World highest Mountain, The Everest with the height of 8.850m / 29,028ft tall and 5 1/2 miles above mean sea level lies in Nepal and was first climbed by the brave Sherpa “Tenzing Norgey and Sir Edmond Hillary an New Zealander in may 29 1959. The local Sherpa named it as Chomolongma and Nepalese named as Sagarmath and Everest in English. Everest marks the boarder between Nepal and Tibet (China). Climbing Everest is an experience like no other. Everest changes people’s life. New amity new lessons, new perception on life. You learn a great deal about yourself. It is an extraordinary journey of discovery. It's been said that "the man who has been to the mountains is never the same again”. Our Expedition begins landing at Nepal’s Capital Kathmandu. We enter and exit Zhangmu Tibetan (China) City after crossing friendship boarder between china and Nepal which is also known as old Silk Road. This expedition provides a tremendous opportunity to sample the delights of Tibet, Nepal, and the Himalaya. The ascent from Base Camp follows in the historic footsteps of Mallory and Irvine, snaking its way up the East Rongbuk Glacier between the many ice pinnacles to Advance Base Camp from where we launch our summit bid.The North Side of Everest is drained by the Rongbuk Glacier. We have chosen the date featuring the best period of the year. Our style of climbing involves professional team of excellent experience Sherpa leadership. Complete Kitchen team who knows what food to serve in the mountain, We employ the best equipment, two full kitchens and base camp plus advanced base camp, 6 camps on the mountain, 1000s of metres of fixed line, hundreds of rock ice and snow anchors, top-quality high altitude tents and high altitude stoves, expedition mix gas, and full safety equipment: medical oxygen, Gamow bag, and extensive medical kit.
