Knowing that it's the highest peak in the world, conquering Everest Expedition is a huge challenge and adventure. The day of May 29, 1953, is noteworthy and important in human history. At 11:30 a.m. on this day, Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal successfully ascended Mount Everest. Before that time, several mountaineers had made attempts to climb the world's tallest peak but possibly couldn’t. Later, the very famous Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary conquered the highest peak in the world, through the south col route. They were the most exciting climbers all around the world who created a new benchmark for Everest Expeditions.

Mount Everest is located in the Khumbu region, the boundary between Nepal and Tibet. The tallest mountain faces Tibet on its south face and Nepal on its north face which gives two ways to conquer the mountain, from the south through Tibet and north through Nepal. From both the Tibetan and Nepalese sides, Everest has been scaled. Mao Zedong led the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, often known as the Cultural Revolution, which saw China close its borders with Tibet and increased interest in climbing Mount Everest from its southern slope.

How Difficult is the Mount Everest Expedition?

Everest Expeditions is challenging and expensive too. The huge mountain stands out as the biggest climbing challenge in the globe. People are fascinated by the idea of climbing Mount Everest while setting records as well. Each year from Nepal, over a thousand mountaineers attempt to summit Mount Everest, where numerous records have been attained.

Excursions to Mount Everest do include a certain amount of risk. Because of the extremely challenging altitudes and the resulting air pressure (or lack thereof), the punishing weather that can change rapidly, and the sheer difficulty of the world's tallest peak, expeditions to Mount Everest are more challenging. These challenges continue to drive us to make every attempt to create the best and safest Everest adventure for you. Our years of expertise have taught us to never stop learning and developing. The risk and the achievement are real because few people can say they have ascended the world's tallest peak. Earning the title of Everesteer requires a lot of work, dedication, and passion to take the challenge.

Best time for the Everest Expedition 

We will design the ideal Everest tour for you to help you achieve your ultimate climbing objective. Generally speaking, April, May, October, and November are considered to be the best months to attempt to climb Everest. The time when the snow in the peaks is low is selected. During this time the mountaineers find the expedition much easier compared to the time full of snow. In winter the place can’t even be thought to climb due to the heavy snow. Hence, you must plan your trip mostly during May- April, the most favorable time for the climb.

After a relaxing stroll through the forest and a breathtaking view of the mountains, we start our hike this morning after breakfast. the breathtaking view of the snow-capped eastern mountains, which includes Kwangde Peak, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Everest.

Day 11-60: Climbing Period for Mt. Everest

We shall traverse the Icefall as little as possible.

Camp 1: 20000ft. (6,400m)

Camp 1 is situated in a flat area covered with endless snow, deep crevasses, and mountainsides. Because of the Sun's reflection on this place, we feel warm and take in the environment. We spend the evenings listening to the deep, crackling murmurs of crevasses beneath our tent. Now, we must traverse these places on foot to reach camp 2.

Camp 2: 21000ft. (6,750m)

Camp 2 is located at the base of the snowy Mount Lhotse wall, which we must pass through, at a height of 21000 feet. Despite the beautiful weather at the moment, black clouds are moving from the low range of the Himalayas down to the foot of camp two. But sometimes it seems as though the wind in this area is so fierce that it could sweep our tents away. Upon ascending these palaces, we arrive at camp 3. 

Camp 3: 22300ft. (7,100m)

Camp 3 is situated near Mount Lhotse's wall at a height of 22300 feet. After scaling the 4,000-foot Lhotse wall with fixed rope and proper acclimatization, we arrive at camp 4. We must also ascend the challenging permit bands along the way (lose, down-slopping, and rotten limestone). After briefly traversing a snowfield, the path continues up the Geneva Spur to the east and ends on the flats of the south col. (Another well with the name Saddle of Pass.) In case the climbers need it, oxygen should probably be used above base camp 3. 

Camp 4: 26000ft. (8,400m)

At a height of 26000 feet, camp 4—the expedition's final camp—is where we are right now. About 500 meters separate us from the summit. This is the last and riskiest part of the ascent. Here, the winds are blowing ferociously and furiously. The most common approach to the O top is through the South-East Ridge, which is brief and lies at 28710 feet before the South Top. It is a short ascent from here to Everest peak, which is located at 29028 feet above sea level. This route was used by the late Tenzing Norge Sherpa and Edmond Hillary in 1953.

Day 61: Base Camp - Thyanboche (3,867m/12,684 ft)6-7 hrs walk

After today's fantastic climbs, we're going to Tangboche.

Day 62: Thyanboche - Phakding (2,652/8,700m ft) 5-6 hrs walk

After breakfast, make the short trek to Phunkethanga, a quaint settlement with a few teahouses. The track ascends via a wooded path full of lovely memories from here. Trek to Sanasa and over a suspension bridge over the Dudh Koshi River. From there, you can continue to Phagding for the night.

Day 63: Phakding - Lukla (2,800m/9,186 ft) 3-4 hrs walk

Today's hike is rather straightforward; we ascend and descend a few hills while continuing on the route we used to reach Lukla the previous day. It will take around 4 hours to get back to Lukla. Your guide will confirm your flight for the next morning after you take a quick shower. If you wish to, you can go for a walk.
