8000 m. expedition

Mt. EVEREST South Ridge (8,848m / 29,028ft.) Expedition

To climb the highest mountain in the world is the dream of virtually every mountaineer. Everest embodies the very symbol of achievement and will always be the mountain to climb and we provide professionally led strong team of Sherpas to make the expedition a grand success.

Mt. Everest also known as Sagarmatha in Nepal and Quomolungma - "The Mother Goddess of Earth" in Tibetan rises to 8,848 m. (29,028 feet). Since the late 19th century, adventurous spirits have been fascinated with the ascent of the highest mountain in the world. After 29 years of numerous attempts, Sir Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa became the first people to stand on the elusive summit on May 29,1953. These courageous climbers ascended through to the South Col from the Khumbu Glacier and continued their ascent to the summit via the Southeast ridge. Their route is now referred to as the Normal route and will be also the route that we use every year in the pre-monsoon season. This route also offers the greatest chance of success.
