Overview
The Mount Everest expedition itinerary covers the highlights of the Everest massif including the other tallest Mountains on Earth. Mount Everest, located in the Mahalangur range of Nepal’s Solukhumbu District, stands on the Nepal-Tibet border and presents a formidable climbing challenge due to its unpredictable conditions.
Climbing the Everest is as iconic as embarking on a Mount Everest expedition in the Nepalese Himalayas. Summit provides the breathtaking views of Everest (8,850m) itself, along with several of the world’s tallest peaks, including Mt. Lhotse. Additionally, the expedition team is rewarded with stunning vistas of Nuptse (7,879m), Lhotse Shar (8,383m), Makalu (8,475m), Baruntse (7,720m), Pumori (7,161m), and Cho-Oyu (8,188m), among others.
Journey to Everest’s summit is a historic and awe-inspiring endeavor. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa were the first to conquer this majestic peak. On May 29, 1953, at 11:30 am, Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Nepali Sherpa, became the first climbers in history to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Standing at 29,035 feet above sea level, Everest remains the highest point on Earth.
Mount Everest remains the most sought-after expedition on the planet. While partially equipped with fixed ropes, the ascent demands the expertise of professional climbers who are prepared to tackle its formidable obstacles.
