Climbing to the summit of the world’s highest mountain is a lifetime dream to all the trekkers and mountaineers of the world. Everest Expedition takes the trekkers and mountaineers to the summit of the world’s highest mountain and gives the visitors an opportunity to explore the untouched and hidden gems that are found in the heart of this mighty mountain. Mt. Everest, located in the heart of the majestic Khumbu region is one of the most popular and demanding trekking destinations of the world. You will also get an opportunity to follow on the legendary trail that which was first climbed by Tenzing Norgey Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary.

One of the major attractions of this expedition is the opportunity to stand on the tallest mountain of the world and view the world with a bird’s view. We will also be exploring the unique cultures and lifestyles of people living in the Khumbu region since many years. Sightseeing of the rare species of animals and birds that rae found in the Khumbu region is also another major attraction of this expedition.

One should need a good physical stamina and previous climbing experience to reach to the summit of this mountain. You will also need the technical climbing experience to climb to some of the difficult paths in the trail.  We personally recommend to be mentally as well as physically prepared for the obstacles and barriers that one should face during the climb to the summit of this mountain. Chances of avalanches, heavy snowfall, ice falls, rock falling from the cliffs are common as we will be climbing above the height of 8000m. You should also be prepared for the high-altitude sickness and loss of breathe as these sorts of challenges are also too common at a height of 8000m.

The journey to the summit of the world’s highest mountain starts with the sightseeing of the capital city of our country. We will visit some of the famous places of Kathmandu and then take a scenic flight to Lukla. This short flight gives you a pre-opportunity to do the sightseeing of Himalayan panorama from the aircraft. After landing on Lukla, we will begin our trek and trek via many Sherpa settlements and forests to reach the gateway of Everest, Namche Bazar. Namche Bazar, also known as the Thamel of Everest is one of the most famous places of Khumbu region as you can see numbers of luxury hotels, spas, restaurants, ATM’s and other many fascinating places. Trekking via the trail of Amadablam will take us to Tyangboche monastery which is one of the ancient monasteries of Nepal. Trekking ahead will take us to the base camp of Everest. We will do some essential techniques and practice some skills in the base camp and then start to climb to reach the summit of Everest.

South Col Route Camps:

Base camp: 17,060’/ 5200m

Everest base camp lies notice sheet at 5,200 meters from sea level, where you will spend up to 45 days. The Conditions in Everest Base Camp will stay steady during the climbing period and include stirring many tents and stages as the ice moves and melts. The territory is unforgiving yet delightful, encompassed by Pumori, Nuptse, Lola, Nutse, and the Khumbu Icefall with warm mornings and unexpected evening snow gusts. With such numerous endeavor groups at BC, it closely resembles a little town in the Himalayas.

C1: 19,357’/ 5900m

Arriving at C1 is the most specialized piece of a southside move since it crosses the Khumbu Icefall. The Icefall is 2,000′ feet of moving ice with profound chasms, transcending ice sera’s and torrential slides off Everest’s west shoulder. During the climbing period, we endeavor to go through just two evenings at Camp I for acclimation. If you have appropriate acclimatization, the game plans call you to go all over direct from camp II to security.

C2: 20,998’/ 6400m

Camp 2 lies in a sidelong moraine at the lower part of the west edge. It is a too protected and shielded area with huge perspectives on Lhotse. All organizations set-up their primary climbing camp for the climbing period’s duration here with tents for individual climbers and kitchen and dining tents. Camp II is an essential acclimatization camp and the central command for focus III. The camp where you are spending the most time after base camp.

C3: 23,294’/ 7100m

Climbing the Lhotse Face to C3 is often tricky since almost all climbers feel the effects of high altitude and are not yet using supplemental oxygen. The Lhotse Face is steep, and the ice is hard, but the route fixed with rope, and the angles can range from 30 to 45 degrees. It is a long climb to C3 but required for acclimatization before a summit bid. You will spend two nights at camp three for acclimatization and the summit push.

South Col: 26,300’/ 8000m

Welcome to the moon—the Everest to the north and Lhotse on the south covered with loose rock. Located at the South Col is the last camp; most climbers are easily accessible without supplementary oxygen. There are two rock sections to navigate before camp 4: the Yellow Band, an inter-layer of marble, phyllite, semi schist rock, and the Geneva Spur, an anvil-shaped rib of black stone. Both of these areas are set-up with fixed ropes.

Summit: 29,032′/ 8848.86m – 1 hour or less

The last section from the South Col to the summit takes 09-13 hours to navigate. There is the Balcony, the Hillary Step, and the south summit before reaching the central panel. The route to the true summit is a moderate snow slope, and while tired, adrenaline keeps most climbers moving at this point.
