrain, with a proven record of multi-day expeditions at altitude and the physical and psychological resilience to operate for several weeks in extreme cold and hypoxia. LHO and NNMGA-certified high-altitude mountain guides manage acclimatisation, camps, oxygen planning and summit decisions, but no support model removes the risk of altitude illness, avalanche, crevasse fall, frostbite, exhaustion, equipment failure or failed rescue. Acceptance depends on a documented review of expedition experience, technical competence, altitude history and health information.
