Mount Everest's local names give you a sense of how the mountain commands respect from all who see her. Standing incredibly tall silhouetted against the shared sky of Nepal and Tibet, this mountain has many names: Chomolungma, Sagarmatha, Whichever name one chooses, its vagueness still lives on. Most mountaineers have their dream to reach the summit of Everest in their lifetime.
Mount Everest has two main different climbing routes, the southeast route from Nepal and the northeast ridge from Tibet (China), as well as many other less frequently climbed routes. Of the two main routes, the southeast ridge is technically more accessible and is the more frequently-used route. It was the route used by Hillary and Tenzing in 1953.
It is a 65-day Everest Expedition. After final preparations for the Mt. Everest Expedition in Kathmandu, we will fly to Lukla and begin our Tea-house Lodge trek up to Everest base camp. We will establish our base camp at 5300m at the foot of the Khumbu Icefall (Base Camp) before making our way to Camp 01 at 6200m, Camp 02 at 6,600m smacks in the middle of the Western Camp up to the Lhotse face to Camp 03 at 7200m. Finally, we'll head up the South Col to Camp 04 at 8000m before making our Everest summit push. We strive to conduct a safe, successful and enjoyable experience and will do everything possible to achieve each of these goals.

Brief History of the Everest Expedition
Adventurous spirits have always been fascinated by what is also called the Third Pole. Mount Everest was first climbed on May 29, 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal reached the top of the world/ Mount Sagarmatha.
The initial expeditions attempted to climb the peak from the Tibetan side of the North Col because Nepal at the time did not permit Westerners to enter. The 1922 British expedition were the first climbers to go above 8,000 meters on any mountain in the world after the initial attempt only made it to a little over 7,000 meters before retreating. However, seven porters perished on the descent, marking the first of numerous climbing expedition fatalities on the peak.
George Mallory and Andrew Irvine led an expedition in 1924 that attempted to ascend the notorious North Col. On June 8, the two climbers were visible above the group. They were about 800 meters from the summit when terrible weather descended onto the peak and completely engulfed them. 75 years after the incident, Mallory's body was eventually discovered 8,155 meters up the mountain, but Irvine's body has never been located, and it is unclear whether the two ever made it to the top. Nearly 300 individuals have perished on the mountain since that terrible day, many of whose bodies were never found.
Before the next British expedition was dispatched to the summit, nearly thirty years had passed. They chose to ascend by the southeast ridge path, which one of the Sherpa guides had previously used on a Swiss trip to reach an elevation of 8,595 meters. Tenzing Norgay, a now-famous Sherpa guide, and Edmund Hillary, a New Zealand mountaineer, were part of the expedition, which was headed by Colonel John Hunt. The world's tallest mountain was first reached by humanity on May 29, 1953, when Hillary and Norgay made their final push to the top.
Since then, there have been many other notable ascents to Everest's summit. Possibly the most colorful story about the early attempts on Everest is the one involving Captain J. Noel and his native companion. He disguised himself as a Mohammaden and made a journey from Darjeeling through Northwest Sikkim and round the north of Kanchenjunga then try to reach Mount Everest. Unluckily, not even the disguise could see him through. His mission was out short just sixty-five km from Everest when a group of Tibetan soldiers forced them to turn back. Although there are a dozen or so routes on Mt. Everest we follow the classical route, traditionally the most reliable way to the summit. The Climbing Everest expedition has been successfully organized and climbed many times since then, but this should not lull prospective Everest climbers into satisfaction. With several factors playing in, Mount Everest is risky. One cannot approach the mountain with anything but a serious determination and a focused mountaineering attitude. Everest is still as mysterious, beguiling and outstanding as ever.
Everest Summit Overview
Our Everest expedition itinerary is curated with expertise, planning, and strict adherence, allowing for the greatest number of days for the approach, the highest standard of service, and an effective team of guides. The safety of our clients is our top priority when planning our adventures. At base camp and Camp 2, we extend additional oxygen support and comfortable accommodations.
Following Namche Bazar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, Gorekshep, and eventually Everest base camp, we trek along the classic base camp trail. As we prepare for the real climb, we start to initiate preparedness.
At the base camp, ice seracs of the lower Khumbu Glacier, a pre-training session/climbing course will be held to assess climbers' equipment and go over climbing and rescue tactics. There are strategically placed acclimatization days to make sure your body is well adjusted to the increasing altitude.
The rotation of higher camps through the infamous Khumbu icefall signals the start of one of our acclimatization phases. Above the base camp, four camps will be built. Camp1 (5,900m/19,500ft) at the top of the icefall and Camp2 (6,400m/21,000ft), which will serve as our Advanced Base Camp, will be set up. At the top of the cirque on the Lhotse Face, we will erect Camp 3 (7,300m/23,700ft). Before going to the summit, camp 4 (7,900m/25,912ft) will be the last stop. The South Col will be the location of Camp 4.
Your expedition leader will make recommendations based on your circumstances. We often spend the night in Camp 2 and tag the Lhotse Face/Camp 3 as part of our acclimatization regimen. After finishing this, we take some time to recover at base camp while we watch for a weather window to tackle the summit. After Camp 3, an easy ascent will be achieved using oxygen cylinders. We will reach the South summit from Camp 4 by climbing along the south-east ridge. From the South summit, we will proceed toward Hillary Step before the summit.
Everest Acclimatization Camps
As we start climbing higher and higher, we build camps for acclimatization and preparation for the summit. These camps are:
Camp 1: 20000 ft. (6,400 m); Camp 1 is located in a flat area surrounded by deep clefts in the mountains and unending snowfall. The Sun's reflection in this location gives off a warm, cozy atmosphere. The crevasses beneath our tent may be heard making deep cracking noises at night. We must trek through these places to get to camp 2.
Camp 2: Located at the base of the snowy Mount Lhotse wall, Camp 2 lies at a height of 21000 feet (6,750 meters). Even though it's sunny here, dark clouds are rolling down to the base of camp 2 from the low range of the Himalayas. The wind can appear to be so strong at times that it could damage our tents. We reach camp 3 by climbing ahead.
Camp 3: Camp 3 (22300 feet) is close to 8516 meters. We arrive at Camp 4 after using a rope to ascend the 4000-foot Lhotse wall and acclimatizing beforehand. On the way, we must climb the steep permit bands (loss, down-sloping, and rotten limestone). The route now continues up the Geneva Spur to the east before concluding on the flats of the south col after crossing a brief snowfield. (An additional wells name that means Saddle of Pass.) Above base camp 3, oxygen may be required.
Camp 4: Finally, we are at camp 4, the expedition's last camp, which is at a height of 26,000 feet. The summit is only 500 meters away. The climbing's final and most hazardous section is here. At this location, a violent wind blows. The South-East Ridge, which is narrow and comes before South Summits 28710 feet, is typically the best route to use to reach the summit. Following this trail, we arrive at the Everest summit at 29028 feet, which is the same route that Tenzing Norge Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary took in 1953. (8848m). Within a short while, you reach the top of the world.
Everest Expedition Spring Cost
The cost of the Everest Expedition ranges depending on the number of mountaineers in the team. If you are a group of 9 to 14 mountaineers, the cost can go as high as ----------, likewise, for a group of 5 to 8, it goes to be around -------. Similarly, if you are a small group of 2 to 4, the cost is about ----. For a solo mountaineer, the cost can get as high as ----. We would also like to remind you that, you can customize the expedition itinerary and add in more acclimatization days. However, the cost of the package will alter with the changes made to the itinerary.
Mount Everest Expedition Safety
Although more climbers are now attempting it, Everest is becoming safer. With 1,169 summits between 1923 and 1999, 170 individuals perished on Everest or 14.5%. From 2000 to 2021, there were 9,571 summits and 135 deaths, or 1.4 per cent, which represents a sharp drop in the number of fatalities. With 17 fatalities in 2014, 14 in 2015, and 11 in 2019, however, three years distorted the death rates. Improved equipment, weather predictions, and an increase in the number of climbers engaging in commercial operations are the leading reasons for the drop in fatalities.
Spring is the Best Season for Everest Expedition
The weather on Everest is a key consideration while embarking on this adventure. There isn't any other option. Wait till the weather improves if it is not favorable. Always keep an eye on the weather for reports of potential avalanches and strong winds. It is reasonable to state that when it comes to climbing Everest excursions, every season is difficult. Spring is regarded as the best season for the Everest Expedition.
The Spring season incorporates the months of March, April, and May in Nepal. Right after the end of May, the monsoon starts in Nepal and the days get extremely rainy which can make the weather in the Everest region considerably risky. Thus, even during the spring, Everest Expedition is more favorable when you depart by the last week of March or the first week of April so you can accomplish the expedition before the end of May.
The Everest Expedition can also be accomplished during autumn. The autumn months include September, October and November. However, the weather may not be as forgiving as during the spring months. Although the summit is accomplished, it is not as popular as the spring months.
Monsoon (June – August) and winter (December – February) are the toughest months for the Everest Expedition and is rarely accomplished. The weather is the toughest during these seasons and extremely unstable, quite the contrary to the spring season. Thus, the spring months are considered the best season for Everest Expedition.
Everest Expedition in March
March is a stable and pleasant time of year for the weather. When it is daylight, the temperature in the lower region is around 17 degrees. There may be snow left over from the winter in the Everest Region's highest areas. Consequently, anybody choosing to climb Everest this month must deal with snow-related concerns during the ascent. But the snow won't have a big effect on your trip. If you are an experienced climber, you can manage the snow without a problem.
Everest Expedition in April
Enjoy the lovely springtime hues in April. The weather begins to warm up after being icy for a while. You can clearly see the Himalayas as well. In April, the overall weather pattern is unaltered. The magnificent sun will shine down on you and illuminate you brilliantly.
The lower region experiences daily temperatures that vary from 0 to 15 degrees, which is noticeably warmer due to the brighter days. Later the night, the temperature drops to zero. Similar to this, the excursion's highest elevations have constant temperatures that are very close to freezing. You are accustomed to the weather in the mountains during the summit.
Everest Expedition in May
Summer officially begins in May, capping out the spring season. Consequently, the Mountainous region has a hot climate. The lower parts of the Everest Region will be hotter than the rest. There, daily temperature variations range from 15 to 20 degrees. The mountains, however, are still frozen as they always have been and always will be.

It could become exceedingly cold, which might reduce visibility.
The worst bodily symptoms, such as hypothermia, frostbite, thickening of the blood, fractured bones, exposure, etc., will be present in addition to natural calamities. For this reason, only experienced alpinists are permitted to attempt this task, according to rigorous rules.
Difficult during the Everest Spring Expedition
The expedition is rated to be a challenging one. Death Zone, located 8000 meters above sea level, is when the Mount Everest Expedition's hardship begins. Because of the intense heat and thin air, the body loses energy. Even seasoned climbers can endure heart attacks, sluggish judgment, or other challenges. In light of this, one should use greater caution when traveling near Mount Everest. One must practice using climbing tools such as fixed ropes, crampons, ascenders, karabiners, and jumar to test the extreme level of difficulty. They must practice adjusting to low temperatures and low oxygen levels as well.
You should have at least some prior climbing experience before undertaking the Everest expedition. In addition to this, you must have unwavering resolve if you want to reach the summit successfully. Then, and only then, can you accomplish this quest? Additionally, this expedition is unsuitable for the frail. You should also possess the exceptional skill to complete this expedition. You should be emotionally and physically tough. Similar to this, you need to have complete physical fitness before embarking on the adventure to effectively conquer all of Mount Everest's challenges.
