Details
Expedition in Nepal is the ultimate adventure activity for all the climbers around the globe to scale the tallest and toughest peaks in the Himalayas.
Mountaineering Expeditions in Nepal became a popular adventure sport all over the globe since Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay scaled Mt. Everest in May 1953. The lure of the Himalayas is irresistible for mountaineers, as the Himalayas are the highest and most challenging range of mountains on earth. Their breathtaking beauty, vastness, fascination, magic and mystery will always have an everlasting appeal for those who yearn to venture into this majestic Himalayan region.
The numbers of enthusiastic mountaineers who flock to the Himalayas are increasing each year – whether it is simply climbing a trekking peak or a full mountaineering expedition on a 7000 or 8000-metre peak. Joining an expedition group in Nepal has become the dream and ultimate goal for many adventurers and mountaineers.
We cater for the Nepal expeditions as per the requirements of individuals and groups.
The Everest Expedition in the Himalayas presents one of the world’s greatest physical and mental challenges with such a wonderful feeling of pride and the sense of being the most adventurous person on the planet. The South Col route on the Nepal side of Mt. Everest is the route taken by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa who was the first to climb Everest successfully on 29 May 1953 thus becoming the world’s famous heroes of adventure climbing. Expedition to Mt. Everest has been successfully guided and climbed many times since then, but this should not lull prospective Everest climbers into complacency – climbing Everest is the ultimate challenge. To join our International Everest Expedition team in Nepal, you must have extensive mountaineering experience of climbing expeditions at least 6000 meters as well as an experience of scaling difficult alpine mountain peaks, preferably, some climbing experience of the 7000 or 8000-metre peaks in the Himalayas. Although fixed ropes will be used, Everest expedition members must be able to ascend and descend fixed lines independently and be proficient with crampoons on very steep ice and snow slopes.
