About Mount Everest Expedition

Join Nepal Dream on our Everest expedition 2023 as we are now preparing for the upcoming climbing season. Climb the highest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest, with the best mountaineers who make sure you not only reach the summit of Mt. Everest safely but return safely too.” 

Regardless of all the media attention over Mount Everest and the number of climbers attempting to reach its top, climbing this giant mountain is not an easy feat. Even with all the support and assistance of the best Sherpas, you'll be needing physical fitness, willpower, determination, and a strong mindset to reach the top of the mountain that demands you to break all your limits. 

Nepali people call Everest, Sagarmatha. The mountain is located northeast of the country in the Khumbu region, which is an extreme part of the world. From Gorak Shep onwards, there is no settlement, so you have to be self-sufficient, otherwise it's nature that will take on you, and trust us, you wouldn't like that. 

During our 63 days of Mt. Everest expedition, you will be guided by an expert team. From the moment you sign up with us to the summit and back, we will be with you at every step of this ultimate mountaineering adventure. You will spend multiple days trekking and acclimatizing before reaching Everest base camp. The base camp will be our permanent camp. We will have all of our tents, supplies, doctors, and all logistics support at the base camp.

We have customized a 63-day Everest expedition for 2023 & 2024. It is a tested itinerary plan that follows the southern route, which has the highest success rate. The 63-day Mount Everest expedition package provides you ample time to adjust to the surroundings as you gradually gain elevation. 

From the Mount Everest base camp to the summit and back, we’ll spend 43 days. In these 43 days, we'll be acclimatizing and joining multiple pre-climbing training. We will do many rotation ascends to Camp I, Camp II, and further before the final push towards the summit of Mount Everest. In between the time, our team will stay updated with the weather condition and look out for the best climbing window. 

Climb Mount Everest with the best Sherpa guides at Nepal Dream

Our mountain guides have summited Mount Everest numerous times before and led many individuals to the top of it as well. When we say you'll climb with an experienced team, we mean Sherpas who have 10+ years of climbing experience and have climbed numerous mountains in the Himalayas. They do the most difficult work for you on Everest, establishing and maintaining the routes through the notorious Khumbu Icefall and beyond. 

We will take it slow but do not let us get unfocused. Our base camp crew, the porters, will take care of all the logistical operations. We control all of our operations in-house to uphold and ensure our high service standards. The goal is to offer the best Mount Everest climbing experience to our foreign guests while keeping up with the safety that you can see at every step of the expedition. 

Tents & supporting crew

All the climbing members will get a personal sleeping tent with an Exped down-filled mattress for extra comfort. Likewise, we have separate dining and washroom tents. Of course, the dining tent is more sort of a common area where the team can mingle and plan. 

The dining tents are well carpeted, heated, and lit by solar electricity. We make sure your time at base camp is as comfortable as possible. To maintain hygiene, we keep the shower tent and toilet tents separate. 

An experienced cook will be at the base camp with you to cater your delicious nutritious meals and beverages. The porters will set the tent before you arrive at the base camp and welcome you. 

Everest expedition south col route climbing strategy

As we mentioned earlier, we have our permanent Everest expedition camp at 5,364 meters. FYI: it is the lap of Mt. Everest, known as the Everest base camp. Our acclimatization hike goes up to Camp III. We'll be going on and off of the Khumbu Icefall numerous times during the acclimatization period. The mountain guides will ensure the high camps are well stocked with all the essentials, food, and oxygen cylinders. 

Before we move towards the summit, we return to the base camp for recuperation and rest. As soon as we get the signal of the summit window, we push towards Camp I (5,900 m/19,500 ft) at the pinnacle of the icefall, Camp II (6,400 m/21,000 ft) in Western CWM, Camp III (7,300m /23,700 ft) at the top of the cirque on Lhotse Face, Camp IV (7,900m/25,912ft), and finally to the summit. 

The guides will fix ropes for you. We will cross crevasses and seracs with the help of leaders and crampons. Our climber-Sherpa ratio will be 1:1. 

Everest expedition booking open for Spring 2023 and 2024

After leading many individuals and groups to the top of Mt. Everest in the last few years, we are glad to open our Everest expedition for the 2023 climbing season. We are also taking pre-booking for the Everest expedition 2024. Our groups are small and packed with experienced Sherpas, which increases the success rate. 

To book a spot for you, get in touch with us as soon as we can. It is better to book at least 3 to 5 months prior to the expedition time to prepare well. Our team will help you with the booking process and all necessary requirements.

    The climbing period is long. We’ll spend many days at the Everest base camp before pushing toward the summit of Mt. Everest. Proper acclimatization is crucial for a safe and successful expedition. During our stay at the EBC, we do many rotations to Camp I, Camp II, and Camp III. We will be walking up and down the Khumbu Icefall to acclimatize. The mountain guides will set the tents at different camps. 

    Similarly, the Sherpas will also give you pre-climbing training and keep updating you about the weather conditions. You will learn to use the ladder, harness, carabiner, fixed rope, and ice-ax during rotations. Likewise, the Sherpas will familiarize you with crossing crevasses and ice walls. 

    Final climbing period: 

    Camp I will be at the top of the Khumbu Icefall at 5,900 m/19,500 ft. Then the route heads to Camp II in Western CWM at 6,400 m/21,000 ft. We will be crossing a lot of crevasses on the way. Then come ascends to Camp III (7,300m /23,700 ft) at the top of the cirque on Lhotse Face. We then cross the Hillary Step, and the next point is Camp IV at 7,900m/25,912ft. 

    On the day of the summit, we leave the last camp at 1 AM-2 AM and push towards the summit of Mt. Everest. Once we are above 8,000 meters, we are officially in an area called the Dead Zone. The oxygen level drops to one-third of what we breathe at sea level. Following the footsteps of your guide, you will reach the top of Mount Everest.

We request all the members of the group to participate in cleaning the base camp.

    Useful Information

    Altitude Sickness 

    The Everest expedition takes you to the top of the world, 8,849 meters. Going from sea level at a few hundred meters to this elevation for sure includes chances of altitude sickness. However, we have many acclimatization days before we even go above 8,000 meters. We make sure our body is well acclimated with the altitude before we push towards the summit of Everest. 

    The team leader regularly checks our blood oxygen level. We do many hikes and side excursions. Likewise, we also spend many days at the Everest base camp and do rotation hikes to acclimatize. All these lowers the risks of altitude sickness during the Everest expedition. We also have first-aid and necessary medications to cure any symptoms. 

    Best time to do the Everest expedition

    The best time to climb Mount Everest is during spring and autumn. April, May, and October are the stable months to scale this mountain. We keep checking the weather conditions and the summit window to push at the ideal time. Everest expedition in the spring and autumn seasons also lets you enjoy fantastic trekking through lovely forests and river valleys.  

    The visibility is crystal clear, and the mountain views are phenomenal. The trekking routes are bloomed with colorful rhododendrons, and travelers from all around the world hit the Everest base camp trek. The atmosphere is blissful and merry. 

    Food & Drinks

    During trekking: At the time of trekking, you will get three meals- breakfast, lunch & dinner. All the meals are provided as per the menu of the lodges. We have dinner and breakfast at the lodge, we spend the night, and have lunch enroute. The menu has a variety of food options, from the Nepali staple meal, dal bhat, to other options like momo, noodles, thukpa, sandwiches, burgers, pizza, porridge, steak, curries, chapati, etc. 

    During camping: We spend nights in camps at the base and beyond. All the meals during the climbing phase are prepared and cooked by our kitchen staff. A well-trained cook will be present at the base camp. We will carry all the raw materials, fuels, utensils, etc to prepare our food. We offer a delicious wide variety of food to our climbers. All the meals will be freshly cooked and nutritious. 

    Accommodation

    During trekking: Our accommodation at the time of trekking is the lodge. Two trekkers share one room. The room will be decent in size with two separate beddings. If you wish for a single room, then let us know at the time of booking. The washroom can be private or shared, depending on the lodge. The services provided by the lodges are very minimal. You have to pay a few extra bucks to utilize services like wifi, a charging station, hot showers, etc. 

    During climbing: Alpine tents will be our home during the climbing phase. We use strong, sturdy tents for our expedition. Each member of the group gets separate sleeping tents with a shared dining hall and kitchen tent. Our shower tent and toilet tents are also separate. All the tents are built by our crew. The tents will be heated with comfortable mattresses at the base camp. In other camps, you will get comfortable alpine tents to spend the nights. 

    Oxygen

    We are well equipped with ample additional oxygen cylinders for climbing. Each climber gets 8 cylinders of oxygen. Sherpas have their own additional oxygen tanks. At the time of the summit, we use 2L of oxygen at least to let you climb more efficiently. 

    Communication

    The team leader will have satellite phones for any emergency contact. We use walkie-talkies and other mediums to stay connected with the base camp while in Camp I or above. You can use your cell phone during trekking, but the network may get disturbed from time to time. 

    You can use a Nepali Sim called Ncell for the internet. Our team will help you get one. If the weather allows, you can also use the internet at the Everest base camp. There is paid WiFi available in the villages at the lower elevation. 

    Insurance

    Travel insurance is mandatory for the Everest expedition. If any rescue is needed during the expedition, travel insurance will help us get it smoothly and on time. Every second counts in the Himalayas, and you will not want to negotiate with rescue providers in times of crisis. Therefore, get yourself well-covered travel insurance for an Everest expedition that at least includes emergency air evacuation and medical bills. 

    Payment

    To reserve a seat for Everest Expedition 2023/2024, you have to send us 25% of the total package cost. We use this money to obtain permits, reserve hotels, and prepare other essentials. You have to clear all the package costs before the start of the expedition. You can do that once you arrive in Kathmandu. 

    Refund policy: 

    The trip deposit is non-refundable. You will not get the booking advance if you cancel the expedition. Therefore, we strongly recommend you include trip cancellation coverage in your insurance policy. You have to understand that organizing a trip like this demands huge preparation that is done months prior to the beginning of the expedition and costs lots of money.

    FAQs

    • Q1. Mount Everest Expedition

      How much does it cost to go on a Mount Everest expedition?

      Climbing Mount Everest requires a lot of money. From getting the expensive permit to paying for logistics, Sherpas, porters, etc. Usually, a climber may pay from USD 45K to USD 100K for the expedition. On the lower end, we have seen some companies running the expedition at USD 35K. Our prices are based on the comfortable and hassle-free experience we offer along with the safe venture. 

      Can I climb Mount Everest for free?

      Well, no, you cannot climb Mt. Everest for free. Climbing Everest requires lots of things that cost money, including permits and crew expenses. 

      How long does it take to climb Mount Everest?

      Our Everest expedition itinerary is 63 days long. We spend lots of days acclimatizing and preparing for the summit push at this time. Some companies have 55-day or 50-day itineraries too. You can customize the Everest Expedition itinerary with us. 

      Can a normal person climb Everest?

      In order to climb Mt. Everest safely and successfully, one has to be in strong shape and healthy, along with must-have high-altitude awareness. Have one-year training time. Go on regular hikes and treks. Explore the high elevation and mountainous terrain. Go to the gym and get fit.

      Can I climb Everest with no experience?

      No, you cannot climb Mount Everest without any prior climbing experience. It will be too risky to endeavor on this very strenuous climbing venture if you are not aware of high elevation and the hurdles it brings. You cannot climb the highest mountain in the world without knowing anything about it. 

      How cold is it at the top of Everest?

      The top of Mt. Everest is one of the most extreme places on Earth. It is above the normal oxygen zone a human can survive. The temperature drops as low as -60°C (-76°F). High exposure to the sun, strong winds & hurricanes are also the biggest issues that make being at this point very difficult. 

      How long can you stay in the Everest death zone?

      Usually, climbers spend 16 to 20 hours in the death zone. This combines climbing to the summit of Everest and returning. Staying more than that may lead to HACE (High altitude cerebral edema) or other breakdowns of the body. 

      What is the death zone on Mount Everest?

      The area above 8,000 meters (26,000 ft) is known as the death zone on Mount Everest. The last camp (Camp IV) will be a few hundred meters below this point. The oxygen level drops drastically above 8,000 meters, making it a death zone for humans. 

      What is the hardest part of Everest?

      As per the mountaineers, the area between the south summit and the true summit, the Hillary Step, is the hardest part of Everest. It is a very technically difficult section of the expedition. 

      Do you have to be in good shape to climb Mount Everest?

      Yes, you have to be in very strong shape and health to join Mount Everest's expedition. Fitness is key to being able to walk and endure the hurdles. Do lots of physical training and cardiovascular training to get ready for the expedition. 

      Do Sherpas use oxygen on Everest?

      Sherpas are natives of the Himalayas. Their body is built to survive in the harsh climate of the Himalayas. No doubt they are very strong and resilient, but at the same time, the low oxygen above 8,000 meters demands additional support for a safe summit. 

      Some Sherpas have climbed Everest without surplus oxygen but climbing this mountain to support other individuals demands much more energy and effort. That is why we ask our crew to use oxygen and not push themselves unnecessarily, which may jeopardize the safety of the entire climbing team .
