Overview

To reach the summit of the highest peak in the world - Mount Everest (8848m) is one of the exhilarating and wonderful experiences of your lifetime. You will be walking all the way through the normal route passing through the south Col, setting a first base camp at an elevation of 5400m and four more camps in the peak region at about 6065m, 6400m, 7100m and 7920m correspondingly. Since the route is technically demanding, climbers need to be aware of the probable rapid weather changes and the danger involved.

The feeling to be at the top of the world is really something unconquerable and perhaps one of the best experiences that you can get. A short walk all along the moraine will take you to the icefall with huge crevasses which are considered as one of the obstacles for Everest expedition. Also, our experienced Sherpa teams will fix ropes as well as ladders that will assist the climbers to traverse through this part to reach Camp I. And then we will continue our climb in order to reach the Camp II. We will ascend on snowy and rocky way up that take us to Lhotse Face then to Camp III. From the camp III our ascend all along the moderate mixed rocks and snow becomes more challenging which will certainly take us to South Col- the Camp IV. The path steepens after moving up to snow slopes to arrive at the crest of the South East edge and we have a easy climb after that steep climbing once more to reach to the South summit. A small traverse and we will climb on a short, vertical rock and snow channel that leads to the final point, to the very top of the Everest.

Definitely, Mt. Everest is a climbing peak to everyone from expert mountaineer to an inexperienced but adventure lover for which you will be guided by a proficient mountain guide as well as team of ascending Sherpa guides. Unique Adventure Treks is confident to offer you Mount Everest Expedition with the first-class service. Let us get it organized for you.

I did not know what to expect and quite honestly did not have to think at all. That was the great part, I showed up and they tailored it to my needs. I even extended mid trek and was able to stay longer per the guidance of this team. I can not wait to come back again soon.
