Mount Everest expedition is the lifetime experience of stepping foot on the tallest mountain in the world. Many people from around the world climb Everest to achieve an extraordinary goal or mission by also scripting their name with golden writings in the historical record in a book.

  • Camp I: It lies at an altitude of 6,065 meters (19,900 feet). For reaching camp I, you will be using garden step-ladders in order to cross deep crevasses in the Khumbu icefall, and once you go through and survive the treacherous terrain land, you will reach camp I. You will get essential relief at camp I, and once you are ready, you will ascend more towards camp II.
  • Camp II: It lies at an altitude of 6,500 meters (21,300 feet) above sea level. The temperature of camp II is much higher and there is a chance of higher snow and snow bridges stretching across 60 meters (100 feet).
  • Camp III: It lies at an altitude of 7,470 meters (24,500 feet) above sea level. You will be heading from camp II to camp II with the help of gradual ascends and fixed-rope climbs on the ridges. You might find a crowd of climbers in this area and the route can be hassle-some. Similarly, there is a high chance of avalanches in this area.
  • Camp IV: It lies at an altitude of 7,920 meters (26,000 feet). On the trail, you will cross the points - "Yellow Band" and "Geneva Spur", which are the energy-draining barricades between camp III and camp IV. After conquering these two points, you will be needing to take hold of oxygen cylinders/ oxygen bottles, for further continuing the expedition.
  • South Summit: It lies at an altitude of 8690 meters (28,500 feet). From camp IV, you will climb through different steep sections covering a distance of around 1.5 kilometers, and reach the south summit.
  • Mount Everest Summit: Mount Everest summit is around 1.5 kilometers away from the south summit and will take around 12 hours (maximum) to complete the distance. On the way, you will walk through the "Balcony", intercept the "Hillary Step" and "Summit Ridge", and finally reach the top of Everest at an altitude of 8848.86 meters.

                                              • Personal belongings: Inflatable sleeping bag, 40F down sleeping bag, -20F down sleeping bag, small pack, 55-liter climbing pack, water bottle, pee bottle, mug, foam pad, bowl, spoon, knife, camera, thermos, large duffel bag, trash compactor bag, water purification tools, toiletry bag, sunscreen and lip balm (cream), hand and feet warmer, personal first aid kit, food (light snacks), base camp comforts (like music, board games, cards, etc.), prescriptions and medication.
                                            • Following are the factors behind unsuccessful Mount Everest 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. If not, 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 the trek led to unsuccessful climbing.
                                              • 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 senses still.
                                              • Lack of oxygen (altitude sickness)
                                              • Health problems: People having health problems like vertigo, asthma, heart diseases, and other serious illness should not try this trek.
                                            • For Mount Everest Expedition, it is recommended to have a smaller group as far as possible. The requirement specifies a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 8 people. For this trekking journey, minimum group member leads to greater experience. It is best for you to manage your own group with people of similar ideology, or you can also consult with a trekking company to manage a team and the whole journey. Well-experienced, linguistic, and cherishing guides and porters will be provided to you to aid you to procure as much information as you desire.

                                            • Mount Everest can be expedited from both the Nepal side and the Tibet side. For expediting the world's highest peak, the following permits are needed.

                                              • Mount Everest expedition from Nepal: TIMS card (Trekkers' Information Management System) and Sagarmatha National Park Permit (SNPP).
                                              • Mount Everest expedition from Tibet: Tibet Travel Permit, Aliens' Travel Permit, and Frontier Pass.
                                            • Nepal encompasses four major seasons. They are autumn, winter, spring, and summer. Here is the weather condition in the Everest region according to different seasons, from which you can choose the favorable one and plan for the trip:

                                              • Autumn: September, October, and November: In this season, the sun remains brighter, the sky remains clearer, and the views occur pristinely. It is the best time for the Mount Everest expedition.
                                              • Winter: December, January, and February: In this season, there will be heavy rainfall and the weather remains colder. It is not much recommended time for the Mount Everest expedition.
                                              • Spring: March, April, and May: In this season, the climate remains warmer but frequent snowfalls and storms may occur at higher altitudes. But that does not hold substantial tribulations. It is the second-best time for the Mount Everest expedition.
                                              • Monsoon (summer): June, July, and August: In this season, there will be heavy storms and monsoon rainfall. This is not much favorable time for Mount Everest trekking, as the path remains slippery and constructive for unlike bugs.
                                            • The height of Mount Everest is 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet).

                                            • For Mount Everest Expedition, we take the south route i.e. from the Nepal side. This journey costumes more for those who have experience of climbing the mountains/peaks more than or equivalent to 7,000 meters. The actual summit expedition starts from the base camp (5,364 meters), to reach which will take around 10 days.

                                              From base camp, we move towards Camp I (6,065 meters) where we will observe Khumbu Glacier. Around 450 meters away with a gradual slope from Camp I, we reach Camp II (6,500 meters). Again with 610 meters walk, we reach Camp III (7,200 meters) Camp III is situated at the top of Lhotse. From this point onward, there will be a need for oxygen cylinders. Moving further, we will reach Camp IV (7,910 meters), crossing 8,000 meters. This spot is also identified as the Death Zone.

                                              So, for an incredible mountain experience and to get in touch with the path followed by legendary Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norge Sherpa, the Everest expedition from the south side can be the better choice.

                                            • Climbing the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest is unlike climbing simple staircases. The experience can range from tough to toughest. Amid expedition, one can experience freezing cold, numbness of feet and hands, frozen icefalls and waterfalls, altitude sickness, ear problems, hunger, sleep deficiency, eyes swelling, and blindness, slippery pathway, avalanches and rocks strolling over oneself, ice-flood, vast weather, and so on. Undergoing all these difficulties will of course style the Mount Everest expedition harder.

                                            • You should perform the following activities in order to become trekking perfect for the Mount Everest expedition.

                                              • Apply to mountaineering institutes and clear your training courses with excellent remarks
                                              • Prepare hard and get involved in hikes, wall climbing, physical boosting and training, rock climbing, and knot practices
                                              • Improve the weak points, never give up, and don’t show over-confidence about your strength and stability
                                              • Acquire cameras for photos and videos
                                              • Estimate the costs and pick a trekking company wisely for all the summiting procedures
                                              • Reserve a seat for the journey, keep calm, and move with no rush
                                            • Well, no. It is not allowed to take a helicopter to such a massive height of 8,848.86 meters. But, you can have a helicopter ride to the base camp of Everest and have a panoramic view of Everest. A direct helicopter ride to the Everest summit is not permissible because of the need for the proper acclimatization for this journey in lower altitudes.

                                              Memorable experience on Mount Everest

                                              The journey to the world's highest mountain was the best 60 days of my life. I was on Everest with the best trekking teams at the  perfect destination. I had an excellent cooperation with the Nepal Trek Adventure and Expedition team. They were so quick to reply and reliable. At a really reasonable price, the NTA provided an exceptional package. This trek was so challenging and satisfying that I recommended both their expedition and the company to all my friends and  family for their comfort. The path to the summit was surrounded with many high mountains and greenery. Although it was hard enough, we experienced many amazings things during the trek. Everything was perfect and thanks to NTA for this memorable experience on Mount Everest.

                                              Mount 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.
