Mt. Everest Expedition is the highest peak in the world. It is situated in Nepal's topographically and ethnically diverse country at а height of 8848 meters. Mt. Everest receives about 1000 climbers per year; while a highly adventurous yet probably fatal climb, reaching the summit of this majestic peak is a feat. Since it had been a successful ascent in 1953, many successful and unsuccessful attempts have since been carried out to reach the top of the world. But proper acclimatization, good physique, sheer determination, and mental alertness are the basic requirements of the Mount Everest expedition.

Of the two routes, the route via Nepal is best for climbing Everest. This trek starts with а flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, followed by a hike into Namche Bazaar, the destination for all supplies for the tour. Then, the trails move towards Everest Base Camp with proper acclimatization. Finally, the path goes by a trek along the Khumbu Glacier to the Everest Base Camp near the Khumbu Icefall, while Everest Base Camp is at a height of 5364 meters. Even though enough time for proper acclimatization requires avoiding altitude sickness.

After crossing crevasses and large chunks of ice, reach an altitude of 6400 meters at camp I, whereas camp 2nd is set up at the foot of the Lhotse Wall. Similarly, Camp 3rd is at an altitude of 7100 m and requires climbing over the Lhotse wall. Oxygen needs basically over the 3rd camp to the height of Camp 4th at 8400 m and above. Since it passes through the southeast ridge, a careful ascends upwards to reach the summit. The top of the peak offers spectacular views of other mountain ranges and landmarks, looking small. However, reaching the top of Everest might have fatal consequences, so know how to climb and take special precautions.

Upper mustang trek

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!

A wonderful experience!

I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!

I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.

Impressive tent trekking Dolpo 2023

The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo

Honest & Friendly

Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.

Reliable and responsible

I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
