Overview:
To stand atop Everest is a dream for every alpinist. That’s understandable, as it is the highest point on earth at the altitude of 8848 m (29029 ft). Everest has attracted mountaineers from all over the world for decades and continues to do so. It’s glorifying history, and the alluring natural appeal is what makes these climbers dream so big, bigger than Everest itself.After the first ascent in 1953, Everest was opened for mountaineers to climb. Out of the several attempts to climb the peak, some made it while some of the top mountaineers couldn’t.
Several expeditions turned into disasters, while some made history. Even after all these years, Everest stands tall and lures mountaineers with its beauty. If you’re one of those mountaineers, join us on our Everest expedition . You can prepare yourself to immerse yourself in the local culture and experience an adventure while being in safe hands. We believe expeditions are much more than climbing; hence, we have tailored a perfect package where you can explore more of Nepal and its culture with comfort.
The expedition is 55 days long, with frequent climbing exercises across 4 camps and a basecamp at different altitudes:
Camp I (6000 m/20000 ft): Your camp is set up at a flat area of mountain walls where there’s a perfect reflection of sunlight that heats up the ambiance.
Camp II (6400 m/21000 ft): Camp II is set up at the foot of the Lhotse wall at an altitude of 21000 ft. At times, the wind here can be very strong and is powerful enough to destroy our tents. Otherwise, the weather is good. We will have a fixed full camping setup with a kitchen, dining tents, and kitchen crews.
Camp III (7100 m/23294 ft): This camp is set up adjoining the Mount Lhotse wall. You will notice the decreased presence of oxygen on reaching Camp III. You can choose to use oxygen cylinders in case you need one.
Camp IV (8000 m/26300 ft): This is the final camp set up about 848 m below the summit. Here the wind is ferocious. This is the final, dangerous, and challenging part of the expedition.
Short History of the Everest Expedition:
Several attempts were made, starting with Britishers in the 1920s, to scale Everest. However, it was only in 1953 that Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa scaled Everest for the first time using the southeast ridge. Prior to that, multiple unsuccessful attempts were made from the northside. There are two main routes leading to the summit of Everest. One is the standard route from southeast Nepal, while the other is from the north in Tibet.
Technically, Everest climbing is not that tough; however, other challenges like weather and wind, altitude sickness, and unpredictable avalanches make it a challenging experience. You need experience and expertise in mountaineering to scale Everest. If you have some previous experience of climbing and a strong willingness, you can join us on this journey with experts who have years of experience of extreme altitude mountaineering.

When is the best time to climb Mount Everest?
Although some seasoned climbers argue that there’s always time to go climbing, the best time to go is between April and June, when the “climbing window” opens. Now is the ideal moment to try a peak ascent. Since nature is waking up at this time, the hike to Base Camp may be highly interesting when taking the biodiversity of flora into account.
However, some clouds may emerge in May, which is supposed to be the warmest month in the area, depriving you of breathtaking views. Actually, it’s nearly hard to forecast the weather, but if you detest the cold, May is a great month to visit.
Requirements for Joining the Everest Expedition:
You must have extensive mountaineering expertise in order to participate in our Everest Expedition 2025 in Nepal. This covers summit ascents of 6000 and 7000 meters. Naturally, exposure to some of the Himalayan 8000-meter peaks would be ideal. Crampon handling proficiency on steep ice and snow slopes is crucial. To reach a safe summit, we use the conventional route via South Col.
Training at Basecamp:
The crew will be under the competent guidance of a UIAGM (International Union of Alpine Guide Associations) certified guide at Everest Base Camp, who will lead an extensive training session covering the fundamental skills needed for the ascent. Lessons on ice wall climbing, ladder crossing, and other skills necessary for the ascent will be covered in this session. The team will have the chance to put these abilities into practice in a safe setting with the assistance of seasoned experts during the training sessions.
The group will receive instruction on the safest methods for scaling snow-covered slopes and steep ice, as well as how to utilize tools like crampons and ice axes. The crew will benefit from the ladder crossing training by becoming more accustomed to the fixed ropes and ladders that will be utilized to traverse challenging mountainous areas.
Although the training sessions will be rigorous, they are also intended to be enjoyable and stimulating, fostering team unity and boosting self-assurance. In addition, the UIAGM guide will address any queries the team may have and offer insightful counsel and pointers to aid in their climb preparation. All things considered, the training sessions will be a crucial component of the team’s summit preparation and will support their success and safety on the mountain.
Acclimatization at Lobuche:
Following their training in EBC, the team will make their way to the top of Lobuche Peak, which is 6,119 meters high. The team’s trek to the top of Lobuche Peak (6119 m) serves as a crucial acclimatization phase leading up to the ultimate ascent of Mount Everest.
The crew will be able to put their physical and mental prowess to the test and obtain invaluable experience negotiating high-altitude terrain throughout the ascent. The team uses the ascent of Lobuche Peak climbing as an opportunity to get to know their Sherpa guides, who are vital to their success and safety on the mountain. After the summit, the team descends back to Everest base camp. The team will stay at the Everest Base Camp for several days to prepare for the ascent in addition to acclimatization. The crew will have the chance to get to know every member of their Sherpa team, including the lead guide, ass;istant guides, and support personnel, while they are at base camp. Building trust and friendship among the team members through this significant bonding event will be vital during the climb.
