Trip overview
The Mount Everest Expedition is one of the world’s most challenging physical and mental undertakings. Joining the ascent of Mount Everest gives you a tremendous sense of pride and lets you feel like the most daring person on earth. On May 29, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first to successfully summit Everest and became the world’s greatest adventure climbing heroes. Since then, several people have successfully led and ascended Mount Everest. Without any doubt, Climbing Everest is the greatest challenge.
Climbing Strategy for Mt. Everest Expedition
We established a permanent expedition base camp for the duration of the climb. Every member of the climbing crew has their own tent, as well as kitchen and storage tents. There we provide a large dining hall with chairs and tables that is carpeted, heated, and lit by solar electricity to make your stay comfortable. The camp is set with internet facilities also. We offer a shower tent and a toilet tent, both of which are kept clean. At base camp, we have an experienced expedition cook to prepare delicious meals and a team manager to handle all the logistics for a successful expedition.
On our acclimatization hike to Camps 2 and 3, we climbed the Khumbu Icefall several times. We went back to base camp to rest and recover before attempting the summit. After receiving confirmation of a positive weather forecast, we proceed to ABC, then CAMP 1, CAMP 2, CAMP 3, CAMP 4, and finally, the SUMMIT. Our professional Sherpas finish their preparations by ensuring that all high camps have enough tents, food, and oxygen for the summit push. All of the higher camps have tents. There will be a one-to-one climbing Sherpa ratio to ensure that every climber receives complete support to reach the summit and safely return to base camp.
A Guide to Climbing, Safety, Communication, and Weather
Our Climbing Sherpa crew is one of the best since they have extensive expertise in delivering the best high-altitude climbing support. They are unrivaled, evidenced by their track record of many successful Everest summits. All of our Mount Everest climbing sherpas have considerable outdoor medical training and can deal with common medical conditions. As a safety backup, we have oxygen, extensive medical supplies, and a Gamow bag. We also encourage all climbers to bring their personal micro-medical kits. All Everest excursions require good weather to ensure the safety of our climbers and support team. For the entire climbing, we have managed a professional and reliable weather forecast service, which provides continuous information and updates until the final summit.
