Trip Overview

Though Everest, the highest mountain in the world has been conquered many times in these 50 years since the first conquest in 1953 by Sir E. Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, it is still magnificent, mysterious and beguiling as ever. This mountain has many names: - Chomolungma, Sagarmatha, Qomolungma or Mt. Everest and stands incredibly tall against the shared sky of Nepal and Tibet. Up to Base Camp, you will have tea houses (lodges) trek with suitable three times hot meals. But the exact expedition begins at base camp with a short walk along the moraine that leads to the icegall. The icefall is fixed and maintained with rope and ladders all the way to Camp I. From Camp I to Camp II, the air is much thinner as we make our way up the Lhotse face with mixed snow and ice to Camp III. From Camp III to the South Col the climbing is on easy to moderate mixed snow and rock leading to the South Col- Camp IV. Summit day starts around 11: 00 Pm the same day. Summit day starts around 11:00pm the same day up fixed ropes onmixed snow and rock to the south summit, then a short traverse to the Hillary step then all up here to the summit arriving around 9:00am. The decent from the summit to the South Col takes 3-5 hours. Completion of this expedition is considered the greatest achievements in one’s life.
