Mt Everest South Face Expedition
Trip Facts
Trip Introduction:
Everest South Face Expedition is the crown of all expeditions conducted in Nepal. Expedition to the summit of Mt. Everest (8,848m) is a dream for many adventurers. For most trekkers though, having the good view of it from Kalapatthar, Gokyo Ri or finally visiting the Everest Base Camp would still bring a sense of accomplishment and admiration. But, a successful Mt. Everest Expedition is surely the prized moment of climbing in the Himalayas.
Climbing Everest - The Ultimate Goal
Mt. Everest is the highest summit in the world; ensures an exciting and adventurous experience. The climb starts along the usual route through the South Col. We establish base camps at approximately 6000m, 6600m, 7400m and 8000m respectively. Climbing Mt. Everest along this route is straight forward. But a well-versed knowledge of extreme weather unpredictability is necessary to mitigate the risks involved High peak sleeping bags and resourceful equipment are necessary..
Mt Everest South Face Expedition or Everest South Col route relatively provides the best chances of reaching the summit, and of returning safe and sound. This is mainly because, at just under 8,000 meters, we set up the last camp so that the time spent at over 8,000 meters is minimized.
Our thorough preparation and persistence will surely conclude a successful expedition and we at Himalayan Global Expedition strive to guide you to the best of our professional knowledge and expertise.
