Mount Everest Expedition (8848.86m), the mountain that sets the yardstick for climbing achievement, lies on the border between Nepal and Tibet. The height of which a successful climber can brag, also assures life’s most rewarding experience. For this reason, the mountain attracts mountaineers all over the world, and as a result, receives around 1000 summit attempts every year.
The first successful attempt, however, was made on May 29, 1953, by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary. It is the most popular expedition, not just in the Everest region of Nepal, but around the world.
Well, who does not dream of standing on the highest point on earth?
Mount Everest Expedition (Everest Climbing) is the ultimate mountaineering adventure that allows adventure enthusiasts to conquer the summit. Nevertheless, adventure and experience, also present you with one of the greatest physical and mental challenges, as Everest lives up to its fearful reputation if the conditions decide to become unsympathetic to you. Therefore, it’s best not to underestimate the altitude and the technical difficulty.
The Expedition: Mt. Everest can be climbed from the south via the Khumbu Valley in Nepal, as well as from the north via Tibet. Amigo Treks and Expedition offers guided expedition via the South Col. As per the itinerary, 55 days are required to complete the expedition, out of which 38 days are set aside to climb the mountain. 9 days are required to trek up to the Everest Base Camp (including 2 acclimatization days). 4 high camps are set above the base camp.
Camps on the Everest Expedition Route:
Everest Base camp: 17,598'/ 5364m
The Everest base camp is located at 5364 meters above sea level. The conditions in Everest Base Camp will remain stable throughout the climbing period, with many tents and stages being stirred as the ice moves and melts. Pumori, Nuptse, Lola, Nutse, and the Khumbu Icefall surround the territory, which has pleasant mornings and surprise nighttime snow blasts. With so many endeavor groups at BC, it resembles a small village in the Himalayas.
Everest Camp 1: 19,500'/5943m
Since it crosses the Khumbu Icefall, arriving at Camp 1 is the most specialized part of a southside move. The Icefall is 2,000 feet of sliding ice down Everest's west shoulder, featuring cavernous chasms, transcendent ice sera, and torrential flows. During the climbing phase, we try to spend only two evenings at Camp I for acclimatization. If you've had enough acclimatization, the game plans call for you to go straight from camp II to security.
Everest Camp 2: 20,998'/ 6400m
Camp 2 is located on the western border on a sidelong moraine. It is a heavily fortified area with spectacular views of Lhotse. All groups put up their primary climbing camp for the duration of the climbing time here, with tents for individual climbers as well as cooking and dining tents. Camp II is an important acclimatization camp and the command center for Focus III. After base camp, this is the camp where you will spend the most time.
Everest Camp 3: 23,500'/7162m
Climbing the Lhotse Face to Camp 3 is frequently difficult because practically all climbers are experiencing the effects of high altitude and are not yet utilizing supplementary oxygen. The Lhotse Face is steep and the ice is rough, although the path is rope-assisted, with angles ranging from 30 to 45 degrees. It's a tough climb to Camp 3, but it's necessary for acclimatization before attempting the peak. For acclimatization and the summit push, you will stay two nights at Camp Three.
Everest Camp 4 /South Col: 26,300'/8016m
Welcome to the moon—Everest to the north and Lhotse to the south, both of which are covered in loose rock. The final camp is located at the South Col; most climbers can reach it without supplemental oxygen. Before camp 4, there are two rock sections to negotiate: the Yellow Band, an inter-layer of marble, phyllite, and semi-schist rock, and the Geneva Spur, an anvil-shaped rib of black stone. Both of these zones are equipped with fixed ropes.
Summit: 29,032′/ 8848.86m
The final part from the South Col to the summit takes between 9 and 13 hours to complete. Before reaching the central panel, there is the Balcony, the Hillary Step, and the South Summit. The way to the genuine summit is a moderate snow slope, and while most climbers are fatigued, adrenaline keeps them moving at this point. After achieving the summit, we climb down the same route.
Amigo Treks and Expedition’s planning, logistics, staffing, and experience, will help you achieve your lifetime dream, as the company offers fully inclusive support up to the summit. The supports include experienced mountaineers, guides, and crew members with extensive knowledge of wilderness medical training; permanent base camp, excellent expedition cook and manager, full board meal and accommodation, solar electricity, internet facility, satellite phone, professional and reliable weather forecast service for the expedition and other required logistics necessary for a successful expedition.
Moreover, this expedition also presents the best cultural trek opportunity into the scenic Sherpa heartland of the Khumbu Valley. March-May and October-November are considered the best seasons to plan this expedition, while the monsoon and December –February are considered the most unfavorable times for an expedition. Our support combined with your enthusiasm, patience, and perseverance will help you achieve your lifetime dream. However, if you aren’t ready to attempt the Everest Expedition yet, Amigo Treks and Expedition offer other best expedition options like Pumori Expedition, Annapurna Expedition, Amadablam Expedition, or even Dhaulagiri Expedition.
Amigo Treks and Expedition has compiled a list of essential equipment, personal medical provisions, and summary of medical conditions likely to encounter during 8000m mountaineering expeditions to help mountaineers in preparation and provisioning for climbing or mountaineering expedition.
This list should be considered as an essential summary and expeditioners embarking on the adventure are encouraged to conduct further study and practical exercises to familiarize themselves with the equipment, medical terminology and understanding of medical conditions related to high elevation, cold, wind, excessive sun radiation as well as injuries likely to sustain in the outdoor situation and in particular high and remote mountainous areas.
Essential Personal Climbing Gear:
Clothing
For under garments we recommend Merino Wool from Icebreaker because the company understands climbers and mountaineers needs and utilises the best quality material in the world. No other company can at this stage match Icebreaker quality. The quality in extreme conditions is essential for your comfort and safety. Merino wool is the finest wool and it matches cotton with softness and polypropylene with insulation and breath-ability because it takes moisture away from the body and keeps you dry and warm. Due to its natural nano-tube construction it has antibacterial properties, so it stays usable for much longer. It is slightly more expensive then polypropylene so is climbing and trekking.

Personal Food
Our skilful cooks will prepare 3 delicious hot meals and plenty of drinks each day in base camp, as well as in camp 2 on the mountain. This meals will consist of soup, local cheese & sausage, biscuits, dried noodles, potatoes, rice, porridge, butter, dried and tinned vegetables, fruit, meats, and fish, tea with milk and sugar, powdered juice drink, and drinking chocolate. Our Sherpas will be carrying this food to the higher camps.
We ask only members to bring 5 dehydrated meals (freeze-dried dinners) for their summit attempt. On summit day you will be at high elevation and you will be affected by the altitude with very limited appetite and for period so it is important to have flavours you most likely will consume.
We cannot cater for specific personal and uncommon foods and flavours. If you have any unusual, non-standard or specific personal, cultural or religious dietary requirements, which can only be satisfied with imported product, we ask you to bring your own imported daily snack and energy foods.
We do not provide “snack” food such as chocolate or "energy-bars". We ask that you bring or buy your own "snack" or daily cold energy food in Kathmandu or in home country. From our experience 3-6 kilos/6-12 pounds is a sufficient amount. A growing variety of imported foods such as European and American cheeses, chocolates, biscuits, cookies, nuts, and locally made power-bars are now available in Kathmandu, at realistic prices. However, imported brands of power bars, GU, re-hydration drinks, dehydrated food, "freeze-dried meals", imported cheese and sausage may not be available. If you want these items, you must bring them from your home country. Many of our members, especially Britons, Europeans, and Australians with tiny baggage allowances, now purchase their daily snacks in Kathmandu. Our schedule in Kathmandu allows sufficient time for shopping.
Miscellaneous Practical Items:
Oxygen
On Everest, although some climbers wish to try to summit it without supplemental oxygen, most of members would prefer to have oxygen available. We only allow members to climb Everest with the supplemental oxygen available. How much oxygen one requires is an individual decision; some people want 1 bottle, others want 12; our only requirement is that every expedition team member must have at least one oxygen bottle available for personal use, which will constitute at the minimum an emergency supply for climber to get down to at least camp 4. Our experience indicates five oxygen bottles is usually a sufficient for average climber. All of the equipment is guaranteed to work well together, and it is easy to use, with simple threaded and snap-on fittings which require no tools. We have a 40% buy back policy on unused oxygen bottles, and masks, hoses, and regulators in good condition.
Note: You may have to carry some or all of your own oxygen on summit day, as well as up and down the mountain. If possible, the groups sherpas will help stock the high camps, as well as share in carrying extra bottles during summit attempts. If you are concerned you might not be able to carry your own oxygen, you may wish to hire a personal sherpa.
It takes most climbers around two months to summit Mount Everest, although it depends on factors such as weather conditions and the individual climber's experience and fitness level
Everest has been summited by 6,098 different people, for a total of (Approx.) 11,346 summits. till 2022
The cost of a standard supported climb ranges between $30,000 and $80,000. Transportation from Kathmandu, food, base camp tents, Sherpa support, and supplemental oxygen are typically included.
