Lhotse stands at 8516 M, making it the 4th highest mountain in the world. It is situated at the border of Tibet and Nepal. Its long east-west crest is located immediately south of Mount Everest, and the South Col, a vertical ridge that never drops below 8,000m, connects the summits of the two mountains. The route progresses through Khumbu icefall. Moving further, we will reach Camp 1 which exists at the top of Khumbu icefall that is surrounded by crevasses.

From Camp I, we will pass through lateral moraine to the west ridge that greets us with a close-up view of Lhotse. This place is perfect for Camp-II. Leaving Camp-II, we will reach near to Lhotse wall by crossing glaciers and ice cliffs where we will set Camp-III. Camp-IV is located near South Col. From Camp -IV, we will proceed through steep rock sections to the summit.
