Mount Everest Expedition is the ultimate dream of all climbing enthusiasts and mountaineers all around the world. Mount Everest, with an altitude of 8,848 meters, being the highest mountain in the world, attracts climbers seeking to summit the highest point in the world. Every year many climbers try to summit Mount Everest; some manage to overcome the risk and challenges, make it up to the summit, and return successfully. Whereas, unfortunately, some cannot withstand the harsh weather conditions and other challenges and can’t make it to the summit.
Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa were the first to ascent Everest in 1953. They summited through the South Col route, which is on the Nepal side, and this route is considered the standard route. Since then, the South Col Route is the most common path to summit Everest. Everest Expedition demands immense preparation, excellent physique, mental preparedness, discipline, and experience. It is going to test your physical strength as well as mental resilience.
Everest Expedition takes around 60-70 days with trekking that starts from Lukla. You take a scenic and adventurous flight from Kathmandu to Lukla.
