Everest 7000m North Col Expedition
Expedition begins when you arrive to Kathmandu where you meet the staff of Monterosa Treks & Expedition in the airport and transfer you to hotel. Next day, we arrange introduction section with other climbing members & Expedition staff, we make your Tibet visa and other necessary document for the Everest north col Expedition.
After 3 day, we drive you towards Nepal-Tibet border up to Friendship Bridge through Arnico Highway, where the Chinese liaison officer and Chinese transport keeps us awaiting there. The expedition gears go by truck while we travel by Land cruiser 4wd. We take time to acclimatize for one night at Zhangmu (2300m) and two nights at Nylam (3750m), which also gives us the chance to trek up high hills near by there.
Next day we drive to Tingri (4350m) where we spend further two nights acclimatizing. Then we drive Tingri to Base camp 5400m along rough way with jerking & bouncing through grassy plain leading up to Everest Base Camp, which is also called Chinese base camp.
We set up our camp at Chinese Base Camp and stay two nights or more, depending on how everyone feels. We also make schedules of the yaks by that time. Base camp is a temporary but comfortable affairs with our Nepali cook and dining tent. Now the two-day walk towards advanced base camp (ABC) begins. After waking 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 7070m. You have permit to only North Col and this call Everest North Col Expedition.
