Everest, reaching a staggering 8848m, remember you’re in the hands of the most experienced team. The South face belongs to Nepal, the North face to China’s Tibet – a geopolitical distinction for the world’s highest peak.

The history of Everest unfolds with British Surveyor Sir George Everest in 1856, measuring it during the Great Trigonometric Survey. Controversial even then, the peak was named in his honor. Closed to foreigners, Tibet and Nepal kept local names hidden. Climbing attempts began in the 1920s, met with disasters until success in 1953 from the South side – the very route of your expedition.

Retrace those historic steps, carve your mark in Everest’s legacy. With us as your support crew, reaching the top of the world is not just a dream; it’s your reality. Join this unparalleled journey and make history atop the highest peak on Earth.

Different Camps during your Everest Expedition trip

There are 4 camps during your everest expedition. Each camps are calculated accordingly with the altitude and location so that your trip to everest expedition would be enhanced. The camps listed below are described as follows:

Camp 1: 20,000ft (6,060m)

Camp 1 unfolds in a flat expanse amidst endless snow, deep crevasses, and towering mountain walls. The Sun’s reflection bathes the area in warmth, creating a comforting ambiance. As night falls, the deep murmurs and cracks of crevasses beneath our tents echo, setting the stage for the journey to Camp 2.

Camp 2: 21,300ft (6,400m)

Nestled at 21,000ft, Camp 2 lies at the base of the icy Lhotse wall. While the weather here can be favorable, unpredictable clouds from the Himalayan valleys can pose a challenge. Winds, at times violent, threaten our tents. Climbing onward, we conquer these challenges to reach the gateway to Camp 3.
