Lhotse Shar Glacier

Lhotse Shar Glacier extends across the northeastern Himalayan region, connecting with Imja and Ambulapcha glaciers to form a substantial ice formation network.

The glacier has undergone substantial changes since the 1960s, with scientific measurements documenting its gradual retreat and transformation of the surrounding landscape.

Local Sherpa communities have integrated this glacier into their traditions, recognizing it as a sacred natural element within their mountain environment.

Visitors can reach the glacier through established trekking routes from Lukla, following paths that pass through various camps and settlements.

The glacier maintains direct contact with Imja Tsho lake, creating a natural water reservoir at an elevation of 5,010 meters above sea level.
