Overview

INTRODUCTION  :: 

Mount Everest, also known as Mount Chomolungma ( in tibetan language)  or Sagarmatha ( in nepali language ), is the world's highest mountain above the mean sea level at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft). It is located in the Himalayas on the Nepal (Sagarmatha Zone)-China (Tibet) border.

During 1856 AD after the first survey completed by a great trigonometric team from England in British India, they established the first published height of Everest and the peak was known as Peak XV, at an altitude of 29,002 ft (8,840 m). Ten years later, in 1865AD, this tallest snow peak in the world was named as Mt Everest after the name of Sir George Everest who was the chief of the British Surveyor General of India.

Since this snow peak is located in the Himalayan border of Tibet & Nepal, “Chomolungma” had been in common use by Tibetans for centuries, and “Sagarmatha” had been the local appellation in Nepali language.  The British surveyor team then was unable to establish the local names to this peak because both Nepal & Tibet were closed to the foreigners.

The famous peak of Mt Everest was first successfully scaled by Sir Edmund Hillary on 29th May 1953 along with his Sherpa assistant Tenzing Norgay.  By the end of the 2008 climbing season, there had been 4,102 ascents to the summit by about 2,700 individuals.

JOURNEY DETAIL  :
Your  expedition begins when you land at the International airport in Kathmandu, Nepal. You will be welcomed & received by us. Be transferred to your pre-booked hotel. The following two more days will be used for the preparation of the expedition. There will be the briefing program on the expedition in the Ministry of Tourism in Kathmandu.

Also, there will be an introductory program for the climbers with the liaison officer & all other members of our Nepalese crew who will be accompanying and supporting you during the entire period of expedition.

On the fourth day of your arrival – you will take the flight to Lukla, the gateway to the Everest Base Camp. 

The rest of the program for the expedition would be as in the given itinerary below.

HIGH CAMPS ABOVE THE BASE CAMP

Camp - 1    [ at 20000ft. (6,400m) ]
This camp 1 is situated at the flat area of endless snow, deep crevasses and mountain walls. Because of the Sun's reflection from this place we get warm and hitting ambience at this place. In the night we listen the deep murmuring cracking sounds of crevasses beneath our tent. These are the areas through which we have to walk to reach camp 2.

Camp – 2  [ at  21,000 ft. (6,750m )
This camp 2 is situated at the height of the 21000ft, which is located at the foot of the icy mount Lhotse wall through where we have to go ahead. The weather here is good but bad clouds roll in from the low range of the Himalayan valleys to the bottom of our camp two. But wind here some times seems very violent enough to destroy our tents. After climbing these places we reach camp 3.

Camp – 3  [ at  22,300 ft. (7,100m)]
Camp 3 is located at the height of 22300ft, adjoining to mount Lhotse wall. After climbing the 4000ft. on the  Lhotse wall by using fixed rope and with prior acclimatization it leads us to camp 4. Also on the way we have to ascend the steep allow bands (lose, down -slopping and rotten limestone). From there after  crossing a  short snowfield , the route moves ahead up the Geneva Spur to the east before finishing the flats of the south col. (Another well known name is “Saddle of pass”). Oxygen should probably be used  above base camp 3 incase of needed to the climbers.

Camp - 4.  [ at  26,000 ft. ( 8,400m) ]
Now we are at camp 4 which is located at the  height of  26000ft; it is the last camp of the Expedition. From here summit is up ahead about 500m only. This is the final and dangerous part of the climbing. This place is besieged by ferocious and violent winds. The normal best way to reach to summit is via the narrow South -East Ridge and it precedes the South Summits 28,710 ft.From here the way is easy to reach at the summit of the Everest 29,028 ft . The first climbers to the Mt. Everest late Sir Edmond Hillary and Tenzing Norge Sherpa used this route in 1953.
