Everest Expedition

Mt. Everest (8848m), the mountain that sets the yardstick of climbing achievement, lies on the border between Nepal and Tibet. The height of which a successful climber can brag of, also assures life’s most rewarding experience. For this reason, the mountain attracts mountaineers all over the world and as a result, receives around 1000 summit attempts every year. The first successful attempt, however, was made on May 29, 1953 by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary. It is the most popular expedition not just in the Everest region of Nepal, but around the world.

Well, who does not dream to stand on the highest point on earth?

Mt. Everest Expedition is the ultimate mountaineering adventure that allows adventure enthusiasts to conquer the summit. Nevertheless, with adventure and experience, it also presents you one of the greatest physical and mental challenges, as Everest lives up to its fearful reputation, if the conditions decide to become unsympathetic to you. Therefore, it’s best not to underestimate the altitude and the technical difficulty.

The Expedition: Mt. Everest can be climbed from the south via the Khumbu Valley in Nepal as well as from the north via Tibet. Amigo Treks and Expedition offers guided expedition via the South Col. As per the itinerary, total 65 days are required to successfully complete the expedition, out of which 46 days are set aside to climb the mountain. 9 days are required to trek up to the Everest Base Camp (including 2 acclimatization day). 4 high camps are set above the base camp. Starting base camp, we have to cross crevasses, seracs and huge ice chunks with the help of fixed ropes and aluminium ladders to climb to camp one- a flat area of endless snow, deep crevasses and mountain wall. Having past the crevasses and seracs  through the silent valley, the trail leads us to a rocky patch at the height of about 6400m, at the foot of icy mount Lhotse wall, where we set our second high camp. The walk from camp 2 is initially flat, up till the wall. The icy incline begins from the wall. The trail then passes through the ice bumps, and steep ice before reaching camp 3. After camp 3, we will travel across the wall towards the Yellow Band and the Black Turtle- rocky section of the wall. The climb continues until the foot of the last wall to camp 4 that sits on a plateau resembling a moonscape (inside the Deathzone). From camp 4 we finally attempt the summit via the southeast ridge. It is the most dangerous part of climbing as the place is besieged by violent winds. After achieving the summit, we climb down the same route.
