Mt Everest Expedition

USD 36,600 / Per person

Trip Overview

Mount Everest, Chinese call Zhumulangma; Nepali Romanized: Sagarmatha; Tibetan: Chomolungma is Earth's highest mountain above sea level, located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas. The China–Nepal border runs across its summit point. Its elevation (snow height) of 8,848.86 m (29,031.7 ft) was most recently established in 2020 by the Nepali and Chinese authorities.

Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary made the first official ascent of Everest in 29 May 1953, using the southeast ridge route.

There are two main climbing routes, one approaching the summit from the southeast in Nepal and the other from the north in Tibet. While not posing substantial technical climbing challenges on the standard route, Everest presents dangers such as altitude sickness, weather, and wind, as well as significant hazards from avalanches and the Khumbu Icefall.

After final preparations for the historic Everest Expedition in Kathmandu, Asian Hiking Team fly to Lukla and begin our Hotel/ Lodge trekking up the Khumbu Valley into Everest base camp. We will establish our base camp at 5300m at the foot of the notorious Khumbu Icefall before making our way to Camp 1 at 6200m. We will climb to Camp 2 at 6,600m smacks in the middle of the Western Camp up to the Lhotse face to Camp 3 at 7200m. Finally, we'll head up the South Col or Camp 4 at 8000 m before making it to Mount Everest summit view.

Base Camp to Camp 1: If everything else works out, you don't have to segue because of an unstable wall or something nasty happening, you should be in Camp 1 after about six hours.

From Camp 1 to Camp 2: About four to five hours. If all fixed ropes are set, and you're not in a traffic jam up, you'll be across quickly.

Camp 2 to Camp 3, Lhotse Wall: About 6 hours get you from Camp 2 there. Again, this is assuming you'll be able to just do your thing, and it's not a fun place to be.

Camp 3 to Camp 4 Death Zone: Your last stop before the Everest summit. It usually takes at least six hours, often longer, because now you're fighting diminishing oxygen, the stress and exhaustion from the previous legs, and a lack of sleep.

Summit day, if you manage to get out before midnight, you're in luck (Everest expedition!). You get to see the Mount Everest summit view here. If Hillary Step isn't backed up, you'll be done and one summit pin richer in about 10 to 14 hours. If you can't make it to the summit before 1pm, you won't make it, so there's very little that can extend this leg unless bad stuff happens.

Thank you so much for Everest! Super guide Kaji!!!
Thank you so much for Everest! Super guide Kaji!!!
I'm so sorry for the delay in sending this email - but I have been in German on a busy schedule - and am only now 'wrapping-up' my trip.
We are really appreciated with Mr Suman and thank you very much for the perfect organization of our Everest Expedition trip. It was better than projected and we enjoyed everything you recommend and planned for us. Our Climbing Sherpa and porters a company of staffs for the expedition to Everest Expedition are very experience helpful and friendly. We had lot of fun together; we always stayed in clean and nice Hotel/Lodge, although there was flight cancelation for server days. Everest climbing was one of the best experiences we had in our life time. The glacier view and Mountain View are just perfect. I have many pictures I give you.
There was nothing to wrong about because you picked us from the Airport reconfirmed our flight and always understood where we wanted; first we just wanted to book the peak climbing but your professional work convinced us to book Expedition with Asian Hiking Team. Another great experience thanks again. Our climbing Shepa guide Kaji Sherpa, I never forget!! Very strong and helpful. Owhoo!!!
I can very much recommend this Asian Hiking Team for anybody who wants top origination Expedition no matter what you want to do decent price.
Thank.

Great company for an amazing Expedition!
Great company for an amazing Expedition!
Great organization with Suman, the office manager. Very responsive to inquiry, and very professional. Our guide was supportive, full of information, fun to hang out with and always had our safety and best interests in mind.
I found Ngima Tenji Sherpa and his team to be timely, honest, engaging, supportive and present. The food at EBC (Everest Base amp) was outstanding and the infrastructure support to be wonderful. We all had our own ‘two man’ tents in EBC! Now, that being said it would have been nice to have sit down toilets at base camp. He fully support me to push the summit. I used 4 bottle of oxygen. It was really difficult but forget my pain after I was on top.
I would go back with them in a heartbeat! I recommend them to other experienced climbers attempting Everest.
