Everest Expedition overview

Mount Everest, at 8,848 meters (29,028 feet), is the highest peak on Earth and the ultimate mountaineering goal. Known as Sagarmatha in Nepali and Chomolungma in Tibetan, Everest has drawn adventurers for decades. Since the first successful ascent by Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa of Nepal on May 29, 1953, the mountain has been climbed by thousands of alpinists but still remains a test of endurance, courage, and determination.

The Everest South Col Route (Nepal side) is the classic and most popular path to the summit. The Everest expedition begins in Kathmandu, continues with a scenic mountain flight to Lukla, and follows the iconic Everest Base Camp trek through Sherpa villages, monasteries, and valleys. From Base Camp (5360m), climbers spend weeks acclimatizing and climbing through four high camps before launching the final summit attempt from Camp IV (8,400m).

Climbers will face the Khumbu Icefall, the Lhotse Face, and the South Col before stepping onto the top of the world. Our expedition provides experienced Everest summiteer Sherpas, full logistic support, oxygen systems, and Base Camp facilities to give climbers the best chance of success while maintaining safety standards.
