Mt. Everest 8848m. the 1^st Highest Peak in the world

This Expedition groups fly to Lhasa from Kathmandu . But the crews travel by automobile to Lhasa ; and hole climbing equipments of the member are carried by the by truck with care of the crews. And all of your crews will be met there in the base camp itself.

KATHMANDU - Lhasa (Saturday & Tuesday): Morning about at 10:00 A.M. you will be heading to the Kathmandu airport 8KM far from City. To fly for Lhasa, This must be perhaps the most beautiful flight in the world from Kathmandu to Lhasa crossing above the world highest peak mount Everest and the other charismatic Himalayan rages. After one hour 10 minutes, you reach Gongar airport in Tibet . From airport to Lhasa city, it is 90 km; you will go there either by bus or Jeep; and reach in the hotel and to take rest for the acclimatization.

LHASA : One day or 2 days will be Sightseeing time frame and excursions to POTALA PALACE , NORBULINKA, THE JOKHANG and the surrounding BAKHOR market, DREPUNG & SERA MONASTERIES.

LHASA - GYANTES: 280 KM. Many busy villages, yaks, mountain sheep, and lakes are on your route on this day and; you should cross the famous Brahma-Putra River (Son of Brahma god, the creator of this cosmos) also at this time. Now passing over Karo La and Kamba passes, 5,010m & 4,794m respectively, you final destination awaits Ghyantse.

GYANTSE - Lhatse 200km. The morning is for you to explore the Tibet 's second largest city Xigatse for one hour, including the world famous Tashilumpo Monastery. In the afternoon, you will arrive in Lhatse from where the road to MT KAILASH is bifurcated.

Lhatse to Everest Base camp: 200 km. Now this is the last day to reach in your Everest Base camp by crossing the Maphu La pass 5220m; and after reaching Shegar city way to Everest Base camp is intersected.

We set up our camp at Chinese Base Camp and stay two nights or more and it depends on our members feeling. We also make schedules of the yaks by that time. Base camp and advance base camp fixed at the different places are kept there permanently until finishing the whole expedition. Now 2 days walk towards the ABC starts from here.

After walking 2 days, we reach to ABC 6400m along with the Yaks. From ABC, the route goes to the east Rongbuk (Everest Base) glacier and after that there is an easy snow slopes to the North Col at 7000m, where camp 1 is situated on snow . 

After that there is a long reasonably angled snow slopes to climb 7400m , where we should put camp 2 on snow. The route from Camp 2 to camp 3 is the series of the rocks, which is a little bit difficult, But again there is a very easy terrain to walk ahead to set up camp 3. This camp 3 is at the height of 7900m on the rock.  

The route again goes through a series of rocky climbs, and then there is a median angled snow slopes where we have to climb on mixed rocks and snow until we reach camp 4 at 8400m. Now this camp is on the rock but some times ago, it was covered by snow. To reach there, we have to fix the ropes on climbing but there are safety lines, which provide you safe place when you are tired and the wind seems windy to blowing there . This route is mostly very windy especially between Camp 2 to camp 3

Camp 4 is the last camp for Everest summit from North East Ridge . Now the route is mixed with rocks and snow steps. This step is quite steep in many places so you require very considerable care for yourself, to your clothing and oxygen equipments. 

After that, the North East Ridge is wide but we have to climb through small steps with a little bit height until we go ahead where we fix the rope. Above there the climbing is a little bit exposed but it is easy again to reach ahead in the second steps. After the second steps the route is in the series of small nude ridge, which is some times covered with snow.

After that route with large boulder where we should use ladder to climb ahead, again after that section of the route, we should fix the rope. Above these steps, the route is relatively easy with gentle ground until we reach at the third steps. Now to go head it is not the series of ridge as the previous steps but we should use the fixed rope to the Col before the final summit of snow slopes. Again there are quite steep and fixed ropes to go ahead to the buttressed rocks from where there is a short section of corniced ridge to reach on the Summit of Everest.
