Simply climbing a wall is a difficult and scary task itself, so we can assume how difficult it is the level to stand as close to the sun by the summiting highest peak of the world, Mount Everest (8848 M). The dream to reach the summit by expedition has become the most challengeable activity. Many people from around the world climb Everest achieving a new goal or mission also for scripting their name with golden writings in the historical record in a book. You always want to become a role model and set a good example for others, it is one of the best and great opportunities to be the one. Mount Everest is known as Sagarmatha in Nepal which is the highest peak in the world with a height of 8848m. It offers the most adventurous and dangerous trek in the world.
Almost every person on this planet has the dream to stand on the top of the world. Mount Everest was the first ascent in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and Late Tenzing Norge Sherpa but it is still one of the most adventurous mountaineering in the world. Every year around 10,000 people attempt to climb the Mt. Everest but only a few of them get success. Only those people will get success who have high dedication and determination to reach the top. Physical fitness and experiences are the factors that will be helpful during Everest climbing.
Fitness can be boosted with endurance training and meditation. Taking part in hiking, cycling, yoga and regular fitness exercises are also key to achieving it. Pre-trekking descriptions and motivation sessions will also aid in supporting overall well-being.
Mount Everest is the English name of this highest mountain of the world (baptized after Sir George Everest), and hence is known as “Chomolungma” in the Tibetan language, and “Sagarmatha” in Nepal language. Chomolungma means “Mother of the Universe”. Likewise, Sagarmatha is comprised of two words “Sagar” and “Matha”, which means “Forehead of the Sky”. It shows that expediting Mount Everest takes one closer to the sky and the universe.
Mount Everest Expedition is the greatest opportunity of reaching the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. Stepping there on the peak of the world and waving flags with proud is the cherry on top for all kinds of trekkers in the world. Mount Everest (8,848 meters) can be expedited from both Nepal (South Side) and Tibet (North Side). It takes 60 days to reach Everest crest from Kathmandu within the Nepal side, and around 54 days to reach Mount Everest Top from Kathmandu within the Tibet side.
Everest Summit from Nepal and Tibet Side
Mt. Everest can be climbed from both northern side Tibet and southern side Nepal but the Northern side is closed by China so, the southern side is the only way to climb Everest. These two routes lead to the two different base camps on Everest. All the climbers assemble here in these base camps before starting for acclimatization and ending time of their climbing. During this trek, there can be many obstacles including harsh weather, altitude sickness, sheer exhaustion, and avalanches. It would be better to carry your own internet or satellite phone and other modern equipment.

Essential things to know before you climb the Mount Everest
Take knowledge about possible health problems that may occur during the expedition. The major problem that may occur is altitude sickness.
1. Fitness Training
Fitness training is the most while trekking to the Everest. Approximately, 3 months of intensive fitness training and hitting the gym 5 to 6 times a week for cardio and resistance classes will build up your lung capacity and increase strength in your legs. The heaps of squats, lunges, and stair climbing or hiking once a week will also assist a lot for your physical motivation. It will assist in making you both physically and mentally active so that you will be able to understand and act on any climate, environment and occurring situations effectively. All these will automatically decrease the chance of fear and risks that occur during the trek
2. Hydration
75% of our body is made up of water and only 25% is made with other elements. It plays a vital role in our lives for making it a long-term run. Similarly, water is a divine element of the trek. You should focus on drinking 3 to 4 liters of water and must drink it as much as possible. It will make more sweat flow away, which will also assist in coping with different problems like AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness), altitude headaches, etc. It will also help in maintaining the sugar level in the body.
3. Climbing Gears - Clothes and Shoes
No matter what the season is, whether it is winter or summer, it will always be cold on the mountain site. So, it is mandatory to carry warm clothes (like thermals) and other waterproof clothes (including socks) to make your body safe and comfortable. Right shoes should be chosen because the walking is done for up to 10 hours a day and the wrong choice will damage your legs. The typical recommendation is proper, waterproof and one size bigger hiking boots which should be started wearing 6 months before going there. Being sun smart by carrying decent sunglasses, hats and buffs will add more to your trek.
4. Environment and Food during the Everest Expedition
The environment around is so much adorable and the people are much more obliging and cheerful who will make both your time and trek satisfying and worthy. So, gratitude should be taken as a major attitude. The vegetarian food is recommended during the trek, as there is a chance of being ill eating meat items (as they are likely to have been left unrefrigerated for days). The items like vegetarian momos (Nepalese Dumplings), Dal baht and fried Mars bars are the mains that provide countless help during the climb. The sugar/energy level also may go down, so lots of snacks like nuts, chocolates, chips, muesli bars should be packed, eating which keep your energy and spirit up.
5. Taking the risk and Rush
The much-conserved type of people should avoid that trek because they are likely to be demotivated in the context of taking the risk. So, taking a risk should be done in order to enjoy the beauty of nature and Himalayas. Rush during the trek can be hazardous i.e. the time should be utilized and managed properly so that all the activities would be done in a fixed period of time.
6. The Habit of taking Knowledge
It is very important to take information as much as possible before we go somewhere, which is to be done in the same way before climbing the summit. We can read different blogs, reviews, and other articles. The back to back meetings with the climbers will also help you know about the place in the more detailed form. Taking advice from them about what to do and what not to do will also be beneficial.
7. Previous Climbing Experience Needed
Experience is earned by the trial and practice. So, for trekking, it is likely to have some of the experiences which will lead towards the bright and joyous trek. For this, the trekking experience is demanded a lot as it will be very difficult to trek directly to the Everest summit. Some of the recommended treks are Annapurna Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Everest Base Camp Trek, and Gokyo Valley Trekking. The people with short hiking and trekking experience and habit can also take some of the fitness training and join the expedition of reaching high on the top and gain a lifetime experience.
8. Full Cost and Everest Expedition Itinerary
All details about costs and full itineraries should be studied properly. The blunder like cutting off the days from itineraries should not be done because it is likely to generate a problem during the trek, which might harshly affect the health condition as well. In the end, staying at home won’t show you the world. You have to come out of your comfort zone to see the unexpected and glorifying beauty along with mesmerizing services and hospitality. So, let’s explore the beauty of Nepal with Nepal Trek Adventure & Expedition and be the part of the pleasing and comfortable trek to Everest.

Belarus Published: Tuesday, March 13, 2018Mount Everest Expedition with NTA
‘Summiting the highest mountain in the world’, this sentence itself is filled with a lot of proud and satisfaction. Truly, the experiment was way beyond imagination. Taking over the company we chose, Nepal Trek Adventure was the one, with amazing members running it. Their years of experience in trekking, expedition, and tour was the key to our successful venture. Everything organized was perfect. No complaints about those, and of course no regrets about choosing this agency. Coming to the trail, stroll-over, rope-walks, and camping accommodation, all were new to me but were good to cherish about, for the rest of my life. I had done some training preliminarily, which supported a lot. Yeah, remembering the difficult part, when we crossed the camp II, my problem started. First, my feet slipped and got a minor twist. Guide Shiva solved it all but was paining for some time. Second, that small ice-fall which freaked me out. Ugh! I was like returning back to base camp. Despite all, the expedition went on. I will never forget that dreadful descends, and of course those rope and carabineer walk, and snow-march. Most obliged to NTA and guide Shiva for such a great time with us in such a Himalayan landscape.

Colombia Published: Monday, April 10, 2017Amazing lifetime experience on Mount Everest
The greatest 60 days of my existence in the journey towards the highest mountain in the world is the best experience. I was with the best clutch and the best trekking trail and destination on the planet. I had an excellent involvement in Nepal Trek Adventure & Expedition Team. Their administrations were so quick and dependable. I at long last found a reliable organization in Nepal whom I can depend on for any visit in the country. In a truly sensible value, NTA gave extraordinary help with no issues. The trek was so testing and fulfilling that I previously prescribe this to the entirety of my companions and I additionally suggest Nepal Trek Adventures for their solace. The excellent ways loaded up with the perspectives around us were encompassed by the high heaps and greenery of Nepal. Although it was tough enough, we could experience anything to have such an astonishing encounter. Everything went perfect and cheers to Nepal Trek.

- Do not rush, hence, be calm during the trek

- Follow trekking rules and regulations for a successful trek
- Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages as much as possible but for some alcohol habitual trekkers, couple of pegs is acceptable to keep sense still

Factors affecting behind unsuccessful expedition or climbing
Homesick: We love our family the most. It’s hard to be apart from family for a long time. But making the family members our weakness is the ‘must avoid’ mantra for the trek like this. People involved in this condition will not be able to complete the venture properly.
Negligence: Towards rules and regulations: Not following all the rules and regulations provided by leaders, guides, and locals before and during trek lead towards unsuccessful trek.
No previous experience: Trekking for 10 hours a day (approximately) is not a cup of tea. This trek is hard to accomplish even for experienced people because of the high chances of occurrence of unpredicted and unexpected events.
Drinks: Drinking alcohol-containing beverages should be avoided as much as possible. But for some alcohol habitual trekkers, it is recommended to take only a couple of pegs in order to keep our sense still.
Lack of oxygen (altitude sickness)
Health problems: The people having a health problem like vertigo, asthma should not try this trek.
