Trek Nepal Himalayas team follow the normal route to Lothse and Nuptse. The Nubtse/ Nuptse Expedition commences from Lukla 2850 approx. after a scenic flight from Kathmandu. The Base Camp lies beside the Khumbu Glacier above its icefall. The steep and rocky south-face of Nuptse slopes rise from the Western valley with the upper part attached with Khumbu-glacier, above the icefall.

The Spring season (March to May ) and the autumn season (September to November ) is considered as the best Nuptse expedition seasons.
