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

Out of the two routes, the route via Nepal is best for climbing the Everest. This trek starts with а flight from Kathmandu to Lukla since it followed by а trek into Namche Bazaar and the destination for all supplies for the trek. Likewise, the trails move towards all the way to Everest Base Camp with proper acclimatization. Thіѕ is followed by а trek along the Khumbu Glacier to the Everest Base Camp near the Khumbu Icefall while the Everest Base Camp is at а height of 5364 meters. Even though enough time for proper acclimatization requires avoiding altitude sickness.

After crossing crevasses and large chunks of ice reach at an altitude of 6400 meters at camp 1^st whereas camp 2^nd set up at the foot of the Lhotse Wall. Similarly, Camp 3^rd is at an altitude of 7100 m and requires climbing over the Lhotse wall. Oxygen requires basically over Camp 3^rd to the height of Camp 4^th at 8400 m and above. Since it is passing through the southeast ridge, а careful ascends upwards to reach the summit. Needless to say, the top of the summit offers spectacular views of other mountains ranges and various landmarks looking small in comparison. Reaching the top of Everest might have fatal consequences, so know how’s of climbing and special precaution have to be followed.
