Experienced Required for Everest Expedition:

Each member of the expedition must have high degree of physical fitness and mental preparation with appropriate climbing training or mountain climbing such as  covering climbing techniques, glacier travel, rope fixing, ascending, descending, safety techniques, abseiling, belaying, use of oxygen, mask and regulator as well as proper understanding of mountaineering skills etc before heading to higher elevation.

Climber should have proficiency of at least 6,000 meters, mixed with a multitude of Alpine mountaineering or alternatively have taken part in a previous 8,000 meters expedition. Our statistics indicates, those who have been to 7000 to 8,000 meters peak previously have a significant   chance of getting to the top of Everest.  We would strongly advise you to climb one of the other 7000 or 8,000 meters peaks before heading to Everest, as to ensure your financial investment as well as successful ascent and a safe return home. Exceptionally, however, climbers who have not had the chance of climbing 7000 to 8,000 meters peak may consider Everest if they have an adequate depth of experience.

Everest expedition is not “guided” because this is not a realistic proposition in the high-altitude realm of 8,000 meters and above. “Guiding” and being “guided” implies the intimate supervision and care of a “client” by a “Guide” who can be responsible for the direct and immediate control of safety. On Everest, such a direct duty-of-care, implicit in the traditional guide-client relationship, is not possible.

Camp 1: 20000ft. (6,400m)

This camp 1 is situated at the height of 6,400m on plane surface  with a safer mountain walls on other side. This area is warmer as it is exposed to sunlight during daytime whereas at night grumbling cracking resonate of crevasses beneath our tent can be listened.  After trespassing Camp 1 we arrive at Camp 2.

Camp 2. 21000ft. (6,750m)

This camp 2 is lies at the toe of Mount Lhotse at the height of 6,750 m. Weather at camp 2 is generally good but sometimes is violent as rolling winds breaches it. Leaving Camp 2 we elevate to Camp 3. After climbing these palaces we reach camp 3.

Camp 3. 22300ft. (7,100m)

Camp 3 is located at the bordering wall of Mount Lhotse height of 7,100m. We use fixed rope, crampons, ice axe with leash and ladder along south Col to reach at Camp 4. Climbers are instructed to use oxygen if necessary. We leave Camp 3 and ascend to camp 4.

Camp 4. 26000ft. (8,400m)

Camp 4 is the last camp in our expedition as summit is about 500m from here. Camp 4 is at 8,400m as well as is dangerous part of climbing as severe weather, rolling wind as well as sheer exhaustion are the probable cases. Late Sir Edmond Hillary and l Tenzing Norge Sherpa used this route for the successful summit to Everest Expedition via south in 1953.
